The Identity Security Platform Built for Analysts

See Every Identity.
Detect Every Threat.
Stop Every Attack.

8Layers is the only platform that detects identity kill chains others miss. Correlating signals across time and enriched context to stop attacks before they escalate.

Identity risk rarely lives in one place.

Most security teams manage identity risk across disconnected tools: fragmenting context, slowing detection, and leaving gaps between finding and fixing.

Too much identity sprawl.

Over time, a company accumulates human accounts, service principals, API keys, and machine identities spread across multiple cloud providers and disconnected tools. They become ungoverned, over-privileged, and invisible: no one really knows who has access to what anymore.

Too little identity threat context.

By the time EDR or SIEM fires an alert, the attack is often well underway. The earliest stages of an identity kill chain (reconnaissance, initial access, lateral movement and privilege escalation) happen before any exploitation. That's where most breaches begin, and where tools focused on endpoints and logs go blind.

Too much manual compliance work.

Aligning your identity controls to ENS, NIS2, or ISO 27001 takes spreadsheets, point-in-time assessments, and weeks of preparation before every audit. By the time the audit is done, something has already drifted. Compliant on paper, not in practice.

Identity Security, posture, detection, and compliance.
One platform, one identity data layer.

Three modules built on a shared identity data layer, covering the full security journey from exposure to real-time response. No tool switching. No blind spots. No gaps between findings and action.

THOR

DETECTION · ITDR

One workspace to detect, investigate, and stop every attack across the identity layer.

Thor detects identity threats in real time and over months of activity, correlating behavior and access signals to surface attacks other platforms miss. When Thor fires, you get a full timeline, a causality graph, and direct response actions in one workspace.

  • Threat detection across the full history, not just the last 90 days
  • Full investigation workspace: complete timeline and causality graph
  • Automated real-time response: block, kill sessions, revoke tokens or scramble credentials

OCTAGON

POSTURE · ISPM

See every identity and prioritize every risk.

Octagon is a unified inventory of every human and non-human identity across all cloud providers and IdPs, including service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens, and AI agents. It continuously scores risk based on configuration, access, and behavior, with federation trust chains included. When an identity carries different risk levels across systems, Octagon calculates the compound exposure as a single, actionable score.

  • Unified Identity Inventory across every IdP: humans, NHIs, and AI agents
  • Continuous Risk Scoring across configuration, permissions, access, and behavior
  • Federation trust chain mapping with compound risk across systems
  • Guided Remediation with formal risk waivers and full audit trail

COMPASS

PROOF · COMPLIANCE

Map every control and prove every audit.

Compass maps your identity controls to ENS, NIS2, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, then continuously validates them. When an auditor asks for evidence, it's already generated.

  • Multi-framework mapping
  • Continuous automated validation
  • Audit-ready evidence generated automatically

From raw activity to enriched signals to correlated detections.
Every layer of context, in one platform.

For those who investigate.

Every workflow, alert, and investigation view was shaped by real SOC experience, built by people who lived it every day, not by product managers looking at competitors. That difference shows at 2 am during an active incident.

For those who answer to regulators.

ENS, NIS2, and ISO 27001 are native, not retrofitted from a generic compliance playbook. Built for organizations where compliance is not optional and evidence has to be ready before the auditor asks.

For those managing identity risk across multiple systems.

An identity that is admin in Okta, has weak MFA in Entra ID, and reaches production via SAML federation carries a compound risk that no isolated tool can calculate. 8Layers maps the full attack surface of every identity across all your IdPs and federation trust chains, and lets your team formally accept the risks that can't be fixed today, with full audit trail.

For those responsible for identities that don't have a face.

Service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens and AI agents are fully inventoried, continuously scored, and controlled. Not discovered after a breach. 8Layers gives you visibility and control over every non-human identity across all your cloud providers, with the same depth as human accounts.

Built for the way security teams actually work.

The security, governance, and operational controls that enterprise teams need from day one. Not as paid add-ons or roadmap promises.

What teams use 8Layers for.

Thor · ITDR

Identify unauthorized privilege changes across all IdPs in real time, with full context on who did what, when, and from where.

Octagon · ISPM

Govern every non-human identity

Service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens and AI agents are often your biggest blind spot. 8Layers gives you full visibility and continuous control, with the same depth as human accounts.

Thor · ITDR

Investigate credential compromise

Correlate login anomalies and behavioral shifts to catch credential compromise and account takeover before attackers reach critical systems. Respond directly from the same screen.

Compass · Compliance

Align identity controls with regulatory compliance

One technical check satisfies requirements across multiple frameworks at once. Map every identity control once, validate continuously, and surface gaps prioritized by risk.

Octagon · ISPM
