## Executive Summary

Unixi's browser extension signs employees into the SaaS apps that a company's identity provider cannot reach, generating a fresh credential at each login so no password exists to steal. Once passwords stop existing, the customer reaches those apps only through Unixi, which makes the product hard to remove and puts a startup of a few dozen people in the execution path of every such login, on a protocol with no independent audit in the cited public record. Customers surface as logos on Unixi's homepage, alongside testimonials that name people but no organizations. The pitch also promises to pay for itself by canceling the premiums that SaaS vendors charge for single sign-on, which targets the budget owner as much as the security team.
