Attackers don’t break through firewalls anymore. They log in.

They don’t need to exploit a vulnerability. They just need valid credentials. And once they’re in? The real threat is what they can access. That’s the moment most companies fall apart — not at the perimeter, but at the core: identity.

We’ve entered an era where the attack surface is no longer your infrastructure — it’s your people, apps, and identities. Isn’t it time for your identity management to keep up? 

Identity Governance Is Stuck in the Past

Today, you're managing 10x more apps than you were just a few years ago. You’re responsible for securing both human and non-human identities, spanning employees, contractors, service accounts, and bots. And yet, most companies are still using systems that were built for a world that no longer exists.

Legacy platforms were designed for a simpler time with slower-moving, on-prem environments — not the fast-changing, app-saturated, AI-accelerated world we’re operating in now.

That’s Why We Built Lumos

At Lumos, we believe there’s a better way. One that puts identity on autopilot and you back in control.

We’re not just another IAM tool. Lumos is the next layer of defense after login — giving you visibility into who has access to what, control over how that access is governed, and the speed to act when things go wrong. Enterprise and emerging enterprise companies use Lumos to make sure the right people have the right access at the right time. And they don’t need massive teams or months of implementation to get there. 

What Makes Lumos Different?

Let me break it down:

  1. Fastest Time-to-Value
  2. Stops Access Sprawl
  3. Ends Rubber-Stamping
  4. Cuts the Cost of Ownership

Let's take a look at each of these more closely.

1. Fastest Time-to-Value

Before Lumos, it took teams months (and lots of consultants) to connect a few critical apps.With Lumos, customers connect hundreds of apps in days — not months — and get full visibility across their environment.

2. Stops Access Sprawl

Before Lumos, users collected access like souvenirs — and no one ever took anything away. With Lumos, users get least-privilege access by default and dynamic adjustments when they change roles — or request one-time access with Just-in-Time controls.

3. Ends Rubber-Stamping

Before Lumos, access reviews were a compliance checkbox — "select all, approve." With Lumos, reviewers get AI-driven recommendations that flag outliers and let them remediate with a single click.

4. Cuts the Cost of Ownership

Before Lumos, you needed entire teams to manage role definitions and access policies. With Lumos, our AI updates roles dynamically, so you can govern access with less than one person — and focus your team on higher-impact work.

It’s Time for Autonomous Identity

Our vision is simple: Visibility. Control. Speed. All on autopilot.

We’ve built Lumos to eliminate the manual, reactive, error-prone processes that slow your teams down and leave your organization vulnerable. Instead of playing catch-up, Lumos lets you move faster, smarter, and more securely.

So I’ll leave you with a question:

What identity challenges are top of mind for you right now — and what would it look like to put them on autopilot?

We’d love to show you how.
