Unified Cross-Platform Enterprise Authentication Gateway

C6/10March 27, 2026
WhatA single authentication proxy that normalizes login flows across Microsoft, Google, AWS, and other enterprise identity providers into one consistent, predictable sign-on experience.
SignalA widely resonant complaint is that Microsoft's authentication system is uniquely broken — bouncing users across dozens of domains, confusing personal and organizational accounts, creating phantom accounts that block legitimate sign-ins, and requiring week-long cooldowns to fix mistakes — while competitors like Google and AWS offer simple, reliable auth.
Why NowEnterprise multi-cloud adoption means most organizations now juggle 3+ identity providers simultaneously, Microsoft's auth complexity has compounded over decades of layered legacy systems, and the shift to zero-trust architectures demands a coherent identity layer that no single vendor provides well.
MarketEnterprise IT teams managing multi-vendor identity; ~$15B IAM market growing 12%+ annually; competes with Okta and Azure AD but specifically targets the pain of Microsoft's fragmented auth UX rather than general SSO.
