Identity security is entering a new phase
ITDR is expanding beyond detection to include prevention, containment, and recovery — aligning with frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0. At the same time, cloud adoption, AI initiatives, Zero Trust programs, and M&A are driving identity modernization, creating new exposure when controls break down and attackers exploit change. Quest is leading this shift by unifying ITDR and Microsoft identity modernization.
Measured identity resilience
Quest delivers attack‑tested, measurable identity resilience — not assumptions. Trusted by highly regulated enterprises and built on decades of Microsoft identity expertise, customers achieve a 44% improvement in identity MTTR and up to 90% faster recovery by applying the same security controls across everyday operations and high‑risk change events like modernization, ransomware response, and M&A.
Proactive identity defense
Actively blocks identity‑based attacks at the identity control plane — something incumbent EDR platforms and alert-centric ITDR tools simply can’t do. Tier 0 protections and Shields Up containment freeze changes to crown‑jewel identity assets during an active incident, disrupting persistence and lateral movement to contain compromise, limit blast radius, and deliver a 44% improvement in identity MTTR.
Attack‑tested identity recovery
Delivers automated, attack‑tested identity recovery for Active Directory and Entra ID — not basic restore operations added on to backup platforms. From precise object‑level restores to full forest rebuilds, the Quest Security Management Platform enables up to 90% faster identity recovery after ransomware and advanced identity compromise.
Security‑first modernization
Extends ITDR into identity modernization, migration, and M&A — where identity risk is highest. Delivered on a Microsoft 365‑certified platform, Quest enforces Tier‑0 protection, auditing, and recovery readiness throughout change — so organizations modernize without relaxing controls or sacrificing resilience.

FAQ
Security platforms like Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Tenable are already foundational in most environments, and Quest complements them rather than replacing them.
These platforms focus on endpoint and signal-based detection and response. Quest operates at the identity control plane, delivering deeper AD and Entra ID visibility, active protection for critical identity assets, and identity recovery capabilities that these platforms do not provide. Quest extends ITDR beyond detection into containment and recovery.
Some data protection vendors have recently added identity recovery to their backup platforms, but their capabilities are typically recovery only and limited to basic restore operations. Quest is fundamentally different. We deliver attack tested Active Directory and Entra ID recovery backed by decades of experience, combined with identity protection, detection, and response. While backup vendors stop at restore, Quest secures identity systems before, during, and after an attack — including ransomware resilient recovery that avoids reintroducing malicious changes.
The Quest Security Management Platform eliminates fragmented identity tools that only detect threats or stop at backup. It actively contains identity attacks, reduces blast radius, and delivers fast, trusted recovery.
Just as importantly, Quest maintains security controls during high-risk change events like modernization, migration, and M&A — where traditional tools are often bypassed and identity risk is highest.
Quest enables partners to drive two connected motions from a single platform: Identity Security & Resilience and Secure Migrations, while complementing customers’ existing security stacks. Quest works alongside EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR, MDR, and cloud security platforms, filling critical gaps they don’t cover at the identity control plane. For security‑led engagements, partners differentiate with proactive identity containment and attack‑tested recovery. For change‑driven engagements, partners secure migrations, M&A, and modernization using the same protection and recovery controls. This allows partners to reduce delivery risk, expand into advisory and managed services, and build long‑term, Microsoft‑aligned customer relationships, without stitching together tools.
