Key Features

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): According to the vendor, Authomize continuously monitors for compromised accounts and risky changes in the IAM infrastructure. It is said to be capable of detecting and stopping account takeover and user impersonation attempts, identifying and remediating misconfigurations that allow IAM exploitation, as well as detecting and responding to persistent threats in Cloud IAM.

Privilege Escalation Prevention: Authomize claims to help organizations achieve and maintain Least Privilege across cloud services, applications, and IAM solutions. It is said to be able to eliminate stale access, over-privileges, and privilege escalation paths, as well as detect and remediate weak authentication controls and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) bypass.

Identity and Access Visibility: The vendor states that Authomize offers unified, granular visibility across IaaS, SaaS, and IAM solutions. It claims to prioritize security incidents based on identity and access context, accelerate incident investigations using rich, cross-cloud identity and permission context, and automate remediation and response to enforce Least Privilege.

Automated User Access Reviews: According to the vendor, Authomize allows organizations to set up User Access Review (UAR) campaigns in minutes. It claims to accelerate decision-making with ML-generated recommendations, seamlessly connect to all applications, achieve rapid deployment, and automatically discover and establish review scope based on dynamic grouping.

Continuous Compliance Monitoring: Authomize claims to assist organizations in achieving and maintaining Least Privilege across cloud services, applications, and IAM solutions. It is said to be capable of identifying and eliminating risky misconfigurations and resource exposures, as well as detecting and responding to active threats to the IAM environment.

Account Takeover Detection and Prevention: According to the vendor, Authomize can detect compromised accounts through credential stuffing, brute forcing, and password spraying attacks. It claims to enforce stronger authentication and limited access for compromised accounts, eliminate misconfigurations that facilitate account takeovers, and detect active takeover attempts such as password exfiltration and SWA abuse.

Impersonation Detection and Mitigation: Authomize is said to be able to detect and mitigate account impersonations across applications. According to the vendor, it aims to protect IAM from attackers exploiting trust relationships, prevent privilege escalation, and unauthorized access.
