IRVINE, CA – April 30, 2024 –  SecureAuth, a leader in next-generation access management and authentication, has strengthened its innovation and Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) capabilities through the successful acquisition and integration of Cloudentity earlier this year.

This strategic move marks a milestone in SecureAuth’s commitment to delivering category-leading Identity Security solutions and reinforces its position as a CIAM market leader. Cloudentity brings advanced SaaS delivered access management technology, including Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA), Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) use cases, as well as support for key authorization and consent specifications like Financial-grade API (FAPI) 2.0, utilized by Open Finance communities globally.

“With the acquisition of Cloudentity, SecureAuth is positioned to make significant strides in the CIAM market,” said Kelly Wenzel, Chief Operating Officer at SecureAuth. “Cloudentity’s cloud-native deep Identity solution, deployable across various environments within hours, aligns with our vision of delivering seamless identity security without compromising user experience.”

Accelerated Joint Roadmap for Frictionless CIAM Security
Cloudentity’s orchestration and FGA capabilities complements SecureAuth’s suite of Identity Security solutions, helping to facilitate smooth and secure interactions within complex business ecosystems. By integrating SecureAuth’s existing AI/ML Risk Engine and passwordless MFA technologies with Cloudentity’s advanced capabilities, SecureAuth aims to elevate customer experiences while also helping to ensure robust security and compliance, thereby reducing end-user friction.  

Expansion into Open Banking
The acquisition also strengthens SecureAuth’s presence in the rapidly evolving Open Banking landscape. Cloudentity support for FAPI 2.0 aligns with SecureAuth’s commitment to delivering secure authentication, authorization & consent solutions tailored to the needs of financial institutions navigating Open Banking regulations.

Combined Identity Security Expertise
The addition of Cloudentity’s team enhances SecureAuth’s expertise in Identity Security, enabling the company to offer comprehensive solutions across industries. Together, the combined capabilities of SecureAuth and Cloudentity will help drive innovation in Identity Security, delivering digital experiences while upholding the highest standards of security and compliance.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
