Axiad Mesh: A New Era in Identity Risk Management

Axiad has unveiled its groundbreaking solution, Axiad Mesh, designed to combat the ever-evolving threats posed by identity-related breaches. As organizations grapple with increasing complexity in their digital environments, this innovative platform offers a cohesive way to manage identity risks, ensuring businesses can proactively address vulnerabilities before they escalate into serious issues.

Understanding the Need for Axiad Mesh

In recent years, the rise of remote work and dependence on Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions have created a perfect storm for identity security breaches. Cybersecurity incidents related to identity breaches have surged, with a staggering 93% of organizations reporting such incidents last year, according to a report by CyberArk. Recognizing this alarming trend, Axiad sought to bridge the gap in identity security, offering businesses a unified solution that empowers them to manage and mitigate risks effectively.

Historically, identity security has often been overlooked, leaving organizations vulnerable to attacks. Axiad Mesh seeks to address this oversight by integrating various identity sources, providing a comprehensive view of potential risks associated with enterprise identities. As Alex Au Yeung, Axiad's Chief Product Officer, states, “Most organizations grapple with the complexity of multiple identities ranging from corporate-managed to personal accounts. Axiad Mesh simplifies this complexity and sheds light on identity risks.”

Key Features of Axiad Mesh

Axiad Mesh offers several features designed to enhance security across enterprise identities:
1. Identity Risk Identification: The platform serves as a connective fabric, linking SaaS solutions and on-premises systems. By leveraging machine-learning technologies, it uncovers hidden identities and provides a unified, actionable view of potential risks.
2. Risk Quantification: Axiad Mesh assigns intuitive risk scores to highlight vulnerabilities, enabling organizations to prioritize their security efforts based on the severity and likelihood of threats.
3. Fortification of Identities: The solution improves the early recognition of complex attack vectors. By implementing established frameworks like MITRE ATTCK®, it enhances identity hygiene and automatically flags issues, facilitating proactive risk management.

These key functionalities empower organizations to anticipate and respond to threats effectively, ensuring a robust security posture.

Seamless Integration and Broader Impact

Recognizing that identity management is a complex task, Axiad Mesh has been designed for easy integration with existing systems, such as Microsoft Entra ID and Workday, amongst others. This means organizations can deploy Axiad Mesh without overhauling their existing identity management infrastructures.

Joanna Burkey, former CISO of HP and Siemens, emphasized the importance of Axiad Mesh in unified identity operations, mentioning that
