Andromeda Security

Overview

Andromeda Security is an automated identity and access management platform that uses risk analysis to right-size privileges across cloud environments, covering both human users and non-human identities (NHIs). Founded in 2022 and based in Palo Alto, it sits in the emerging space between cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) and modern identity governance. It is a young company, so treat it as an early-stage entrant rather than an established platform.

What it is good at

Its core idea is continuous, risk-based privilege right-sizing: it analyzes how identities actually use access and recommends or automates least-privilege adjustments, instead of relying on static role reviews. Covering humans and non-human identities in one model is useful for cloud-first teams that do not want a separate tool per identity type. Authorization, lifecycle automation, and governance reporting are where it scores best.

Where it falls short

As a 2022-founded startup it has a limited public reference base and a still-narrow feature footprint. It is not an identity provider, so human authentication, SSO, and MFA are out of scope. It is also not a classic vault-based PAM, so teams needing session brokering and credential vaulting will find gaps. The agentic and NHI category is moving quickly, so expect the roadmap and integrations to keep shifting.

Pricing

No public pricing. Sold as a quote-based subscription through a sales-led process. Model your real identity counts and connected systems with the TCO calculator before comparing.

Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for cloud security teams that want automated, continuous least-privilege across human and machine access. Look elsewhere if you need a proven platform with broad references, traditional on-prem PAM, or a discovery-and-posture NHI tool like Astrix Security or Oasis Security.

Bottom line

An emerging, automation-first option for right-sizing human and non-human cloud privileges. Promising premise, early track record; pilot before standardizing.
