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.

Description

Quest Identity Recovery, previously called On Demand Recovery, is a SaaS-based backup and recovery solution for protecting Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 identity environments. It is designed to extend an organization's on-premises Active Directory recovery strategy into cloud and hybrid identity infrastructure. Identity Recovery backs up Entra ID users, groups, attributes, policies, and other identity information, including objects and attributes that exist only in the cloud. Protected information can include roles, licenses, MFA data, group memberships, application attributes, users, applications, and devices. Difference reporting compares backups against live Active Directory and Entra ID environments to help administrators identify unwanted modifications, deletions, and other potentially harmful changes. Administrators can search for modified or deleted identity objects and selectively restore individual users, attributes, or cloud-only items rather than performing an unnecessarily broad recovery. Bulk recovery capabilities allow multiple Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 objects to be restored simultaneously without requiring PowerShell. The platform provides a centralized hybrid recovery dashboard that integrates with Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory to coordinate recovery across on-premises and cloud directories. These capabilities can help organizations restore access following accidental deletions, malicious changes, identity incidents, and cloud disruptions while reducing downtime and user impact.
