Who Wrote It and What Was Evaluated

The review was published by Cybersecurity Insiders (2026). It examines how Safous combines identity, zero trust and privileged access controls in one platform, and how the model extends into operational technology through Safous Industrial Secure Remote Access (I-SRA). It frames the problem with Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, which it cites as putting third-party involvement in breaches at 30%, double the prior year.

Key Findings

• Vendor governance: built for external parties who are not in the corporate directory, with browser-based access, collaboration links, credential injection and multi-level approvals.
• Consolidation: identity verification, application access, credential handling, session governance and audit evidence run on one platform, so teams can start with one use case and expand.
• Data residency: a customer-deployed Safous AppGateway keeps credentials, session recordings and logs inside the customer's trust boundary, while the cloud handles transit and policy.
• OT extension: Private POPs, Purdue-aligned gateway placement and agentless access, paired with OsecT for discovery and detection.
• Caveat: identity provider federation and SIEM/syslog support are available, but ITSM and asset inventory integration depth varies and should be validated in a proof of concept.
• Verdict: the reviewer concludes that organizations reducing VPN use or governing vendor access should give it “serious evaluation.”

What should buyers validate during evaluation?

The reviewer recommends checking ITSM and asset inventory integration depth during a proof of concept, since that depth varies by environment.
