About

Your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) contain vital user identities that are crucial to ensuring your business operates without interruption. Whether from malicious actions, like cyberattacks and malware, or mistakes, like accidental deletions and misconfigurations, corruption of your Active Directory can stop your business in its tracks and cause costly outages that can last hours, days, or even weeks. Cayosoft Guardian was designed to reduce the complexity of hybrid Active Directory security, by combining threat detection, monitoring, and recovery into one comprehensive solution. Cayosoft Guardian continuously monitors directories and services, allowing you to isolate suspect changes and immediately recover unwanted changes made to both objects and settings. This is done across on-premises AD, hybrid AD, Azure AD, Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and Exchange Online, all from Cayosoft Guardian’s single, unified console.

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.
