An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Cayosoft provides an identity governance and security automation platform for Microsoft-based enterprise environments, managing the complexity of monitoring, provisioning, protecting and recovering directory objects such as users, groups, access policies, applications, and devices across multiple editions of Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID, Office 365 and more.
Any Windows-based IT shop that provisions employees and application resources likely now finds itself in the midst of an identity crisis in this modern hybrid cloud age. There are dozens of native and third-party tools to manage components of Active Directory, Windows endpoints, single sign on, user access, SharePoint—and even Azure AD has its own separate dashboard.
Whether a change to any AD object or policy is made intentionally or nefariously through a ransomware attack, it could produce disabling knock-on effects on user data and permissions that simply can’t be undone. Cayosoft can let the manager travel back in time to a safe standby version with its data retention capability.
Their self-service control plane customizes role-based and group-based access to a multitude of usage monitoring, user provisioning and collaboration tools for maintaining a secure identity management posture, with quick rollbacks for reversing Active Directory threats and destructive change events. When relevant, tasks and issues can be exported to SIEM, ITSM, task management and HR tools for further automation and resolution.
