In the early days, access management meant maintaining static lists of usernames and passwords in directories like Active Directory—a method that served a less interconnected world. However, as digital environments have grown more complex and cyberthreats have evolved, traditional approaches have proven insufficient, leading to the need for continuous, real-time risk evaluation.
Modern solutions now combine technologies such as SSO, adaptive MFA, and policy-driven controls to secure access across both legacy systems and cloud environments. The emergence of Identity as a Service (IDaaS) has further integrated on-premises and cloud-based security measures.
Innovations like passwordless authentication, decentralized identities, and AI-driven automation are redefining access management, allowing systems to adjust security dynamically based on user behavior and risk. Access management today is a proactive, intelligent framework designed to safeguard digital assets in an increasingly unpredictable landscape.
That’s where ManageEngine AD360 comes in. Recognized in the Constellation ShortList™ for Access Management 2025, AD360 delivers a comprehensive, intelligent, and adaptive solution:
Seamless Access with Smarter Authentication
With SSO, employees can access applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace with just one login. Supporting OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, AD360 integrates smoothly with cloud and on-premises systems—reducing password fatigue and security risks. To further strengthen authentication, MFA adds an extra layer of security using biometrics, YubiKey, email verification, and more, adapting dynamically based on risk factors like location, device, and login patterns.
Intelligent identity management and access control
AD360 automates identity life cycle management, ensuring new employees receive the right access on day one—and that access is revoked when they leave. RBAC enforces least privilege, preventing excessive permissions. Conditional access takes it further, adapting security measures based on user context—prompting for MFA, restricting access, or triggering alerts when unusual activity is detected.
Proactive threat detection and risk management
Security threats often come from within. UBA continuously monitors login patterns and access behavior, detecting anomalies that could signal insider threats or compromised accounts. Meanwhile, attack surface analyzer scans Active Directory and cloud environments for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, helping IT teams fix security gaps before they become exploits. Identity risk assessment evaluates AD and Microsoft 365 for weak credentials, permission creep, and stale accounts, providing actionable insights to mitigate risks.
Complete visibility and compliance readiness
At the core of identity security is visibility. AD360’s comprehensive auditing tracks every change across Active Directory, Exchange, and Microsoft 365, ensuring IT teams can quickly detect threats, enforce compliance, and maintain a secure environment.
