Description

Netwrix Directory Manager is a comprehensive directory management platform that helps organizations automate and control user and group lifecycles. It supports environments such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Google Workspace, and other directory systems. The platform automates provisioning, updating, and deprovisioning of user accounts based on data from HR systems or other sources. It also manages group lifecycles by maintaining accurate memberships through dynamic rules and structured hierarchies. Netwrix Directory Manager enables secure delegation, allowing managers and data owners to handle user and group changes through controlled workflows. This reduces the need for direct administrative access and improves governance. The solution includes self-service features that allow users to reset passwords, update profiles, and manage group memberships. It helps reduce IT workload by automating routine tasks and minimizing help desk tickets. The platform supports multi-directory synchronization to keep user and group data consistent across systems. It also provides audit trails and workflow approvals to maintain accountability and compliance. By combining automation, delegation, and self-service, it helps organizations manage directories more efficiently and securely.

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.
