Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, has been mentioned in the 2024 Gartner Migrate to Passwordless Authentication to Enhance Security and Optimize UX. Strata’s Maverics enables organizations to bridge the power of their preferred passwordless service with legacy applications without making costly and time consuming code modifications.
As organizations transition to more secure passwordless methods for both workforce and customer authentication, they often face the challenge of integrating legacy systems that do not support modern identity protocols like OAuth, SAML, or OpenID Connect. Strata’s Maverics platform addresses this gap by extending passwordless access across all applications—including legacy systems—without requiring changes to the applications themselves.
According to the Gartner report, “one of the constraints on using out-of-the-box (OOTB) options for workforce use cases is that they’re limited in scope to those directly supported by Microsoft or other access management (AM) or authentication tools. One way to address this constraint is to utilize a tool that can ‘bridge’ legacy applications to the preferred passwordless provider.”

Decoupling Identity from Applications
Strata’s Maverics creates a unique Identity Fabric, which decouples identity from applications, allowing organizations to deploy passwordless methods such as FIDO2 and biometric authentication without disruption. By orchestrating identity across both cloud-native and on-premises environments, Maverics extends passwordless capabilities even to systems bound by outdated technologies, ensuring a seamless and secure user experience.
“We believe that being mentioned by Gartner illustrates how we can help customers reduce security risks and improve user experience,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. “The Maverics platform makes it possible to implement passwordless methods without overhauling legacy systems, offering a scalable and non-disruptive solution for today’s hybrid IT environments.”
Strata’s identity orchestration capabilities allow enterprises to adopt passwordless authentication incrementally, eliminating the risk of hard cut-overs and single-vendor MFA bottlenecks. Maverics bridges the gap between modern identity systems and older infrastructures, enabling organizations to migrate securely to passwordless methods while preserving existing investments.
