# 2025-08-01: CE - Keycloak Integration

## Overview

We are now able to integrate Keycloak, an open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution, into our system. This integration enhances security, streamlines user access, and reduces development complexity - all while supporting enterprise-grade authentication standards.
