Beyond Identity Authenticator
What Beyond Identity Authenticator is
Beyond Identity Authenticator provides corporate access to web services without requiring users to create, remember, or store passwords. It offers single-device, passwordless multifactor authentication designed to resist phishing. Authentication uses asymmetric cryptography and passkeys tied to a device, with downloads for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The product can evaluate operating-system version, firewall status, disk encryption, and endpoint detection and response signals when deciding whether a device is trusted. Its policy engine keeps checking native and integrated signals, then can revoke access or require step-up authentication when conditions change. Listed integrations include AWS, CrowdStrike, Datadog, and Jamf. Team administration is available, but multi-device synchronization is not. Beyond Identity states that it has SOC 2 Type 2 certification, GDPR compliance, FIDO2 solution-provider certification, and FIDO Alliance membership. Pricing is available on request, with no free plan.
