Kleverware

Kleverware, founded in 2005 by Bertrand Augé and Arnaud Fléchard, operates as a specialized software publisher in the Identity and Access Governance (IAG) market. Based in Palaiseau, France, the company established itself by developing solutions for organizations to manage and audit user access rights across complex IT environments. A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by WALLIX, a European cybersecurity software developer, on May 16, 2023. This event was a strategic move for WALLIX to integrate IAG capabilities into its portfolio and expand its footprint in the cloud infrastructure security market.

The firm’s core business revolves around its Kleverware IAG platform, which provides tools for identity and access management governance, audit, and control. The platform is designed to help IT, security, and business supervisors ensure their organizations comply with internal security policies and external regulations. Kleverware serves a client base that includes prominent names in the banking, insurance, and retail sectors, primarily in France, Switzerland, and the Benelux region. Revenue is generated through the sale of its software solutions and associated services, distributed through a network of partners.

The Kleverware IAG solution offers a suite of features aimed at providing a clear and unified view of user entitlements. Its capabilities include the homogenization of data from varied IT systems, mapping of access rights, compliance dashboards, and customized reporting. The platform facilitates operational analysis, role mining, and the management of recertification campaigns through a collaborative web interface. A key selling point is its ability to deliver a lightweight, targeted IAG solution that can be implemented rapidly as a standalone product or integrated with existing Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) or IT Service Management (ITSM) systems. Following the acquisition, the solution is being integrated into WALLIX's PAM4ALL offering to provide clients with enhanced visibility and control over user access in cloud environments.
