# Identity graph tools

> Map identity across SaaS apps — find shadow accounts, dormant access, over-permissioned users.

**Sector**: [Cybersecurity](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/cybersecurity)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Hot — multiple deals per month

## Why now

SaaS sprawl + LLM agent access = identity is the new perimeter. ITDR (identity threat detection) is a budget line for the first time.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with SaaS API integrations (Okta / Google / Microsoft / 50+ tools), graph database libraries, and ITDR rule engines.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Veza-style identity platforms
- Authomize shape
- Open-source IAM graph tools

## What this displaces

An Okta admin and a quarterly audit spreadsheet.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Real budgets, real growth. The moat is the SaaS integration footprint + the threat-detection library. Fund teams shipping 30+ integrations in 90 days.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

CISO + IAM lead.

### Pricing?

Per-identity or per-SaaS-app integrated.

### Moat?

Integration breadth + threat-detection model.
