We are excited to announce that ManageEngine has been awarded the Best Identity and Access Management Vendor of the Year Award for AD360 at the Future Security Awards 2024. This recognition honors individuals, businesses, vendors, distributors, and resellers that have overcome challenges and delivered groundbreaking value through innovative security technologies. This year’s event not only celebrated innovation but also highlighted dedication to excellence in the rapidly changing threat landscape.

The ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity  

Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, and even the most prepared organizations can be caught off guard. As the stakes rise, many are turning to AI and automation to strengthen their defenses. But here’s the key: True security starts with identity. By focusing on identity security first, organizations can better protect their systems from within, ensuring that only the right users have access at the right time and for the right reasons. At ManageEngine, we believe that identity security is the foundation of a solid cybersecurity strategy because without it, all other defenses can fall short.

Enforcing a robust identity security framework with AD360   

Automated identity life cycle management
Imagine your IT team being freed from routine identity tasks. With AD360 automating account provisioning, updates, deprovisioning, and AD cleanups, you save time, eliminate human error, and ensure users have the right access—always in line with the principle of least privilege. This boosts both productivity and security.

Adaptive authentication and MFA
Security starts with smart authentication. AD360 uses adaptive, risk-based authentication powered by identity analytics, detecting unusual behavior and tightening access when necessary. With 20 types of MFA to choose from, including FIDO2, you can add another layer of protection against identity theft and phishing attacks, securing logins and sensitive data.

The Attack Surface Analyzer and identity risk assessments
AD360 is your around-the-clock security guard, scanning on-premises and cloud environments for threats, detecting over 25 common attacks, and offering actionable insights to fix vulnerabilities in AD, Azure, and AWS. Its identity risk assessments provide a full view of your digital landscape, highlighting vulnerabilities before they can be exploited and helping you fortify your defenses.

Real-time auditing and compliance
In today’s threat landscape, being reactive isn’t enough. AD360 offers real-time alerts for ransomware attacks, quickly identifying suspicious activities and helping you respond before damage occurs. Plus, it simplifies compliance with regulations like the GDPR and HIPAA, streamlining audits and ensuring you stay compliant.

UBA and insider threat detection
AD360 doesn’t just watch for external threats; it also monitors internal behavior. Advanced UBA tools detect unusual activities, like odd login times, and raise alerts to help you catch potential insider threats early, preventing bigger issues down the line.

Access certification and RBACs

Managing who has access to what is crucial in maintaining security. With access certification, organizations can regularly review user access rights, ensuring that only the right people have access to sensitive information. This systematic approach simplifies security management, reduces the risk of privilege abuse, and strengthens your overall compliance.

SSO and self-service

User empowerment is at the heart of effective security. AD360 provides secure SSO, allowing users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. It also enables self-service password management. This reduces the burden on IT teams and enhances security, empowering users to navigate their responsibilities with ease.

Prioritize identity security with AD360

As we celebrate this recognition, we’re more committed than ever to giving organizations the tools they need to stay ahead of evolving cyberthreats. But here’s the real difference: With AD360, you’re not just getting a standard security solution. You’re getting a partner that puts identity security first in everything we do, ensuring your data is protected and your defenses are stronger than ever.
