Stop stitching together four vendors. CoreLink unifies secrets management, privileged access, identity governance, and behavioral security operations into a single, cloud-native platform with no lock-in.
Each pillar is a production-grade capability, not a checkbox feature — built in Go on a single binary with no vendor dependencies.
AES-256-GCM per-secret data keys protected by six KMS backends — AWS, Azure, GCP, HashiCorp Vault, SafeNet Luna HSM, and Thales HSM. No cloud lock-in, ever.
SSH and RDP with ephemeral Ed25519 certs, TTYRec recording, keystroke-level command intercept, and host key pinning — more secure than key rotation.
Bi-directional sync with Okta, Workday, and Active Directory. JML mover detection, birthright provisioning, and peer group correlation — all automatic.
SimulateGrant checks every access request against active SoD policies before granting. 20 built-in conflict templates, policy-as-code simulation, access review campaigns, micro-certifications, and automated deprovisioning. SailPoint has the history; CoreLink has the depth with the full stack.
30-day statistical baselines with P90 peer group outlier detection by job title and department. Live CrowdStrike OAuth2 + SentinelOne API sync. EPM included.
SHA-256 hash-chained audit log with 216+ event types. SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, NIST, and Zero Trust. Continuous 24h monitoring scheduler.
These are not roadmap promises. Each item is a verified, shipped capability in the production codebase.
CyberArk handles PAM. SailPoint handles IGA. Vault handles secrets. CoreLink handles all three at equal depth — one deployment, one audit log, one access model.
AWS, Azure, GCP, local, SafeNet Luna HSM, and Thales HSM — natively supported, not plugged in. No other SM platform covers this range without custom plugins.
Every one of 216+ event types is chained with SHA-256. If a single record is tampered with, the chain breaks — giving you cryptographic proof of audit integrity that append-only logs cannot provide.
The only identity security platform with a Model Context Protocol server built in. Your AI agents can query, rotate, and audit secrets with the same RBAC controls as human users.
First-class Splunk HEC and Sentinel delivery — not forwarded, not proxied. Plus RFC 5424 syslog (UDP/TCP/TLS) and CEF format. Most PAM/SM platforms ship syslog only.
Air-gapped and no-internet environments are first-class citizens. The transit agent proxies secret requests over a secure tunnel so every app — legacy or cloud-native — works the same way.
SimulateGrant evaluates every access request against active SoD policies before the grant is made — blocking violations at the source. SailPoint detects violations after the fact.
Ephemeral Ed25519 certificates are scoped per session with configurable TTLs, OCSP revocation, and policy-driven extensions. Long-lived SSH keys are the vulnerability — certificates are not.
Track every non-human identity — service accounts, API keys, machine credentials — in a single registry with ownership, expiry, and risk scoring. The A2A agent protocol lets workloads authenticate and retrieve secrets without human intervention.
Identity security incidents and access requests create support tickets inside the same platform — no context-switching to Zendesk or ServiceNow. Canned responses and SLA tracking are built in.
Lightweight operator syncs CoreLink secrets into native Kubernetes Secrets with version tracking and managed-by labels. No controller-runtime dependency — 5.5 MB binary using stdlib only.
Emergency accounts stay sealed until a quorum of approvers unseal them with a code. Every unseal triggers immediate SIEM notification and tamper-evident audit. Auto-reseal after configurable TTL.
Assign tenants to geographic regions with enforcement at the KMS and storage layers. Violations are tracked and auditable — enforce mode blocks, audit mode logs. Built for GDPR and data sovereignty.
Config-driven TCP proxy intercepts connections to CoreLink-managed targets and routes them through authenticated NHI sessions. SSH, RDP, PostgreSQL, MySQL on high ports — no TUN/TAP, no admin privileges.
Scan all permission grants, group memberships, and NHI standing access to discover privileged access with 0-100 risk scores. Critical/High/Medium/Low classification with risk factor breakdown.
Coverage that would require four separate enterprise contracts — in a single CoreLink deployment.
