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

VBScript, a programming language bundled with Microsoft Internet Explorer, may not be supported by other browsers, so it is advisable to consult your vendor for compatibility. It is recommended to use VBScript 2.0 or a newer version with Agent, as older versions may function but do not support certain desired features. For those looking to download VBScript 2.0 or to find additional resources, both the Microsoft Downloads site and the Microsoft VBScript site are available. By utilizing VBScript (2.0 or later), one can determine whether Microsoft Agent is properly installed by attempting to create the object and checking its existence. The sample code provided illustrates how to verify the Agent control without initiating an automatic download of the control, ensuring a smoother user experience. Properly implementing this verification step can save time and enhance application efficiency.
