Thanks. The ideal end game is for the Cybersecurity Fabric to become a de-facto standard for best practice security inside the biggest platforms in the world (Entra, Okta, AWS, Google etc). So individuals can login with Tide (i.e. with their own authority). The protectionism only works until one plucky provider decides to use an open standard and starts winning business from the others... But let's assume that's years down the track, if we're right about that.

For now we're quite happy to provide an alternative for platform developers not bound to the big end of town.

The TideCloak (Keycloak) component does provide for options like federating or synchronizing with other IAMs in greyfield enterprise environments, to stage the integration.

Is the Cybersecurity Fabric an open standard? I didn't see any licenses in the Github repository. Is Tidecloak just an implementation of an open protocol? Or is it entirely proprietary?

Tricky question, because the answer to this will evolve in time (as planned). First, thanks for pointing out the license issue on Github. We'll fix that right away. The Cybersecurity Fabric operates based on the Tide Protocol: our WIP open standard. TideCloak is exactly that: just an implementation of that protocol on a Keycloak IAM. The protocol is "source available" but "commercially restricted" - similar to the BSL modus operandi. It'll take us some time to properly document that protocol to a level adequate for release - but in the meantime, we'll provide office hours and direct interactions with the community to share that knowledge.
