Leadership Perspective

Tod Weber, President and General Manager of Quest Software Public Sector, Inc., stated: "There has been a rapid rise in AI-driven threats that is allowing attackers the ability to find unique vulnerabilities, giving them easier access to an organization's crown jewels – and that is the identity layer. With our FedRAMP Class D (High) solution, Quest now gives customers more peace of mind in their identity systems that demand mission-critical assurance."

Platform Capabilities

Quest's Identity Defense and Identity Recovery capabilities are part of the Quest Security Management Platform, the market's first unified, AI-powered platform for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and secure Microsoft identity modernization. Quest Identity Defense helps customers discover identity exposure, prioritize Tier 0 risk, proactively contain threats, and protect critical identity assets. Quest Identity Recovery gives customers a tested path to restore identity trust after ransomware, destructive change, or administrative compromise.

Strategic Integration

The Quest Security Management Platform, soon to be integrated following Quest's acquisition of AI-powered security pioneer Anetac, addresses the challenges that all organizations face in defending critical environments by offering a unified approach to identity security. Adding FedRAMP High certification to two of its products within the platform gives customers a more comprehensive identity security and resilience offering spanning protection, containment, and recovery across hybrid environments.
