The founding story of Descope is a testament to innovation through experience, spearheaded by eight co-founders sharing a common bond. The founding team worked together for decades, eventually joining forces to create Demisto, a leader in SOAR that was acquired for $560 million by Palo Alto Networks in 2019. At each company, these fellow founders built authorization and user management systems in-house, living through the pain of maintaining and scaling these systems as the companies grew. Considering their next collective venture, they launched Descope in 2022, a drag-and-drop CIAM platform that solves this problem by liberating developers from the complexities of authentication systems.
Backed by $53 million in Seed capital, Descope is designed for seamless integration with a no/low code approach that helps organizations add authentication, access control, MFA, SSO, and federation to their apps:
- Workflow-based Approach: Makes modifying user journeys simple.
- Passwordless Authentication: For improved user onboarding.
- Strong MFA and Step-up Auth: Enhances overall protection.
- Unify Identities: Across customer-facing apps with ease.
The founders of Descope are not just redefining authentication protocols but shaping the future of digital applications, ensuring user data remains protected through advanced, user-friendly solutions.Their commitment has attracted hundreds of organizations, enhancing user experiences while bolstering security.For a deeper dive into Descope's innovative approach, check out the video from co-founders Slavik Markovich and Rishi Bhargava below, or connect with the experienced team directly on Sagetap.
