SmartAuth
AI-driven adaptive authentication
โ— Live

Replaces static rule-based authentication with a real-time XGBoost ML risk scoring engine built on ForgeRock AM 7.3. Every login scored in milliseconds โ€” low risk allows, medium triggers step-up MFA, high blocks and fires an audit event to ForgeRock IDM 7.

What it does
โ†’4 custom JavaScript scripted decision nodes in ForgeRock AM 7.3 โ€” collects device fingerprint, browser, OS, IP address, login hour and failed attempts on every login
โ†’Python FastAPI microservice running XGBoost classifier trained on 10,000 synthetic login scenarios โ€” returns risk score in under 50ms
โ†’Adaptive auth tree: low risk โ†’ passwordless, medium โ†’ step-up TOTP MFA, high โ†’ block and alert IDM automatically
โ†’Every risk decision automatically audit logged to ForgeRock IDM 7 as a managed object โ€” full governance trail with userId, score, action, timestamp
โ†’Live React dashboard โ€” reads from IDM REST API every 10 seconds, shows risk distribution bar chart, pie chart and colour-coded auth events table

Why it matters
โ†’First open-source AI-adaptive authentication framework built on ForgeRock AM 7 โ€” nothing publicly available like it exists
โ†’Replaces static rule-based adaptive auth that every enterprise uses today with ML that continuously learns from patterns
โ†’Combines ForgeRock engineering depth with AI/ML โ€” a profile almost no IAM engineer has demonstrated publicly

IdentityGuard
Autonomous NHI intelligence
๐Ÿ”จ Building

Autonomous Non-Human Identity intelligence framework on ForgeRock AM/IDM. Discovers every service account, OAuth2 client, API key and AI agent โ€” profiles behaviour, detects anomalies using Isolation Forest ML, explains every decision in plain English via SHAP values, and auto-remediates with zero human intervention.

The problem
โ†’Every enterprise has 10x more non-human identities than human ones โ€” service accounts, API keys, AI agents โ€” but IAM tools were built for humans
โ†’SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, Uber โ€” all major breaches caused by a compromised non-human identity nobody was watching
โ†’SailPoint, Saviynt and CyberArk charge ยฃ500k+ for partial NHI governance โ€” no open-source working solution exists
Architecture
NHI discoveryโ†’ Behaviour profilerโ†’ Isolation Forestโ†’ SHAP explainabilityโ†’ Autonomous decisionโ†’ IDM remediationโ†’ Live dashboard
What it will do
โ†’4 custom ForgeRock AM scripted nodes โ€” discover, fingerprint and profile every NHI across AM, IDM and DS automatically
โ†’Isolation Forest ML model โ€” learns normal behaviour per NHI and flags deviations in real time without needing labelled attack data
โ†’SHAP values produce plain English explanations: "This service account called 47 new endpoints in 10 minutes โ€” 94% confidence compromised"
โ†’Autonomous IDM remediation โ€” revoke token, rotate credentials, quarantine NHI, alert team โ€” zero human intervention required
โ†’React dashboard โ€” full NHI estate view with risk scores, anomaly timeline, remediation log and explainability panel

Why it is unique
โ†’First open-source framework combining NHI discovery + ML anomaly detection + explainable AI + autonomous remediation in one tool
โ†’Platform agnostic โ€” works with ForgeRock AM/IDM and any OAuth2-based IAM platform
โ†’Targets the fastest-growing IAM spend category โ€” NHI governance is the #1 unsolved problem in enterprise identity security in 2026
