About

Akeyless delivers identity security for an era shaped by automation and AI. The cloud-native platform secures machines, AI agents, and human access across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-prem environments. It provides a practical path to secretless, identity-based access through secrets management, certificate lifecycle management and PKI, PAM, and unified governance. Akeyless is built on a cryptography foundation that combines encryption, key management, and Distributed Fragments Cryptography to keep sensitive material under customer control and protected from post-quantum threats. With integrations for cloud IAM, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and MCP-based AI agent workflows, teams can adopt and scale AI agents securely without expanding risk. Akeyless Jarvis™ delivers identity intelligence to surface risky access and strengthen oversight.

About

Quest Identity Defense, formerly Security Guardian, is an agentic AI-powered identity security solution for protecting hybrid Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID environments. The platform continuously monitors human and non-human identities to identify risks, anomalous behavior, privilege exposures, and vulnerabilities involving critical Tier 0 assets. Identity posture management benchmarks AD and Entra ID configurations against industry best practices and provides remediation guidance for discovered security weaknesses. Proactive object protection prevents unauthorized or risky changes to critical objects, while Shields Up and agentic AI capabilities can automatically contain active attacks and block lateral movement. Deep monitoring and human-readable auditing provide information about who changed an identity asset, what was changed, when and where the change occurred, and which workstation was involved.
