Cydenti Platform Guide

Welcome to the Cydenti documentation. Learn how to discover, monitor, and protect identities across your SaaS environment.

Platform Overview

Cydenti is a SaaS Identity Security platform designed to help organizations discover, understand, and mitigate identity risk across modern SaaS environments.

Unlike traditional security tools that focus on infrastructure or endpoints, Cydenti focuses on identities, permissions, and integrations—including non-human identities and OAuth applications—that are increasingly targeted by attackers.

What Cydenti Does

  • Continuously analyzes SaaS identity configurations and access models
  • Identifies excessive privileges and risky integrations
  • Detects identity-based threats and anomalous behavior
  • Maps identity relationships to understand potential blast radius
  • Integrates with existing SOC, SIEM, and ticketing workflows

Cydenti helps security teams move from fragmented SaaS visibility to a unified, risk-driven view of identity exposure.

Identity Security Model

Human and Non-Human Identities

Cydenti secures both human users and non-human identities, including:

  • Service accounts and automation users
  • API keys and tokens
  • OAuth applications
  • Third-party integrations

Non-human identities often have persistent and high-impact access, making them a frequent target for attackers. Cydenti prioritizes visibility and detection for these identities.

OAuth and Third-Party Access

Cydenti inventories OAuth applications and third-party integrations across supported SaaS platforms. It evaluates:

Granted scopesPrivilege levelsUsage patternsDormant access

This allows teams to identify integrations that increase attack surface and remediate unnecessary or risky access.

Blast Radius and Access Paths

Cydenti maps identity relationships across SaaS applications to show how access can propagate if an identity is compromised.

Why this matters:

  • Understand potential impact of an attack
  • Prioritize remediation based on risk
  • Reduce over-privileged access

Threat Detection & ITDR

Cydenti provides Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities tailored to SaaS environments.

Detection Coverage

Aligned with MITRE-style patterns:

  • Suspicious sign-in behavior
  • Risky privilege escalation
  • Unusual service account access
  • High-risk administrative actions

Actionable Alerts

All detections are enriched with SaaS-specific context—such as identity type, permissions, and integrations—to reduce false positives and alert fatigue.

Alerts can be forwarded to SIEM platforms or ticketing systems for seamless workflow integration.

Deployment & Integration

Agentless Architecture

Cydenti is fully agentless. It connects to SaaS platforms using secure APIs and native integration mechanisms, minimizing operational overhead.

Time to Value

Most organizations can connect initial SaaS applications within hours and generate an initial risk snapshot on the first day.

SOC Workflows

Privacy & Compliance

Data Handling and Privacy

Cydenti is designed to minimize data exposure. The platform:

  • Does not read email, file, or document content
  • Focuses on metadata, configuration, permissions, and activity signals

European Sovereignty

Cydenti supports European data protection and sovereignty requirements and aligns with GDPR expectations. Regional data handling controls are available to meet regulatory needs.

AI & Technology

Role of AI

AI is used to:

Analyze complex identity relationships
Detect anomalies and risky patterns
Prioritize risk across environments

AI Security

Cydenti’s AI components are designed with security-first principles. Customer data is processed according to strict controls and is not exposed outside approved environments.
