Built AI-native from day one
When Opti launched, no one was calling IGA ‘AI-native.’ We built AI into the governance logic from the start — not because it was a good marketing term, but because it was the only way to make access reviews actually work.
Now the incumbents are bolting AI layers on top of legacy workflows and updating their websites. That is not what AI-native means.

AI-native identity security with Opti
Access Reviews
Periodic campaigns run quarterly or annually. Managers face long lists with no context – approve everything to get through it. A compliance ritual, not a security control.
Continuous, AI-driven certifications. Opti surfaces only the anomalies that matter. Reviewers see why access is risky, not just that it exists.
Role Management
Static RBAC leads to role explosion. Exception after exception gets bolted on until no one knows what a role actually means. Over-privileged by design.
Behavior-based, continuously refreshed role intelligence. Opti analyzes real access patterns to recommend least-privilege entitlements and keeps them current.
Agentic & NHI Coverage
Built exclusively for human accounts. Service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens, and AI agents fall completely outside its scope - ungoverned by design.
Full coverage: human, non-human, and agentic identities in a single fabric. Discovery, ownership mapping, risk scoring, and lifecycle governance across every identity type.
Natural Language Policy & Rule Engine
Policies are hard-coded rules that require IT to manually configure, maintain, and update. Any change is a project. Any exception becomes permanent technical debt.
Natural language policy engine that understands intent, not just syntax. Define governance in plain language. Opti translates it into enforcement automatically – and adapts as your environment changes.
Time to Value
6-18 month deployments. Heavy customization, professional services, and ongoing maintenance before you see any return.
Connects in hours. Running governance in days. Integrates with your existing IdP, HRMS, and SaaS apps without ripping anything out.
Access Decisions
Based on static attributes – job title, department, location. No behavioral context, no peer comparison, no visibility into whether access is actually being used.
Every decision backed by AI-generated context: usage patterns, peer comparisons, risk scoring, and policy alignment. Approvals mean something.
Compliance Posture
Audit prep is a fire drill. Evidence collection is manual, access data is stale. Teams scramble every cycle to pull together what auditors need.
Audit-ready at all times. Opti continuously maps identities, access, and entitlements to roles, policies, and usage. Evidence always current.
Total Cost
High and hidden. Licensing, consultants, customizations, upgrades. 60% of organizations cite TCO as a principal deficiency of their current IGA.
SaaS delivery. Pre-built integrations. No heavy customization. Layers on top of your existing stack at a fraction of the implementation cost.

One platform, no gaps.
Every identity type
Human, non-human, and agentic identities governed together — not as separate modules or bolt-on products.
Every app, pre-built
250+ pre-built connectors. Cloud, SaaS, and on-prem. Day one coverage without custom integration work.
One graph
All identities, entitlements, and access relationships in a single model. Risk that spans silos becomes visible.
