This is my first week as CEO at Authentik Security, an open source Identity Provider that aims to unify identity needs into a single platform, replacing traditional solutions like Okta and Active Directory. I was impressed by the ease with which I was able to onboard myself as a new user, spin up a local instance, and dive into the application's internals due to the well-documented technology and thoughtful design choices made by Jens, our founder and CTO. Authentik Security is built on top of Python and Django, making it accessible to a broad range of developers, and its open source nature allows for continuous feedback, community contributions, and transparency about security priorities. As CEO, I'm excited to build on this foundation and help pave the way for simple identity management solutions that can be adopted by individuals and large organizations alike.
