Problem

Local or non-federated accounts—especially non-human or break-glass accounts—often bypass the controls and visibility enforced by your primary identity provider. These unmanaged identities pose a significant risk, as they can be exploited by insiders or attackers without triggering traditional IAM alerts.

How WideField helps

WideField helps IAM teams bring these accounts into the light. By aggregating identity telemetry from SaaS, cloud, and IAM sources, WideField centralizes visibility across all identities—human or machine—regardless of whether they are federated. This enables:

  • Discovery of unmanaged, local, or standalone identities
  • Identification of privilege level and authentication behavior
  • Detection of activity that does not pass through your IDP
