Description

Defakto Security offers a robust platform that authenticates every automated interaction by providing temporary, verifiable identities to non-human entities like services, pipelines, AI agents, and machines, thereby removing the need for static credentials, API keys, and enduring privileges. Their comprehensive non-human identity and access management solution facilitates the identification of unmanaged identities across diverse environments such as cloud, on-premises, and hybrid settings, the issuance of dynamic identities in real time based on policy specifications, the enforcement of least-privilege access principles, and the generation of complete audit-ready logs. The solution comprises several modules: Ledger, which ensures ongoing discovery and governance of non-human identities; Mint, which automates the creation of purpose-specific, temporary identities; Ship, which enables secretless CI/CD workflows by eliminating hard-coded credentials; Trim, which optimizes access rights and eliminates excessive privileges for service accounts; and Mind, which safeguards AI agents and large language models using the same identity framework employed for workloads. Each module plays a critical role in enhancing security and streamlining identity management across various operational contexts.

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.
