The Core of
Modern Identity Security
To visualize identity relationships and access paths, use an identity graph that connects identities to their permissions and the resources they can reach. Cydenti maps these relationships across Microsoft 365/Entra ID, Google Workspace and Salesforce, so security teams can follow access paths for service accounts and connected applications. This is an enterprise security view of human and non-human identities, not a customer identity graph for marketing.
An identity graph is a living map of who can reach what, and through which paths.
Cydenti uses that map to show the real access story behind SaaS and cloud identities: users, service accounts, workload identities, permissions, and trust links. That matters because identity risk is rarely one bad permission on its own. It is the combination of relationships that creates attack paths and blast radius.
What it is
A continuously updated view of identities, permissions, resources, and trust relationships.
Why it matters
It reveals effective access, hidden inheritance, and attack paths that flat lists miss.
How Cydenti applies it
Cydenti turns the graph into live monitoring, risk context, and guided remediation for SaaS identity security.

The Shift in Perspective
From Lists to Relationships
Traditional ViewSiloed
But attackers don’t think in lists. They think in paths.

Relationships traversed, combined, and abused.
What the Identity Graph Connects
One Map, Every Identity
Every connection answers a single question: Who can reach what — and how?
Identities
Humans, service accounts, workloads, and AI agents
Resources
SaaS applications, cloud resources, and data systems
Permissions
Roles, groups, policies, and OAuth grants
Relationships
Trust relationships and inheritance chains
- Relationships are recalculated
- Access paths are updated
- Exposure is re-evaluated
Living, Not Static
Always Current by Design
The Identity Graph isn’t built once. It’s continuously updated. As identities change, permissions evolve, or integrations appear, the graph adapts instantly. Machine identities and workload principals constantly create thousands of machine-to-machine relationships that no human ever authorized, and the graph tracks every one in real time.
Signature Experience
Follow the Path, Not the Assumption
What was previously invisible becomes obvious — and explainable.
Select an identity
Start with any user, service account, or machine identity.
Trace every role
Visualize role assumptions and group memberships.
See inherited permissions
Understand exactly what rights are granted down the chain.
Follow the path to resources
Pinpoint exactly which sensitive assets are exposed.
Why Graph Changes Everything
Context Beats Configuration
A permission isn’t risky on its own.
A role isn’t dangerous in isolation.
An integration isn’t scary by default.
Risk emerges when connections compound.

The Audit Flash connects up to three SaaS applications through read-only APIs. Review the service accounts, credential metadata and OAuth grants visible in that scope, then agree which risks your teams should address. Coverage and timing depend on the connected applications and available data. No commitment.
