The Challenge : Half the Puzzle is Still Missing
Our customer told us this week: We fixed identity for our people with SSO and MFA. But our laptops and endpoints are still unmanaged. Lost devices, shared logins, and shadow endpoints make us feel like half the IAM puzzle is missing.”
This is a story we hear often. Enterprises have worked hard to secure user identity — rolling out single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and passwordless options. But what about the devices those users rely on every day?
A compromised laptop, a shared endpoint, or an unmanaged device can undo even the strongest IAM program. The result:
- Lost or stolen devices turn into security risks.
- Shared logins blur accountability and auditability.
- Shadow endpoints operate outside IT’s line of sight.
Without device identity, organizations are left protecting only half of the access equation.
The Solution: Device Identity with BAAR Cloud Directory
At BAAR, we believe identity isn’t complete until both users and devices are secured together. That’s why BAAR Cloud Directory extends identity governance beyond people to include endpoints:
- Every device is tied to a verified user — no more ghost logins or untracked laptops.
- Centralized policy enforcement spans both users and devices, giving IT one console for governance.
- Secure login sessions & auto-deprovisioning ensure that if a user moves or a device is lost, access is revoked instantly.
- Compliance-ready visibility delivers clean audit trails for regulators and security teams.
With BAAR Cloud Directory, organizations close the gap between who is accessing and what they are accessing from.
The Key Takeaway: Why Device Identity with BAAR Cloud Directory Matters
Identity without devices is an unfinished story. By unifying user + device identity, BAAR Cloud Directory delivers outcomes that matter to CISOs, CIOs, and compliance teams alike:
- Every user mapped to every device → No blind spots, no shared logins
- Unified governance → One policy engine across people and endpoints
- Built-in risk reduction → Lost or rogue devices instantly cut off from access
- Audit-ready compliance → Clean, automated visibility for regulators
With BAAR Cloud Directory, enterprises finally complete the IAM puzzle — turning identity from a patchwork into a single source of truth.
