Beyond Identity

Passwordless-first IAM with FIDO2/passkey-native architecture.

By Beyond Identity, Inc. · Founded 2020 · New York, NY · private

Beyond Identity is the passwordless-first IAM platform, founded 2020 by Jim Clark (Netscape) and Tom (Pat) Jermoluk (@Home). The product's strengths: passkey/FIDO2-native architecture (no passwords ever), strong device-bound credentials, and modern UX. Best fit for security-forward organizations eliminating passwords entirely. Trade-offs: Lighter market share than Okta/Entra, integration ecosystem narrower (~150), and pricing meaningful at scale.
