The cloud login got solved. The infrastructure underneath didn't.
A decade of identity tooling poured into SSO and cloud-app MFA — and left the domain controller, the jump host, the firewall, and the Linux fleet exactly where they were. Authnull exists to close that gap, as one enforcement layer instead of a drawer of half-installed agents.
Every audit fails in the same place.
Talk to anyone running security at a company with real infrastructure and the story rhymes: the cloud apps are federated and MFA-protected, the auditor signs off on that page in a minute — and then asks about Active Directory logon, RADIUS, RDP into the server estate, SSH to Linux. Silence.
Those paths can be covered by the incumbents — but only by installing a separate component for each, self-hosting a proxy, and climbing to a higher license tier to unlock the rest. The coverage exists on paper and falls apart in operations.
We thought the enforcement decision should be the same everywhere a credential is used — so we built one layer that treats AD, RADIUS, Windows, Linux, and network gear as the same policy, not five projects.
Four principles that decide what we build — and what we refuse to.
One layer, not a patchwork
Every access path is the same enforcement decision from one policy plane. If covering a new protocol means a new agent to babysit, we’ve done it wrong.
Coexist before we replace
Nobody rips out working MFA on a Friday. We slot in where the gap is and let teams consolidate on their own timeline — never a forced cutover.
Honest about the tradeoffs
We’ll tell you where an incumbent is genuinely better and where we’re not the fit. Trust is worth more than a closed deal that unwinds in six months.
Fast to value, flat to price
Close an audit finding in days, not a quarter. Flat per-band pricing with every protocol included — no seat-by-seat math, no tier to climb for the basics.
One layer, across every path a credential travels.
We're not trying to replace your identity provider. We're the enforcement layer that picks up exactly where it stops reaching — the on-prem and infrastructure access your IdP was never built to cover.
That's a deliberately narrow charter. It keeps the product sharp, the deployment fast, and the pricing honest — and it means we coexist cleanly with whatever you already run at the perimeter.
