Specops Leading Provider of Identity and Access Management, made in Europe


Specops is the Identity and Access Management (IAM) division of Outpost24, a leading global provider of cybersecurity solutions.

We deliver password security and authentication solutions that protect organizations from identity-based attacks. In 2025, our parent company, Outpost24, acquired Infinipoint, a specialist in zero-trust security, adding capabilities in device identity, posture validation, and secure workforce access.

Our comprehensive portfolio protects business data by blocking weak passwords and enforcing secure user and device authentication. Natively integrated with Active Directory and Entra ID, our solutions ensure sensitive data remains under your control, whether on-premise or in the cloud.

By combining robust identity management with Zero Trust access control, we secure workforce across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile platforms.
