Ory

Ory is a comprehensive software infrastructure designed to manage identities, permissions, and authentication across various platforms. It provides a secure and modern central identity management solution, supporting features like multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless login, and WebAuthn. Ory's identity management capabilities are built on the open-source Ory Kratos Identity Server, allowing for self-service flows such as registration, login, and account recovery, as well as administrative management of user identities.

The platform also includes Ory OAuth2 & OpenID Connect, which facilitates single sign-on (SSO), delegation, and API access authorization by implementing multiple IETF and OpenID standards. This is supported by the open-source Ory Hydra Federation Server. Additionally, Ory Permissions offers a relationship-based authorization system, enabling fine-grained access control through role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) models, leveraging the open-source Ory Keto Permission Server.

Ory's extensibility is enhanced by Ory Actions, which allow users to define custom business logic and automate system behavior in response to events like user registration or login. This feature supports integration with third-party services such as CRM platforms, payment gateways, and analytics tools. The platform is highly customizable, allowing users to implement their own UI and integrate with various programming languages and frameworks. Ory's architecture is built on cloud-native technologies and open standards, ensuring a low-latency and scalable zero-trust infrastructure.
