Opal is redefining identity security for modern enterprises. We've all felt the pain of not getting the access we need to do our job - and security teams feel the pain of either being a bottleneck by limiting access or authorizing everyone at the expense of risk. At Opal, we’re removing the tension by making least privilege not only possible but practical. Our product prioritizes consumer-grade simplicity with enterprise scale, reliability, and security. Our customers love our product, and we’re proud to work with amazing companies like ScaleAI, Grammarly, Databricks, and Figma.
