To take Strata to the next level, we’re announcing that we’ve raised an $11M Series A, led by outstanding new investor Menlo Ventures. They sincerely believe in our disruptive vision for Identity Orchestration. With this round, Strata deeply extends our bench depth and experience. This funding puts us in the position to help more customers succeed in moving to multi-cloud environments. Strata will use this capital to scale our distributed identity technology and develop the Identity Orchestration market.

In a recent eWEEK product review, Frank Ohlhorst examines how Strata tears down identity silos and provides the visibility organizations need to regain control over identity management in hybrid environments. The review provides a deep dive into the Strata Identity Fabric and how it brings Identity Orchestration and automation to multi-cloud environments.

Strata Identity, the distributed multi-cloud identity company, today announced it has joined the (MISA). Strata was nominated for membership for its integration with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication and access control to on-premises applications tightly integrated with legacy identity systems (e.g. CA SiteMinder or Oracle Access Manager). The Strata Maverics Identity Orchestrator enables organizations to transition applications to Azure AD with no user experience changes and no burden on application teams.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, Mircosoft customers need to access all mission-critical apps from home securely, including legacy applications. While Azure AD Application Proxy can provide remote access to your legacy apps, some customers prefer to use their existing application delivery networks, VPNs, or Software Defined Perimeter solutions. That’s why we’re expanding our Secure Hybrid Access Partnerships to include new partners such as Strata Identity.

According to the “RightScale State of the Cloud” report, virtually every company (84%) that uses infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) or platform-as-a-service (PaaS) clouds uses more than one provider. The coexistence of multicloud and hybrid clouds introduce an inherently distributed architecture that spans multiple platforms and identity systems and force companies to adapt to a distributed security model.

“Most applications are brittle and do not react well to major technology shifts. For enterprise technology to avoid obsolescence, we need to design systems that not only survive stress but thrive under it. With the increasing adoption of multicloud architectures, traditional centralized identity management is coming under stress. To keep up, a next-generation approach to identity is needed that is antifragile.”
