Delinea, a leading provider of solutions that extend Privileged Access Management, acquires Authomize. Learn More


Authomize

Authomize protects organizations from identity-based cyberattacks with the first Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) Platform, Authomize collects and normalizes data of identities, access privileges, assets, and activities from cloud services, applications, and IAM solutions in order to detect, investigate and respond to identity risks and threats. Customers use Authomize to gain visibility of actual access, achieve least privilege across cloud services and applications, secure their IAM infrastructure, and automate compliance and audit preparations.

Authomize and Microsoft:

Authomize and Microsoft have deep partnership and integrations, Authomize is backed by Microsoft venture arm, M12, and have deep integrations with various MSFT products Integrations for Azure, O365, SharePoint, and GitHub. Microsoft Azure customers can now purchase Authomize’s Cloud Identity and Access Security Platform directly on the Azure Marketplace.

The seamless integration and extension of Microsoft product allows the joint customers to enjoy an extended coverage and Authomize ITDR benefits for Microsoft applications and beyond.

Azure AD:

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. Azure AD enables your employees access external resources, such as Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications. Azure Active Directory also helps them access internal resources like apps on your corporate intranet, and any cloud apps developed for your own organization

Authomize and Azure AD integration:

Authomize and Azure AD has simple to use and deep integration to enable joint customers to enjoy extended visibility and coverage for today’s world distributed cloud identity infrastructure.

The three benefits of the integration:

Achieve Holistic visibility – Extend Azure AD security coverage with Authomize. Authomize is connecting to any application – either existing today or in the future. It digests and normalizes this data across environments. This allows the platform to offer a unified visibility and correlate all identities – either directly originated by an IdP, federated, or managed by another app.

Identity correlation is invaluable to the end user. It allows them to understand the de-facto entitlements of identities. This includes the observability allowing users to understand the overall mechanism by which the entitlement was granted to the user. Finally, identity correlation enables the enforcement of effective security policies, to ensure identities have the right access to the right resources.

Protect all your Cloud Identity Infrastructures – Add security layer on top of Azure AD as well as other Identity Providers.

Security monitoring of IdPs is an essential component for a zero-trust strategy. While IdPs provide the vital management of identities and access across applications, a “trust and verify” approach requires an independent security layer to monitor IdPs. IdP security provides better security observability, posture management, and detection and response capabilities. IdP observability helps the user understand their IdP topography – which IdPs (active and inactive) are connected in their environment, what is the downstream and upstream hierarchy of their IdPs and applications, and what can users do across this hierarchy. Then, the platform can detect any drifts from the right security posture – for example, are there admins enabled without an MFA, are there shadow admins, is there any stale access, or are there any less-secure protocols being used by the IdP for provisioning. Detection and response provide continuous security monitoring, the detection of suspicious or malicious actions, and streamlining their remediation.

Uncover hidden security risks, contextualize, and prioritize identity security risks Authomize can harness compromised accounts and risky user information to its platform, strengthening its overall security value. This information can be used to enrich security incidents context, refine its blast radius analysis, and more. Authomize can also provide invaluable and unique information about risky users, enhancing the overall analysis of risky users. For example, Authomize can share the blast radius of the related identities, what assets they have access to and what actions they can perform on each asset. It can also augment the understand of the incidents these users have been involved with and understand the connections between this user and other identities and users.
