Senior QA Automation Engineer

Axiad is an identity security company tackling the critical threats posed by compromised credentials, which account for over 70% of enterprise breaches.  As human and non-human identities multiply across disparate systems, traditional IAM tools fall short, leaving organizations with fragmented visibility and significant security gaps.

Axiad bridges this divide by uncovering hidden identity risks and credential vulnerabilities, providing actionable insights to strengthen security—without requiring a complete system overhaul.  Our solutions integrate seamlessly with existing IAM infrastructures, enabling organizations to shrink their attack surface and adopt phishing-resistant, strong authentication methods.

At Axiad, we make identity security simple, effective, and real for a passwordless, more secure world.  Discover more at axiad.com or follow us on LinkedIn.
