Welcome to Galeo

Galeo is an Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform. It gives organizations a single place to manage who exists in the workforce, how they prove their identity, what they are allowed to do, and how access is requested, approved, and reviewed over time.

Galeo is available in two editions:

• Identity Platform is single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, federation, the user directory, and the application catalog.
• Identity Governance is a superset of the Identity Platform. It adds authorization, access requests and approvals, and lifecycle automation.

If you are new to Galeo, the What is Galeo page is the right starting point.
