BAAR DECK

BAAR Deck is a secure desktop launcher that enables users to access enterprise applications through seamless X.509 certificate–based authentication, integrating tightly with BAAR-IGA, BAAR-SSO, and BAAR-Sentra XDR. Designed for zero-friction access, BAAR Deck eliminates password-based login flows and provides a unified, compliant, and auditable access experience.
  • Certificate-based authentication using strong X.509 identities
  • Configurable default browser per application
  • Deep integration with BAAR-IGA workflows (ILM + ALM)
  • Push-based MFA and step-up authentication via BAAR
    Authenticator
  • Built-in SSO handover to any standards-based IdP
  • Automatic session validation and risk-adaptive access
  • Full audit trail via BAAR-Sentra XDR
  • Policy-based application visibility for each user/role
  • User launches BAAR Deck on desktop.
  • Deck validates the X.509 certificate stored in the secure key store.
  • Certificate is verified against BAAR-ID PKI and mapped to the user.
  • BAAR Deck displays only the applications permitted by ILM/ALM roles.
  • User opens an app → certificate is handed to the browser.
  • Browser redirects to BAAR-SSO for token issuance.
  • BAAR-Sentra logs and correlates all actions.

BAAR Deck sits between the endpoint and BAAR-ID’s
identity/security layers. It leverages mutual TLS, X.509 certificates,
BAAR-SSO token issuance, and BAAR-Sentra XDR logging to
provide identity-centric zero-trust access.

  • BAAR-IGA: Controls application visibility, entitlements, reviews
  • BAAR-SSO: Issues tokens after certificate + MFA validation
  • BAAR Authenticator: Push-MFA, biometrics, risk scoring
  • BAAR-Sentra XDR: Session monitoring, anomaly detection,
    MITRE mapping
  • PKI / BAAR-CA: Device-bound certificate lifecycle
    management
  • Windows 10/11
  • macOS 13+
  • Linux (Ubuntu / RHEL) – roadmap

Why BAAR Deck?
