New unmanaged identity observed · 12m ago
The blind spot: unmanaged identities
IAM and SSO protect the identities you know. Risk hides in the ones you don’t: forgotten employee logins, ex-employee accounts that never got shut down, personal sign-ups with corporate email, test accounts with lingering admin rights, unmonitored service accounts.
These shadow identities bypass your SSO and MFA policies, create compliance gaps, and often lead directly to shadow data and shadow apps.
Why it matters now
Shadow identities translate directly into unmanaged access, unmanaged data, and unmanaged risk.
- Unauthorized access: attackers walk in through old, unmanaged accounts.
- Compliance gaps: audits fail when identities aren’t in scope.
- Privilege creep: stale accounts quietly accumulate access.
- Shadow data & apps: unmanaged identities → unmanaged data and apps.
What Aurora does
Illuminate every unmanaged account tied to your domain, then give your team the confidence to act.
- Visibility: see every unmanaged account tied to your domain—beyond SSO.
- Control: prioritize high-risk, orphaned, or over-privileged accounts.
- Confidence: show your board and auditors the unknowns are now known.
- Focus: automate discovery and cleanup so your team isn’t chasing ghosts.
How we’re different
-
Vs. CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker):
We don’t inspect traffic; we surface identities from email breadcrumbs.
-
Vs. SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management):
We don’t scan apps; we map the accounts that access them.
-
Vs. data security tools:
We start before the data—at the identity.
How it works (60-second view)
- Connect email (Google Workspace; Microsoft 365 on the roadmap).
- Surface unknown identities with Aurora domain intelligence applied to email metadata.
- Triage & govern: revoke, migrate to SSO, monitor continuously, and set policies.
Mini-FAQ
-
Do you read emails?
No—never. Our AI model works only with email metadata (e.g., sender, subject).
-
What do I see on Day 1?
Identities for security teams to act on immediately - dormant users, ex-employee access, non-SSO signups, or high-risk accounts.
