# https://www.strata.io llms.txt > Strata Identity is a multi-cloud identity orchestration and agentic AI security platform that enables organizations to unify identity management across multiple clouds, providers, and applications—and govern AI agent access at runtime—without rewriting apps or consolidating identity providers. Strata's Maverics platform is the foundation for all identity operations, serving both traditional identity orchestration and agentic AI identity. Led by CEO Eric Olden, co-author of the SAML standard, Strata also created the Identity Query Language (IDQL) and the open-source Hexa project to help standardize multi-cloud identity management and policy orchestration. Key Benefits: - Migrate and modernize identity infrastructure with no downtime - Unify access policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments - Reduce risk and eliminate lock-in to any one identity provider - Orchestrate complex identity workflows easily with policy-based controls - Simplify compliance and governance for distributed identity systems - Govern AI agent access at runtime with the first identity control plane for AI agents - Enforce zero-standing privilege with per-task token minting and short-lived, scoped credentials - Get agentic AI to production with identity guardrails, observability, and human-in-the-loop authorization - Deploy in air-gapped, on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments with no dependency between customer environments and Maverics Cloud - Compliance-ready: SOC 2 Type II, NIST 1.1, 800-53, AWS FAR, CIS Benchmarks Key Features: - Identity Orchestration with Maverics platform - Just-in-time identity modernization for legacy apps - Multi-cloud policy management - Cross-cloud authentication and SSO - Identity provider independence and abstraction layer - Centralized audit logging and monitoring - Maverics Identity Orchestration for AI Agents — the runtime identity control plane that provides identity guardrails, observability, and governance for agentic AI in production - Maverics AI Identity Gateway — enterprise-grade runtime identity and policy enforcement control point for agentic behavior, enforcing least-privilege access via OPA/Rego policy-based authorization - Runtime Identity Control Plane — enforce authentication, access, authorization, audit, and attribute policies at runtime for every agent action - MCP enforcement — secure MCP servers and APIs with complete identity management; federate MCP servers through the AI Identity Gateway using standard OAuth/OIDC protocols - Human-in-the-loop authorization — step-up approval workflows for high-risk agent actions with compliance and control checkpoints - Delegated OBO authorization — On-Behalf-Of (OBO) impersonation and delegated authorization with OAuth 2.0, including Demonstration of Proof of Possession (DPoP) to prevent token replay - JIT agent lifecycle — just-in-time creation of ephemeral agent identities, bound to task and delegation chain, retired when the task is done - Agent authentication — OIDC Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), PKCE, SPIFFE/SVID workload identities, and discovery options - Agent authorization — policy-driven, attribute- and context-aware authorization using PBAC, ABAC, Rego/OPA, and IDQL - Agent observability — end-to-end transaction observability via OpenTelemetry with delegation chain and decision context logging to Splunk, Grafana, or SIEM for proof and forensics - Identity Fabric integration — connects existing cloud and on-prem IDPs (Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping, Keycloak) to secure agents without rip-and-replace; also connects with agent registries including the AGNTCY open-source working group - Maverics Sandbox for Agentic Identity — a hands-on POC environment that spins up in under 5 minutes with pre-integrated IDPs, MCPs, APIs, and live policy enforcement; acts like a flight simulator for agents Key Use Cases: - Migrate from legacy IAM to modern cloud identity - Enable zero trust access across clouds - Maintain business continuity during identity transitions - Support M&A and divestitures with flexible identity integration - Ensure consistent security controls across diverse identity sources - Secure agentic AI at runtime — enforce least-privilege, per-action access for AI agents hitting APIs, MCP tools, and internal services - Eliminate standing agent credentials — replace long-lived, broadly scoped service accounts with task-scoped, short-lived tokens via dynamic OAuth token minting - Prove agent accountability — end-to-end audit trail showing who requested an action, which agent acted, what it touched, and why it was allowed - Govern MCP servers at scale — federate disconnected MCP servers into enterprise identity infrastructure using standard OAuth/OIDC, dynamically downscoping permissions per tool and task - Validate agent controls before production — use Maverics Sandbox to POC token exchange, MCP enforcement, human-in-the-loop, and observability with real agent scenarios Industry Solutions: - Financial Services — prevent unauthorized trades and enforce runtime identity controls in high-speed markets - Healthcare — protect patient data with human-in-the-loop controls and identity governance for AI agents - Retail — secure AI-driven purchasing and inventory workflows with scoped agent credentials - Government — prevent unauthorized agent actions in high-stakes, air-gapped operations ## Product & Features -
