> Hydden gives security teams one record of every human, non-human identity and AI agent.

The Identity System of Record for the Agentic Enterprise

AI agents are changing access faster than identity tools can keep up. Hydden sees every human and agent across every system you run, and acts before risky access can be used.

## Every Agent. Every Person. Every change, as it happens.

Hydden reads the systems you already run and keeps one current record of all of it. See what each identity can reach, and act the moment it changes.

## Discover, observe, and control every identity.

Hydden finds every identity first, records every change, then controls each one, in Hydden or through the tools you already own.

1. **Discover every identity, everywhere** Hydden collects accounts from cloud, on-prem, custom and legacy systems into one place, auto classifies each identity type and maps every non-human identity to its human owner. [How discovery works](https://www.hydden.ai/platform/discovery)
2. **Enrich it and record every change** Hydden analyzes entitlements to show which identities are privileged, and compares each identity's access to its peers to surface permission anomalies. It records every access and configuration change as it happens, even on systems that don't log those changes themselves. [How observability works](https://www.hydden.ai/platform/observability)
3. **Control every identity** Act directly in Hydden, from custom detection alerts to provisioning and deprovisioning. Or orchestrate the response through the PAM, IGA, SIEM and XDR tools you already run. [What you can do in Control](https://www.hydden.ai/platform/control)

## Bring order to NHI and AI agent chaos.

See every agent, every change and what each identity can reach, in one place.

Hydden tracks every AI agent, the identity it runs as and who owns it.

## Fits the tools and workflows you already run.

Context on the riskiest identities powers the downstream actions your enterprise configures, in IGA, PAM, ITDR, SIEM or Hydden.

## Common questions

### What does built for reality mean?

Policy describes the access you intended, and your SIEM records what happened after the fact. Hydden records those changes as they happen for people, machine identities and AI agents.

### What counts as a non-human identity?

Any identity that is not a person: service accounts, API keys, SSH keys, certificates, OAuth tokens, service principals, bots, workloads and AI agents. Hydden finds each one and keeps it in the same identity record as your people.

### How does Hydden find AI agents?

Hydden connects to your cloud, SaaS and identity systems, tells AI agents apart from ordinary service accounts, and links each agent to the identity it runs as and the person accountable for it.

### Does Hydden replace our IGA, PAM or ITDR tools?

No. Hydden gives those tools a complete identity record, including the machine identities and agents they do not see today, and acts through them. For example, it can rotate a secret through your vault or open a ticket in your ITSM.

### Are you a lite IGA?

No. We are not a lite IGA because we don't accept the premise that IGA will exist in the future. Lite IGA is iterative improvements on a paradigm that does not work in an AI-native world.

### Are you a lite PAM?

No. We are not a lite PAM because we don't accept the premise that PAM will exist in the future. Lite PAM is iterative improvements on a paradigm that does not work in an AI-native world.

### How does Hydden work with our SIEM?

Hydden sends identity events and risk to your SIEM, such as Cortex XSIAM or SentinelOne, so analysts can see blast radius and drive remediations from the tools they already use.

### Can Hydden change access on its own?

Only if you allow it. Remediation is opt-in for each agent you build, every action is logged, and agents are rate limited to 100 actions an hour.
