ObserveID

Companies are increasingly moving to a modern hybrid and multicloud architecture and adopting a remote workforce, creating security access and identity management complexities. This, along with unique challenges in enforcing principles of least privileged access is creating new issues for businesses that must be solved. Identity and access are siloed and fragmented, without an easy way to understand user behavior and cybersecurity risk, along with the inability to automate the changes required to quickly mitigate these risks. This poses serious threats to companies, and often results in expensive mitigation activities and reputational harm. In 2020, Gartner added a new category to its “Identity and Access Management Technologies Hype Cycle” called Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). CIEM, along with Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), represents a growing void in the marketplace that companies have been struggling to address. Companies are burdened with multiple software solutions and complex integrations to address their CIEM and CSPM requirements. ObserveID was created to provide a single, comprehensive, solution that can be deployed across on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments. ObserveID is a cutting-edge, feature-rich identity intelligence, automation, and compliance software platform. It enables organizations to analyze user behavior proactively in real-time, derive intelligence, and automate security access changes required for mitigating security in hybrid and multicloud architectures. ObseveID can work independently as a standalone platform, or as a complement to any leading software already in place. Its fully customizable dashboard allows users to easily monitor identity behavior, access patterns and security risk, and automate access decisions seamlessly across multiple cloud service providers. ObserveID can be integrated with any cloud provider on the market, and across an unlimited number of clouds simultaneously.
