## Overview

Andromeda Security is an automated identity and access management platform that uses risk analysis to right-size privileges across cloud environments, covering both human users and non-human identities (NHIs). Founded in 2022 and based in Palo Alto, it sits in the emerging space between cloud infrastructure entitlement management ([CIEM](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-ciem/)) and modern identity governance. It is a young company, so treat it as an early-stage entrant rather than an established platform.

## What it is good at

Its core idea is continuous, risk-based privilege right-sizing: it analyzes how identities actually use access and recommends or automates least-privilege adjustments, instead of relying on static role reviews. Covering humans and [non-human identities](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-non-human-identity/) in one model is useful for cloud-first teams that do not want a separate tool per identity type. Authorization, lifecycle automation, and governance reporting are where it scores best.

## Where it falls short

As a 2022-founded startup it has a limited public reference base and a still-narrow feature footprint. It is not an identity provider, so human authentication, SSO, and MFA are out of scope. It is also not a classic vault-based PAM, so teams needing session brokering and credential vaulting will find gaps. The agentic and NHI category is moving quickly, so expect the roadmap and integrations to keep shifting.

## Pricing

No public pricing. Sold as a quote-based subscription through a sales-led process. Model your real identity counts and connected systems with the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/) before comparing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for cloud security teams that want automated, continuous least-privilege across human and machine access. Look elsewhere if you need a proven platform with broad references, traditional on-prem PAM, or a discovery-and-posture NHI tool like [Astrix Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/astrix-security/) (now part of Cisco and no longer sold standalone) or [Oasis Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/oasis-security/).

## Bottom line

An emerging, automation-first option for right-sizing human and non-human cloud privileges. Promising premise, early track record; pilot before standardizing.
