Quest Introduces Identity Security and Ransomware Recovery Advancements to Disrupt Emerging Threats and Mitigate Attacks


Quest Software, a global leader in AI-powered cybersecurity, data management, and migration, is offering the next iteration of Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and disaster recovery to challenge outdated models and set new standards for proactive defense and rapid recovery.

As part of its unified identity cloud platform, Quest has developed two powerful market-first solutions: Security Guardian Shields Up and Disaster Recovery for Identity.

As identity-based attacks continue to escalate, organizations need more than just warnings. According to the company, Quest is redefining ITDR and disaster recovery standards by moving beyond detection and alerts, ensuring organizations can respond, disrupt, and recover faster than ever before.

Security Guardian Shields Up allows customers to temporarily freeze all changes to Tier 0 objects, disrupting attacks against Active Directory that involve lateral movement and persistence. Meanwhile, Disaster Recovery for Identity eliminates the risks of traditional backup processes by enabling instant, secure AD restoration—anytime, anywhere—even after a full-scale ransomware attack.

"The future of identity security isn’t just about knowing when an attack happens—it’s about stopping it in real time and recovering without disruption," said John Hernandez, president and general manager at Quest Software. "With Security Guardian delivering proactive protection and response and Disaster Recovery for Identity ensuring rapid restoration, Quest is redefining what effective ITDR looks like."

By prioritizing the most exploitable vulnerabilities and critical identity configurations, Quest streamlines security operations, enabling organizations to modernize identity management, prevent breaches, detect threats, respond rapidly, and recover efficiently.

The Quest unified identity cloud platform has migrated 100 petabytes of data to date, backed up over 37 billion Entra ID objects over a 12-month period, and helped customers reduce their identity attack surface by over 99%.

Quest simplifies identity security by equipping operators with better tools and resources, improving effectiveness while reducing the need for extensive training, the company said.
