Radiant Logic and Badge Enter OEM Agreement to Deliver Cross-Domain, Zero-Trust Access for Humans and AI
Cyber Security / Identity Theft | 5 min read
Radiant Logic, the pioneer of Identity Data Fabric and leader in Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), has announced an OEM agreement with Badge Inc. — the privacy company enabling Identity without Secrets™. Under the agreement, Badge's patented zero-knowledge authentication is embedded directly into the RadiantOne platform, delivering what the companies describe as the first and only solution for cross-domain, zero-trust access for both humans and AI agents across unfederated identity domains.
The Problem: Cross-Domain Identity in a World of AI Agents
Enterprises operating across multiple Active Directory forests, Kerberos realms, and cloud identity providers face one of the most persistent challenges in IT: enabling secure cross-domain access without rearchitecting their directory infrastructure. This problem intensifies during mergers and acquisitions, healthcare system consolidations, and government modernisations, where unfederated domains must coexist for months or years. The emergence of AI agents compounds the challenge further — these entities now browse internal systems, retrieve sensitive records, and act across organisational boundaries with permissions that were rarely designed for non-human identities operating at machine speed.
"Our customers face a fundamental challenge: they need to unify identity across unfederated domains without rearchitecting their directories — and now extending that same level of zero-trust verification and governance to AI agents. By embedding Badge's zero-knowledge authentication into RadiantOne, we give enterprises a single platform that solves cross-domain trust for both humans and agents, while accelerating M&A timelines and reducing identity risk."
— Dr. John Pritchard, Chief Executive Officer, Radiant Logic
Three Integrated Capabilities
The combined RadiantOne platform now delivers three integrated capabilities that address the cross-domain identity problem end to end:
- • Identity Unification and Observability — RadiantOne aggregates and correlates identity data from directories, cloud platforms, databases, and AI systems into a single authoritative view, providing security teams with real-time visibility into all identities — human, machine, and agent — along with continuous risk detection and governance across the full IAM ecosystem
- • Agent Governance and Cryptographic Binding — Badge creates a cryptographic binding to each discovered agent, establishing verifiable identity and appropriately limiting the scope of what each agent can do, delivering runtime identity governance for AI and ensuring agents operate only within defined boundaries
- • Zero-Knowledge Authentication Across Unfederated Domains — Badge's patented on-demand key derivation eliminates stored secrets, passwords, and device-bound credentials. Users and agents enrol once and authenticate across any domain — including unfederated AD forests, Kerberos realms, and identity platforms such as Entra ID, CyberArk, Okta, and Ping — without requiring forest trusts or manual federation. The solution issues X.509 certificates that work across unfederated identity domains, enabling secure cross-domain access from day one of a merger, consolidation, or modernisation
Zero Trust at the Identity Layer Itself
The partnership's central claim is compelling: zero trust applied to the identity layer itself — no stored secrets, no implicit trust, continuous verification. By combining Radiant Logic's identity unification with Badge's passwordless, deviceless authentication, every identity — human, machine, or agent — is discovered, verified, and governed end to end. The combined solution is available as part of RadiantOne in both SaaS and on-premises deployments. Radiant Logic is trusted by one-third of the Fortune 100 and 60% of US Federal Cabinet Agencies. Badge's customers and partners span healthcare, banking, retail, and services. More information is available at badgeinc.com/badge-radiant-partnership.
Key Takeaways
- • Radiant Logic and Badge Inc. have entered an OEM agreement embedding Badge's patented zero-knowledge authentication directly into the RadiantOne platform — delivering the first solution for cross-domain, zero-trust access for both humans and AI agents.
- • The combined platform addresses three challenges simultaneously: identity unification and observability, AI agent governance with cryptographic binding, and zero-knowledge authentication across unfederated domains without rearchitecting directories.
- • Badge's on-demand key derivation eliminates stored secrets, passwords, and device-bound credentials — enabling enrol-once, authenticate-anywhere across Entra ID, CyberArk, Okta, Ping, AD forests, and Kerberos realms with no forest trusts required.
- • The solution targets M&A, healthcare consolidations, and government modernisations — where unfederated identity domains must coexist and AI agents increasingly operate alongside human users.
- • Available now in SaaS and on-premises deployments. Radiant Logic is trusted by one-third of the Fortune 100 and 60% of US Federal Cabinet Agencies.
