Identity has become the primary attack surface as organizations face increasing risk from AI-driven exploitation, credential and ransomware-based attacks. Quest’s achievement of the FedRAMP High offering addresses a critical gap that many regulated industries need, helping organizations detect identity threats, but also protect, contain, and recover identity systems with confidence in high-security environments.

“There has been a rapid rise in AI-driven threats that is allowing attackers the ability to find unique vulnerabilities, giving them easier access to an organization's crown jewels – and that is the identity layer,” said Tod Weber, President and General Manager, Quest Software Public Sector, Inc. “With our FedRAMP Class D (High) solution, Quest now gives customers more peace of mind in their identity systems that demand mission-critical assurance.”

Quest’s Identity Defense and Identity Recovery capabilities are part of the Quest Security Management Platform, the market’s first unified, AI-powered platform for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and secure Microsoft identity modernization. Quest Identity Defense helps customers discover identity exposure, prioritize Tier 0 risk, proactively contain threats, and protect critical identity assets. Quest Identity Recovery gives customers a tested path to restore identity trust after ransomware, destructive change, or administrative compromise.
