About

Founded in 2010, Axiad is a cybersecurity company based in San Jose, United States working in identity & access.

Axiad is an identity security company founded by experts in encryption, authentication and credential management. It is known for pioneering PIV and CAC smart cards for government and military networks. Axiad provides cloud-delivered credential management and PKI services that let organizations manage FIDO passkeys, hardware authenticators and X.509 certificates for both users and machines from a single portal. Its Axiad Mesh platform adds identity visibility and risk quantification, helping security teams find orphaned, over-privileged and dormant identities and remediate them. Axiad Confirm provides real-time identity proofing during onboarding and help desk workflows. Axiad's solutions integrate with existing IAM systems rather than requiring replacement, and are used by federal agencies, defense contractors, financial services, insurers, and energy and utility companies. Its Conductor platform is FedRAMP Authorized.
