Why teams choose Ory Network for IAM software?

Fully-managed IAM software that handles hosting, security patching, and global scale so your team ships features instead of operating identity infrastructure.

  With Ory Network's no-code experience, you are in control of Ory's powerful auth APIs and customizability to create and refine a login experience your users will embrace.

• Optimize with key insights

  Unlock valuable intelligence into user behavior to optimize engagement, re-activate dormant users, and streamline the sign-up processes.

• Privacy protection built-in

  Ensure regulatory compliance (GDPR & CCPA) with intelligent data-homing and regional encryption.

• Lightning fast performance

  Go beyond fast and reduce page load times for your users with Ory's global edge network.

• Scale effortlessly

  Ory Network processes billions of authentications a week. No delays. No disruptions. No worries.

• Set permissions with ease

  Effortlessly define and enforce precise access control using Ory's intuitive and powerful permission language. Ensure security and accountability with detailed audit logs.

The fastest way to deploy enterprise IAM software to any project

Open source software, supercharged. Enterprise-grade features all accessible through our visual console. All that plus hosting, operations, and maintenance, too.

Deploy faster on managed IAM infrastructure

Add social sign-in providers, activate passkeys, grant permissions, and customize your application with flexible UI elements – all from the user-friendly Ory Console with no code editor required. Custom registration flows and advanced permissioning that once took months now roll out in weeks or days, leaving teams more time to build features users actually want. Easily manage users and permissions, tailor your identity schema, configure account emails, support multiple tenants for SaaS applications, and migrate existing userbases with our component-based architecture. Spend less time writing glue code and more time creating value for your users.

Security built-in, SOC 2 & ISO certified

Never compromise on security. The Ory Network protects against common threat vectors with industry-standard cryptography, pwned password detection, and third-party penetration testing. No need to worry about forgetting a patch, leaving a port exposed, or misconfiguring a WAF. Our security experts have taken care of everything. We employ a security-first approach with data locality and multi-region availability, while using only vetted open-source code and maintaining SOC 2 and ISO compliance to ensure the highest standards of data protection and system reliability.

Scale infinitely on a global edge network

With more users comes more opportunity and increased infrastructure demands. Let Ory take care of the infrastructure piece, so teams can focus on what will take business to the next level – like feedback and retention. Our solution offers high availability with low latency through a global edge network that's fully-managed, allowing your business to grow without technical limitations.

Easy control your user experience

Less friction, more conversions. Sign up more users – quicker. Users need to get to an "aha" moment ASAP, so why add complex password requirements to slow them down? With Ory's passkey abilities, users can sign up quickly with TouchID, face recognition and trusted devices – resulting in higher conversion rates and happier customers. Support for FaceID, TouchID, YubiKeys, and other passkeys provides multifactor authentication for added customer trust, while social sign-in providers can be added with just a few clicks. Securely connect all your applications with OAuth2 and OIDC standards.

A comprehensive approach to IAM software

Ory Network covers the full identity and access management surface, from authentication to fine-grained permissions, in one managed service.

Create beautiful user experiences

Own your users’ experience. Design branded, API-first login flows that lift sign-up conversion. Customize forms, emails, and screens without rebuilding your auth stack.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ory Network?

The Ory Network is Ory’s fully managed customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform hosted on Google Cloud Platform. It delivers the exact same core Ory APIs and services developers use in self-hosted deployments, but Ory operates the infrastructure, runs multi-region deployments, and is responsible for scaling, updates and maintenance.

• Runs Ory’s core services (Kratos, Hydra, Keto, Oathkeeper, Polis) as a managed SaaS offering.
• Operates in a multi-region, highly available architecture to reduce latency and improve resiliency.
• Removes the need to provision or operate IAM clusters, letting teams adopt Ory without running their own infrastructure.

Who is the Ory Network for?

Choose the Network if you want production-grade identity as a managed service so your team can focus on product rather than infrastructure. It’s built for organizations that need reliable, enterprise-grade IAM without building and operating the full stack themselves.

What security and compliance controls does the Ory Network provide?

The Network implements a production-grade, managed security posture tailored for identity workloads and designed to meet enterprise compliance requirements. Ory combines continuous operational controls with tenant isolation, encryption, and auditability to support regulated environments.

Is Ory still open source if I use the Ory Network?

Yes. The Ory Network and OEL are commercial offerings built on Ory’s open-source core. The foundational projects remain Apache-2 licensed, and commercial editions add enterprise capabilities on top of that open foundation.

How is the Ory Network delivered and billed?

The Network is offered as a SaaS platform with flexible billing and project/environment management; Ory handles lifecycle operations while customers retain control over application logic and identity configuration.

How do I choose between Ory Open Source, Ory Enterprise, and Ory Network?

The right option depends on your organization’s goals and how much control you want over your infrastructure.
