The Modern Alternative to Aembit

Go beyond workload-to-workload access with a unified platform for every non-human identity — service accounts, secrets, AI agents, and human identities. TigerIdentity delivers Aembit's brokered access model plus complete NHI security, TIDR, and identity fabric.

Why Switch

Why TigerIdentity?

Get a complete non-human identity platform that extends Aembit's access broker with discovery, posture, threat detection, and AI governance.

Full NHI Platform

Aembit brokers workload-to-workload access. TigerIdentity covers the full NHI lifecycle — discovery, posture, TIDR, rotation, ownership, JIT — plus AI agents and secrets security.

Complete Identity Graph

Not just workloads. Every service account, API key, bot, secret, AI agent, and human identity from 80+ sources in one relationship map.

TIDR Behavioral Detection

Real-time behavioral anomaly detection for NHIs. Detect credential abuse, privilege escalation, and rogue agents that a policy broker alone cannot see.

AI Agent Governance

Native MCP gateway for monitoring AI agents, detecting shadow agents, and applying just-in-time access policies to every agent action.

Secrets Security

Discover exposed secrets across code, cloud, CI/CD, and SaaS. Automate rotation and eliminate secret sprawl — capabilities beyond workload access brokering.

Dynamic Policy Engine

YAML-based policy DSL with sub-50ms evaluation. Context-aware authorization at Zero Standing Privilege for every identity type.

FAQ

Switching from Aembit

Common questions about switching from Aembit to TigerIdentity.

Aembit specializes in brokering workload-to-workload authentication and short-lived credentials. TigerIdentity supports the same brokered-access model through its policy engine and JIT provisioning, while also giving you NHI discovery, posture scoring, TIDR threat detection, secrets scanning, and AI agent governance — so you cover the identities you never explicitly configured.
