[Home](/) 2. Badges For vendors # IDSync badges: earned, verifiable, free IDSync badges are **earned only**. They derive from our published editorial picks and research coverage — the same data that renders on our comparison pages — and every badge can be verified against the live eligibility lists below. **Badges cannot be bought.** Sponsorship buys the separate, clearly-labeled placements described on [/sponsor](/sponsor), never a badge. If we change a pick, eligibility changes with it. ## Featured in the State of AI Agent Identity 2026 For the 28 vendors covered in [IDSync's 2026 landscape report](/reports/state-of-ai-agent-identity-2026). Inclusion was editorial — no vendor paid to appear. The badge links to the report, where readers can verify your coverage. ![Featured in IDSync's State of AI Agent Identity 2026](/badges/idsync-featured-report-2026.svg) Embed code Copy embed Featured in IDSync's State of AI Agent Identity 2026 Eligible vendors (30) - Aembit - Token Security - P0 Security - Clutch Security - Corsha - Defakto (ex-SPIRL) - Keycard - Oak - NewCore - Astrix Security - Oasis Security - Entro Security - Natoma - Teleport - StrongDM - Akeyless - Veza - Permit.io - Cerbos - HashiCorp Vault - Auth0 / Okta - WorkOS - Descope - Stytch - Clerk - Microsoft (Entra Agent ID) - Ping Identity - CyberArk - SailPoint - 1Password ## IDSync Top Pick 2026 For vendors named a pick (best overall, enterprises, startups, developers, or open source) on one of our published [best-of comparisons](/compare).

There is no paid path to any badge, and sponsorship does not confer one. - • Hotlink the SVG from idsync.com (as in the embed code) rather than self-hosting — badges carry the year and we retire or update them when picks change. - • The badge must link to the IDSync page that substantiates it (the embed code does this for you). - • We may ask you to remove a badge if eligibility lapses; the live lists on this page are the source of truth. - • Questions or a missing eligible vendor?
