How Cloudbrink’s Native Identity Management Simplifies Zero Trust—and Cuts the Complexity of Managing Hybrid Access

Introducing Cloudbrink Identity Services: One Platform. One Console. Total Control.

In the world of hybrid work, where employees, contractors, vendors, and partners all need secure access to critical systems, managing identity is more than a technical challenge—it’s a business imperative. For most organizations, that means stitching together separate identity providers (IdPs), multiple management consoles, and disconnected security platforms.

Cloudbrink is changing that.

As part of our mission to deliver simplicity, security, and speed to the hybrid workforce, we’re proud to introduce Cloudbrink Identity Management Services—a native suite of capabilities built directly into our Personal SASE platform. Now, IT teams can manage user authentication, role assignment, and access policy enforcement all from one console, using one unified policy engine.

Why Identity Belongs Inside the SASE Platform

Traditionally, enterprises manage user identities through third-party IdPs, then integrate those identities into a separate SASE or ZTNA solution. This approach creates silos, operational overhead, and risk:

  • Redundant tools and licensing costs
  • Disjointed user experiences
  • Increased attack surface
  • Inconsistent policies and compliance gaps

Cloudbrink solves this by offering identity services directly within the secure access platform, enabling zero-trust enforcement across both users and devices—without requiring external IdP dependencies.

“It can be overwhelming to manage the growing complexity of hybrid work, AI agents, cloud apps, and third-party users,” said Prakash Mana, CEO of Cloudbrink. “Cloudbrink now allows customers to manage user identity on the same platform they use for access, delivering better security and radically simpler operations.”

What’s Included in Cloudbrink Identity Services?

Cloudbrink’s native identity management suite includes a full range of modern, zero-trust capabilities:

SAML 2.0 Integration

Seamlessly connect with leading IdPs like Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, and Keycloak. Support for group-based access control and multi-factor authentication is built in.

SCIM Support

Synchronize user-to-group mappings from your IdP automatically, reducing the risk of errors and improving visibility.

Local User Collections

Manage internal and external users directly within Cloudbrink. Ideal for managing temporary workers, partners, and contractors without relying on the corporate IdP.

Native OTP Authentication

Authenticate local users securely using Cloudbrink’s built-in one-time password mechanism.

Multi-Group & Nested-Group Logic

Support complex organizational hierarchies. Cloudbrink retrieves and applies policies across all user groups—even nested ones—ensuring consistent access enforcement.

Device Authentication

Grant or restrict access not only by user, but by device—enabling machine-to-machine use cases, secure branch access, or container-based workloads with confidence.

“Cloudbrink’s Identity Services let us securely manage external users like contractors and vendors on our own ZTNA. It's streamlined, secure, and faster than anything we’ve used before.” – [Customer in Asia-Pacific]

Unified Policy. Unified Console. Fewer Headaches.

Most SASE vendors bolt together disparate products, leaving IT with fragmented tools and siloed controls. Cloudbrink takes a different approach. Our identity management engine is built into the same Cloudbrink platform that delivers high-performance ZTNA, personal SD-WAN, and application acceleration. That means:

  • One interface for all users—internal or external
  • One policy engine across all access scenarios
  • One source of truth for compliance, visibility, and control

Even small IT teams can now manage thousands of users—across any location, device, or work model—with ease.

Built for the World’s Most Dynamic Workforces

This release was developed in partnership with WITHX, Cloudbrink’s exclusive partner in South Korea, in response to regional demand for better management of contractors, vendors, and third-party access. “We’re seeing a lot of demand across Asia from organizations that want to unify their ZTNA and identity management,” said KiHwan Lee, WITHX. “Cloudbrink gives them the platform, the security, and the cost efficiency they need—without compromise.”

Security, Simplified

Cloudbrink already delivers LAN-speed performance and industry-leading security with:

  • Mutual TLS 1.3 encryption
  • 8-hour rotating certificates
  • Personal SD-WAN
  • Global FAST Edges

Now, with native identity management, Cloudbrink further reduces risk by eliminating the weak links and human errors introduced by external integration points.

Ready to Simplify Identity for Your Hybrid Workforce?

Cloudbrink Identity Management is available now and included in the Personal SASE platform. Whether you’re managing full-time employees, temporary contractors, or cloud-native AI agents, Cloudbrink gives you the tools, visibility, and control to do it securely—and simply.
