Credential misuse remains one of the most persistent and exploitable vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, especially for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) tasked with protecting a diverse range of clients and user behaviors. Despite industry awareness, enforcing strong credential hygiene across diverse browser environments remains a significant challenge.
Atakama solves this—directly in the browser—without storing passwords, disrupting users, or adding operational complexity.
MSPs know the risks: weak passwords, reuse, shared credentials, and missing MFA. But enforcement is difficult.
Without centralized oversight, MSPs are left with gaps they can’t see, let alone secure.
Atakama delivers deep visibility into credential behavior through a lightweight browser extension, without storing passwords or disrupting user workflows. It enables MSPs to monitor hygiene and mitigate identity risks at scale.
Key capabilities:
Atakama meets users where risks live: inside the browser.
At the core of Atakama’s credential intelligence engine is the Authentication Capture System (ACS), a proprietary technology that monitors how users authenticate across both traditional and federated login flows.
ACS enables Atakama to:
It works even when no password is typed, because federated risk is still credential risk.
Security and privacy are fundamental. Atakama never stores or transmits credentials in plain text.
This approach aligns with NIST best practices and ensures security even in the event of a breach.
Atakama’s approach is timely, and MSPs don’t have the luxury of waiting for their clients to ask about credentials hygiene. SaaS sprawl has made the browser the new identity layer, and traditional DNS tools don’t monitor identity risk. Atakama helps MSPs shift from reactive protection to proactive risk management.
Atakama’s roadmap includes expanded support for:
This isn’t just about checking password strength—it’s about managing identity risk holistically.
Passwords remain the weak link in modern security. Most tools can’t see them. Some store them. Atakama monitors them securely in real-time at the browser layer.
For MSPs seeking to move beyond “recommended tools” and into genuine credential governance, Atakama provides a scalable, MSP-native solution that offers visibility, control, and protection—all without introducing added complexity or liability.
For MSPs that want to go beyond the checkbox of “password manager recommended” and move into accurate credential intelligence, Atakama is the answer.
Atakama goes beyond simple password checking. It integrates into MSP workflows to provide actionable intelligence, such as:
All of this data can be delivered through PSA ticketing systems or used in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to demonstrate value to clients. These insights help MSPs not only react to threats but also proactively improve their clients’ security posture.
Atakama continues to evolve. New features include support for OAuth flows, enabling the system to detect accounts tied to federated identity providers such as Azure or Google. It also plans to expand its MFA detection capabilities and roll out richer analytics that let MSPs track credential risk across users, roles, and organizations.
This expansion positions Atakama as not just a browser security tool but a credentials intelligence platform. As Brian Cefali summarizes, “We’re just scratching the surface… tracking someone’s risk across multiple applications, password hygiene, and account role management—there’s a great deal of possibility.”
For MSPs looking to move beyond reactive security and into proactive risk management, Atakama delivers a scalable, secure, and insightful approach to credential hygiene. It addresses the realities of MSP workflows, sidesteps the liability of storing passwords, and empowers providers with the data they need to keep their clients safe.
In a world where credentials are the keys to the kingdom, Atakama ensures MSPs hold the lock.
