Quest Software, a global leader in data management, cybersecurity, and platform modernization, is releasing the Quest Security Management Platform—a unified, AI-powered platform for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and secure Microsoft identity modernization.
According to the company, the Quest Security Management Platform unifies identity threat detection, recovery, and secure migration into a single platform, and includes new innovative identity security and resilience capabilities, providing organizations with AI-driven visibility into non-human identities and always-ready disaster recovery capabilities.
This unified approach addresses a rapidly changing threat landscape driven by AI adoption, non-human identity growth, and hybrid infrastructure expansion.
Now organizations have a single platform to manage risk from AI agents, protect hybrid Microsoft identities from AI-led attacks, recover quickly from incidents, and modernize legacy Microsoft identity systems without increasing exposure, Quest said.
“AI fundamentally threatens the identity landscape at a level never before seen, and one thing is clear—identity security must include rapid recovery, not just detection and response,” said Michael Laudon, chief product and technology officer at Quest Software. “The Quest Security Management Platform delivers solutions that address how identity risk actually occurs within organizations—across daily operations, active attacks, and during high-risk moments of change such as AI adoption amid migration and modernization. By unifying our industry-leading solutions into one modern platform, customers no longer need multiple solutions to protect their most important assets.”
The Quest Security Management Platform features two new capabilities that extend Microsoft identity protection and recovery via Quest Identity Defense and Quest Identity Recovery, giving customers ongoing security, resilience, and recovery in one solution.
- Quest Identity Defense: An AI-powered, hybrid Active Directory and Entra ID security solution that continuously identifies identity risk, blocks unauthorized changes to critical Tier 0 assets and instantly contains attacks.
- Quest Identity Recovery: A hybrid Active Directory and Entra ID recovery solution that rapidly restores identity services faster after ransomware attacks and now features Standby Active Directory Forest provisioning.
Quest’s new platform also includes On Demand Migration, which is a Microsoft 365 certified tenant-to-tenant migration solution that secures and simplifies consolidation of Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, as well as Active Directory and Entra ID.
By unifying prevention, detection, response, recovery, and modernization on a single platform, Quest aligns with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, and Gartner recommendations. This approach removes reliance on fragmented tools, giving organizations a clear path to managing identity risk in the real world.
The Quest Security Management Platform organizes its capabilities into two solutions designed to simplify how organizations secure, recover, and modernize their environments.
- Quest Secure Migration: An end-to-end solution that modernizes identities, devices, tenants, and workloads with a security-first approach, reducing exposure during critical business operations.
- Quest Identity Security and Resilience: A complete ITDR solution, controlling the full identity attack lifecycle, improving time to response, minimizing downtime, and reducing risk.
Quest Software’s new unified Security Management Platform builds on Quest’s experience defending the most critical identity assets across Active Directory and Entra ID, the company said.
