CyberArk has unveiled a new integration between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Microsoft Defender for Identity. The integration gives organisations a unified, comprehensive view of their entire identity security landscape, allowing a quicker, more effective threat response and containment.
Defender for Identity is a cloud-based identity security solution that helps protect customers’ on-premises identities from advanced threats and manage identity risk. Fully integrated with Microsoft Defender XDR, it uses signals across hybrid identity environments and other workloads to help SecOps teams better identify, detect and investigate advanced threats directed at their organisation.
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is a component of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. It provides best-in-class controls to discover, secure and measure privileged access for IT and cloud ops teams migrating, scaling and operating applications in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The integration between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Defender for Identity provides organisations with improved privileged access control and monitoring capabilities alongside streamlined privileged access workflows.
By connecting data from diverse systems, Security Operations Center and Identity teams will benefit from deeper investigative capabilities, including quicker and more effective threat-hunting efforts, more precise attack path identification, and better comprehensive remediation options. These combined capabilities enable greater cyber resilience.
“We continue to provide unparalleled protection for shared customers against identity-centric attacks,” said CyberArk’s Chief Strategy Officer Clarence Hinton. “CyberArk’s privileged access management integration with Defender for Identity allows organisations to maximise their existing investment and simplify their efforts to protect identities across their on-premises and multi-cloud environments.”
