ORCHID Security has introduced continuous identity observability for enterprise applications, a platform designed to discover, analyse, orchestrate and audit identity usage beyond traditional IAM controls. The approach begins with Discover, instrumenting applications to identify authentication methods, authorization logic and embedded credentials, in both managed and unmanaged environments.
In the Analyze phase, the platform correlates identities, applications and access paths to surface risk indicators such as shared or hardcoded credentials, orphaned service accounts and privileged paths outside IAM, with analysis driven by observed behaviour rather than policy.
The Orchestrate stage enables remediation by prioritising identity risks and integrating with existing IAM, PAM and security workflows, while Audit maintains continuous evidence of identity control so current inventories and remedial actions are always accessible. Overall, organisations gain improved visibility into application-level identity usage, reduced exposure from unmanaged access paths, faster audit preparation and clear accountability for identity risk, according to The Hacker News.
