Here’s a snapshot of the features that set AD360 apart:
Automating Identity life cycle management
AD360 streamlines identity life cycle management by automating tasks such as account provisioning, modification, deprovisioning, and Active Directory cleanup. This automation not only saves time and improves efficiency but also minimizes errors, ensuring that users are provided with the correct level of access based on the principle of least privilege. By reducing the need for manual intervention, AD360 allows IT administrators to focus on more critical tasks while enhancing overall productivity.
Adaptive multi-factor authentication
AD360 enhances security with advanced MFA capabilities, including passwordless and FIDO2 authentication methods, reducing reliance on vulnerable traditional passwords. Adaptive MFA, otherwise known as risk-based MFA, provides users with authentication factors that adapt each time a user logs in. It takes into account the calculated risk level of the user based on contextual information such as login failures, geolocation, device type, time, and IP address.
Additionally, it supports offline MFA for Windows and macOS machine logins, allowing users to authenticate even without an internet connection. This feature ensures that security is maintained, regardless of connectivity.
Secure password management with SSO and self-service
AD360’s SSO feature allows users to access all their applications from one dashboard with a single login, which reduces the number of passwords they need to remember and lowers the risk of password-related breaches. Coupled with self-service password reset options, users can independently manage their own passwords, reducing the help desk workload and streamlining the user experience.
Just-in-time access
AD360 streamlines user provisioning for enterprise applications in real time using SCIM. When a user logs into an assigned application for the first time, their account is automatically created, eliminating the need for manual setup. For example, if a user is assigned access to Slack via AD360, an account is instantly generated during their first login.
This automation allows users to seamlessly access enterprise apps from the start through secure SSO, without waiting for IT intervention.
Access certification for compliance
AD360 simplifies compliance with its access certification capabilities. This feature allows organizations to set up audit campaigns, during which user permissions are reviewed and certified. This ensures that employees only have the necessary access, helping organizations align with regulatory requirements and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Comprehensive risk assessment and attack surface management
AD360’s Attack Surface Analyzer provides visibility into both on-premises and cloud-based Active Directory (AD) environments, identifying risks and misconfigurations. For example, it identifies vulnerable settings in cloud environments like Azure and AWS as well as potential threats in on-premises servers, allowing organizations to address security weaknesses before they can be exploited.
Proactive insider threat detection with user behavior analytics
AD360’s user behavior analytics (UBA) uses machine learning to analyze user behavior, detecting anomalies that could indicate insider threats or compromised accounts. For instance, if a user suddenly tries to access an unusually large amount of sensitive data or logs in from an unexpected location, UBA identifies this behavior and triggers alerts for immediate review. By continuously monitoring for unusual activity, AD360 prevents potential breaches from escalating.
Out-of-the-box compliance reports
AD360 comes with pre-built compliance reports for mandates like the GDPR, the PCI DSS, SOX, and HIPAA. Real-time auditing allows administrators to track important changes in Active Directory and Azure AD environments. These reports not only help with regular audits, but also ensure organizations stay aligned with regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
Zero Trust and granular access control
AD360 promotes a Zero Trust approach, where access is tightly controlled to minimize risk. Administrators can create detailed roles with specific permissions, ensuring each user only has the access they need. With multi-level approval workflows, every access request is reviewed and approved by designated stakeholders. This granular control allows organizations to prevent over-privileging and maintain tighter security.
These capabilities make AD360 a truly comprehensive IAM platform, blending security, efficiency, and compliance into a seamless experience.
