Security & Identity
In the Aether Platform, Identity is more than just login credentials. It is the core security perimeter that defines “Who” is doing “What” from “Where,” serving as the foundation for all services.
Why Identity First?
Traditional perimeter security (VPNs and firewalls) cannot protect modern, complex cloud development environments. Aether is built on the philosophy that “Identity is the new Perimeter.” We provide a unified identity foundation that spans networking, applications, and auditing.
Key Capabilities
1. Built-in IdP (Integrated Identity)
While federating with external IdPs (Okta/Azure AD), we provide granular permission management tailored for the development lifecycle, including native SCIM support.
2. Audit & Logs (Unified Audit)
Records all operations and provides AI-driven anomaly detection and automatic blocking. This is the crucial observation layer for the OODA security loop.

3. Workload Identity (SPIFFE)
Enables passwordless inter-service authentication. Certificates (SVIDs) are automatically distributed to all workloads, allowing for secure mutual authentication.
