AI identity and access management software: what they are and who makes them
runtime identity protection, access governance and visibility, directory and login platforms, customer identity for applications: Silverfort, Veza, Saviynt through Clerk.
Types of AI identity and access management software
Runtime identity protection
Silverfort and Duo sit on or beside authentication and decide at sign-in time. They add risk scoring, MFA and threat response on top of existing directories, which helps with legacy systems and with attacks that reuse stolen credentials, though neither replaces the directory.
Access governance and visibility
Veza, Saviynt and SailPoint answer who can reach what and whether they should. They run reviews, remove excess privilege and, increasingly, register AI agents as identities, but they rely on a separate system for the login itself, so budget for both layers.
Directory and login platforms
JumpCloud, Okta, Ping Identity and Microsoft Entra ID hold the user directory and issue single sign-on, MFA and conditional access. They differ in price transparency, deployment flexibility and how closely they tie to a larger vendor stack, which is what makes switching between them slow.
Customer identity for applications
Auth0 handles login for the customers of your own product rather than your staff. Developers integrate it by API, and the AI-related features center on bot and leaked-password protection plus token handling for agent workflows rather than staff access, so it complements a workforce directory.
