Value proposition

Eliminates 'identity debt' and security blind spots by providing total visibility into the identity lifecycle, automating governance, and mitigating risks associated with over-privileged human and machine accounts.

Products and solutions

Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security & Governance, AI-Driven Identity Mapping Engine, Automated Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Identity Lifecycle Visibility Dashboard, Linx Autopilot (Autonomous AI Agent for Identity Governance)

Unique value

Unlike traditional IAM tools that focus on manual policy setting, Linx uses an AI-native approach to automatically discover and map the 'identity graph'—the hidden connections between users, service accounts, and cloud resources.

Target customer

Enterprise CISOs, IT security teams, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) professionals in mid-to-large scale organizations.

Industries served

Cybersecurity, Financial Services, Healthcare, Technology & SaaS, Critical Infrastructure

Technology advantage

Proprietary AI models that correlate fragmented data across SaaS, IaaS, and on-premise systems to identify 'toxic permissions' and high-risk access paths that human analysts cannot see.

How they differentiate

Linx differentiates through its AI-native 'Identity Graph' which maps the entire lifecycle of both human and non-human identities. Unlike tools that focus solely on static permissions, Linx identifies 'identity debt' by correlating fragmented data across SaaS, IaaS, and on-premise systems to uncover hidden access paths and toxic permissions.
