# Explore Cerby

Cerby is an identity platform that helps organizations secure and manage applications that cannot be integrated with traditional identity systems.

Most identity and access management tools rely on standards like SAML or SCIM to automate access. However, the majority of enterprise applications do not support these standards. In fact, fewer than 7% of the roughly 10,000 commonly used enterprise applications support SCIM. Many others lack APIs entirely, making them impossible to connect to modern identity stacks.

These disconnected applications include cloud services, legacy software, and on-premises systems. Because they cannot be centrally managed in an automated way, IT and Security teams are forced to rely on manual processes for tasks like granting access, updating permissions, and removing users. This manual approach creates security gaps, slows down operations, and increases the risk of human error.

Cerby is built specifically to solve this problem. It extends identity security to disconnected applications by integrating with your existing Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems. Instead of replacing your current stack, Cerby fills the gaps by bringing automation, centralized control, and governance to applications that were previously unmanaged.

With Cerby, organizations can apply consistent access policies across all applications, automate repetitive security tasks, and maintain full visibility into user activity. Therefore, Cerby helps reduce operational overhead while improving security and compliance.

### Key benefits

* **Reduce manual work and operational overhead:** Eliminate time-consuming, ticket-based processes for managing access. Free up IT and Security teams to focus on higher-value work instead of repetitive administrative tasks.
* **Close security gaps across disconnected applications:** Extend consistent access controls to applications that cannot be integrated with traditional identity tools, reducing risk and limiting exposure from unmanaged accounts.
* **Ensure timely and accurate access across the user lifecycle:** Grant users the right access when they need it and remove it immediately when they don’t. Minimize the risk of overprovisioning and orphaned accounts.
* **Protect high-risk and shared accounts:** Bring structure and accountability to social media and other shared accounts, reducing the likelihood of misuse, unauthorized access, or credential leakage.
* **Improve visibility and audit readiness:** Maintain a complete, centralized record of access activity across all applications. Simplify compliance and make it easier to demonstrate control during audits.
