Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD (now Entra ID), used by 90 percent of organizations worldwide to authenticate and access critical applications and services, are under sustained attack in the public sector by numerous threat actors because of legacy infrastructure, lack of identity security expertise and limited resources. Semperis is the only cybersecurity platform that protects Active Directory from cyberattacks before, during and after a breach.
“We are excited to be an approved vendor on the new contract awarded by the Texas DIR to Apollo. Attacks on identity systems, and specifically Active Directory, can have devastating results, causing business disruptions, proprietary data loss, and leaving some public sector agencies forced to disconnect systems from their networks for weeks and months,” said Mike DeGaetano, CRO, Semperis.
