Cakewalk is the agentic access management platform for fast-moving companies, combining a granular identity governance and administration (IGA) platform with AI-driven workflows. Cakewalk governs access for both human identities and AI agents: its MCP Gateway routes every AI agent tool call through a runtime policy engine with credential mediation, least-privilege enforcement, and a complete audit trail, while its human access management handles joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, access requests, access reviews, and auto-provisioning via its Agent Cake provisioning agent. The Cakewalk Open API and hosted MCP server let developers manage users, groups, work apps, accesses, requests, and tasks programmatically. Founded in 2022 and backed by Seedcamp, Fly Ventures, and Possible Ventures.
