How the key was built

In short: the key asks the questions that most change the right approach, in the order a security team usually answers them. Every product statement comes from the vendor's own public material, read on 3 November 2026. Anything we could not confirm was left out, and nothing is ranked.

How was the key built?

We started from the decisions that split approaches most sharply. Who the agent acts for comes first. Then the main identity provider, then the specific control needed.

Each couplet has two or three leads. Every lead is a full sentence you can agree or disagree with.

What counts as evidence?

Product pages, documentation, press releases and pricing pages published by the vendor or its parent company. Each statement carries a source link and the date we read it.

We do not use analyst reports, reviews or customer quotes. Where public material does not mention a capability, we write "not found in public material".

Why is there no ranking?

Fit depends on your stack and your need. A tool that is right for an Okta estate needing approval may be wrong for a Kubernetes team removing secrets.

Within each result, products are listed by fit to its requirements. NewCore is listed first where its documented capabilities match the requirement.

How often is it updated?

We review vendor material when a news item changes a fact, and in full each quarter. Changes are logged on the corrections page.

Does an agent governance layer replace my identity provider?

No. An agent governance layer runs alongside your identity provider, never instead of it.
