Quest Software has announced that its Quest Identity Defense and Quest Identity Recovery solutions for Microsoft Entra ID are now available through a FedRAMP High authorized offering in Microsoft Azure Government. The solution provides federal agencies, defense contractors, and regulated organizations with a secure, high-assurance platform to detect identity threats and recover hybrid Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID environments.
Identity has become the primary attack surface, and organizations face increasing risk from credential-based attacks, ransomware, and AI-driven exploitation. 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.
“Zero Trust depends on identity, but that trust breaks down if identity systems themselves are compromised,” said Tod Weber, President and General Manager, Quest Software Public Sector, Inc. “With a FedRAMP High authorized path, Quest now gives customers a path to protect and recover the hybrid identity control plane, allowing these regulated organizations the ability to identify critical assets before compromise, and restore trust quickly when identity integrity is at risk. That Zero Trust framework we provide — without compromise — gives confidence to organizations that need government-grade assurance.”
“While FedRAMP High is essential for federal agencies, it is increasingly recognized as a commercial trust signal for organizations with high-risk profiles and regulatory exposure,” said Edwin Vargas, Managing Director, Americas – AI Business Solutions and Security Partnerships, Microsoft. “Quest is setting a new bar for identity security by combining government-grade cloud assurance, deep identity system integration across Active Directory and Entra ID, and proven recovery capabilities designed for real-world attack scenarios. We’re thrilled that Quest Identity Defense and Quest Identity Recovery for Entra ID are now available through a FedRAMP High authorized offering in Microsoft Azure Government, with marketplace access delivered through an approved FedRAMP partner listing.”
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.
