Security automation startup Cerby is exiting stealth mode with the public launch of a security platform designed to help companies deal with shadow IT—information technology products that are used by staff without prior approval or knowledge of IT decision makers.
Such products are either selected and onboarded by business units other than the IT department, and may not support industry standards like SAML (security assertion markup language) and SCIM (system for cross-domain identity management) for logging and exchanging identity data.
