Netwrix has launched an upgraded version of Netwrix Threat Manager, extending its capabilities to include Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) cloud environments, alongside on-premises Active Directory (AD). The update provides real-time alerts for suspicious activities and automated responses, enhancing protection across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid IT infrastructures.
“Based on our beta testing, the added coverage of Entra ID in Netwrix Threat Manager 3.0 shows the real possibility of safeguarding both our on-premises and cloud environments with a single solution. The product demonstrated the capability to provide greater control and visibility, which we believe could make it easier for organizations like ours to manage data security across hybrid infrastructure,” said a Senior Systems Engineer at a US non-profit testing organization.
The latest Netwrix Threat Manager enhances the protection of sensitive data and empowers customers to:
- Avoid attack escalation by detecting and preventing improper changes in AD and Entra ID, including analysis of abnormal user behavior, modifications to application permissions, changes in sensitive roles like Global Admin, and more.
- Contain security incidents on-premises and in the cloud by automating threat response with account disablement, reset of the affected user’s password, terminating all active sessions of the affected account, and marking the user account as compromised to trigger additional security measures and investigation.
- Minimize data overexposure thanks to more granular role-based access control for reporting and investigations across Active Directory and Entra ID.
“In 2024, 48% of organizations had to make changes to their security posture to meet the criteria of the cyber insurance policy they chose. To help our customers face digital threats with confidence and ensure their eligibility for cyber insurance, we remain focused on delivering strong, consistent security measures across the entire on-premises and cloud infrastructure,” says Michael Tweddle, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix.
