## Auth0 Identity Platform Overview

### What it does

Auth0 Identity Platform is a developer-centric customer identity and access management solution purpose-built for teams creating customer-facing applications. Unlike workforce IAM tools, Auth0 specializes in CIAM with features designed for consumer-scale authentication including social login, passwordless authentication, and progressive enrollment. The platform's API-first architecture and extensive SDK support enable developers to implement enterprise-grade identity features without sacrificing user experience or engineering velocity.

### How it works

The platform operates through Universal Login for hosted authentication experiences and Auth0 Actions for serverless extensibility. Actions provide a drag-and-drop workflow editor where developers can inject custom JavaScript logic at authentication points using 2 million NPM modules. Auth0 Marketplace offers 100+ pre-built integrations for identity verification, consent management, log streaming, and security services. The Active Directory connector bridges on-premise directories with cloud authentication. WebAuthn support enables passwordless login with biometric authentication through progressive enrollment that lets users adopt passwordless authentication one device at a time without centralized configuration.

### Credentials and traction

Auth0 maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications, alongside ISO 27018, HIPAA, and CSA STAR. Okta was named an Overall Leader in the 2024 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Customer Identity and Access Management, and a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management for the ninth consecutive year. The platform serves organizations ranging from startups to global enterprises across financial services, healthcare, retail, and technology.
