Description
Your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) holds essential user identities that are critical for maintaining seamless business operations. The corruption of your Active Directory, whether due to harmful actions like cyberattacks and malware or errors such as accidental deletions and misconfigurations, can severely disrupt your business and lead to expensive downtime that may extend for hours, days, or even weeks. To address these challenges, Cayosoft Guardian was developed to simplify the security of hybrid Active Directory by integrating threat detection, monitoring, and recovery into one all-encompassing solution. This tool continuously observes directories and services, enabling you to identify suspicious changes and swiftly revert any unwanted modifications made to both objects and settings. It operates across on-premises AD, hybrid AD, Azure AD, Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and Exchange Online, all managed from Cayosoft Guardian’s singular, cohesive console. With this capability, businesses can enhance their resilience against potential disruptions and maintain operational continuity more effectively.
Description
Quest Identity Defense, previously known as Security Guardian, is a hybrid identity security platform for protecting Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID from identity-based threats. The platform continuously observes human and non-human identities to identify Tier 0 exposures, privileged attack paths, risky configurations, anomalous behavior, and other identity vulnerabilities. Identity posture management compares AD and Entra ID configurations with security best practices and provides guidance for remediating identified weaknesses. Proactive object protection helps prevent critical Tier 0 assets from being improperly changed or compromised rather than relying exclusively on rollback after an incident. Quest's Shields Up functionality and agentic AI defense capabilities can automatically freeze at-risk users or critical objects, contain active threats, and limit attacker lateral movement. Continuous anomaly monitoring and detailed auditing show who changed what, when and where the activity occurred, and the workstation from which a change originated. AI-driven analysis converts identity telemetry into security insights and remediation guidance intended to help teams investigate threats and respond more quickly. A flexible API enables organizations to integrate Identity Defense information with existing security tools and custom workflows, while the platform is also designed to support audit and compliance requirements. Quest Identity Defense covers identity security functions across the Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, and Govern pillars of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and is FedRAMP High authorized.
