Who is Cloudentity?
Cloudentity is an identity and access management platform focused on fine-grained authorization, Application Programming Interface (API) security, and privacy-aware access control for modern application architectures.
- Dynamic, fine-grained authorization for APIs, microservices, and applications (access management).
- Policy-based access control using standards such as OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and externalized authorization (identity and security).
- Privacy-aware consent and data-sharing controls for customer and partner-facing applications (privacy management).
- Developer-centric tooling and integrations for embedding authorization and identity workflows into cloud-native architectures (developer platforms).
- Zero trust-aligned access enforcement across distributed services and multi-cloud environments (zero trust security).

More About Cloudentity
Cloudentity provides technology for enterprises that need authorization, consent, and identity-aware security for distributed applications, APIs, and microservices. Its platform targets use cases where organizations expose data and services to customers, partners, and internal users through cloud-native, modular architectures. The core focus is externalized, policy-driven authorization and consent that can be enforced at the API and service layer rather than only at application front ends or monolithic identity systems.
The platform uses standards-based protocols such as Open Authorization 2.0 (OAuth 2.0) and OIDC (identity and access management) for delegated authorization and authentication integration, and typically connects to existing identity providers and user directories rather than replacing them. Cloudentity emphasizes attribute- and context-based access control policies, which can incorporate user attributes, consent records, data classifications, and run-time context to determine whether access to a given API or resource is allowed. This externalized authorization model is designed to align with zero trust security patterns, where access decisions are enforced close to the resource and evaluated for each request.
Cloudentity is commonly categorized within identity and access management (IAM), API security, and privacy/consent management. For API security (API security), its technology attaches authorization and policy enforcement to API gateways, service meshes, and microservices runtimes, enabling enterprises to define access-control rules centrally and enforce them consistently across heterogeneous environments. For privacy and consent (privacy management), the platform supports consent capture and enforcement so that organizations can manage which data elements may be accessed or shared, and under what conditions, based on user agreements and regulatory requirements.
From an architectural perspective, Cloudentity fits into environments that use microservices, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud deployment models. It integrates with API gateways, identity providers, and existing DevSecOps toolchains to embed security policies into the development and deployment lifecycle. This positions Cloudentity in marketplace categories that include identity and access management, API security, zero trust security, and data privacy and consent management, where it serves as a specialized layer for authorization and consent that complements broader identity, network, and application security investments.
