Ory is a modern software start-up founded in 2019 with a “user first” culture. With more than 25,000 members around the globe, Ory is the leading open-source, authentication identity management, account registration, login and authorization ecosystem and community in the world. Ory’s flagship “Ory Cloud” which is delivered in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, is a global, scalable and secure platform for managing authorisations across various internet services from Fintech systems to emerging IoT. Ory's ambition is to become the global standard for authentication, authorization, similar to Linux, PostgreSQL, Wordpress or DNS, and, more generally, the way humans and software interact with the internet. We envision that in the future, the majority of new software projects will use Ory to solve authorization and authentication. By gaining such a large foothold in tomorrow's software, we have the potential to change the world, making it a more secure and privacy-preserving place.
