Badge is known for an identity platform that avoids storing secret credentials like passwords or tokens, and instead relies on authentication factors, including biometrics, that are directly linked to the end user. CyberArk, meanwhile, offers a well-regarded Identity Security Platform designed to protect human and machine identities across business applications, distributed workforces, and hybrid cloud workloads.

Together, the organizations plan to offer an integrated solution that offers multi-factor authentication across all channels, including new and shared devices, while delivering “next-generation privacy technology” and bringing “phishing-resistant authentication to account recovery workflows,” according to a statement announcing their partnership.

“Badge’s expertise in eliminating stored secrets and removing friction in difficult use cases complements our identity security platform,” explained CyberArk’s Workforce Solutions head Archit Lohokare.
