About the company
Lumos is an IT company specializing in secure management processes, offering SaaS and access management services alongside flexible workflows and spend management solutions. As the industry’s first autonomous identity platform, Lumos ensures that the right users have the right access at the right time. Recognizing that even modern identity governance tools often fail to keep access under control, Lumos introduces the Identity AI Agent, an AI-powered extension or a full AI-Native Identity Governance Platform. Its capabilities include AI-powered Role Mining, where Albus analyzes HRIS data, app assignments, and usage logs to generate clean RBAC and ABAC policies; Agentic Access Reviews, which use peer group analysis and anomaly detection to approve or reject access requests efficiently; and an LLM-based Identity Analyst that allows natural language queries to identify anomalous access, dormant accounts, policy drift, and segregation-of-duties violations—uncovering ten times more risks while streamlining identity governance.
