Rezonate launches identity security platform for mid-market firms

Thu, 29th Aug 2024

Rezonate has announced the launch of a new identity security solution targeted specifically at mid-market companies.

The all-in-one platform aims to provide these organisations with stronger security and compliance postures by delivering a unified view of identities, access pathways, security configurations, and more.

Mid-market businesses have often found themselves underserved by traditional identity security solutions due to high costs and increasing complexities. These organisations face mounting challenges as user and machine accounts rapidly multiply, leaving them vulnerable to identity-based attacks and compliance issues. Roy Akerman, the CEO and co-founder of Rezonate, commented on the situation: "Mid-market organisations are the backbone of innovation, expanding their tech stacks at an accelerated pace, yet they're often underserved by traditional security solutions that are either too costly or too complex to implement."

Rezonate's comprehensive platform seeks to address these challenges by providing continuous monitoring and automated remediation capabilities. The platform supports security and Identity and Access Management (IAM) teams by offering a more accessible approach designed for a faster time-to-value. According to Rezonate, their solution can help organisations uncover shadow IAM, high-risk identities, and misconfigurations that require immediate attention.

Akerman stated that the platform is tailored to empower smaller security and IAM teams. "We're redefining identity security, making advanced capabilities accessible to even the least experienced and budget-constrained teams. Our platform empowers smaller security and IAM teams to operate with incredible visibility and speed while leveraging the practices of a larger enterprise in a much simpler, streamlined way," he said.

The platform offers a number of features designed to streamline compliance and enhance security measures. These include real-time identity threat detection and response (ITDR) modules, and actionability modules that facilitate streamlined compliance. Additionally, Rezonate's platform allows for the automation of access reviews, micro-certifications, and risk-enabled remediations.

Michael Myint, Vice President of Information Security at COTA Healthcare, praised the solution's effectiveness. "Rezonate has helped COTA tackle the critical identity risk landscape. The easy-to-follow visual mappings and per-identity risk ratings enable us to clearly see each identity's reach and allow us to focus our identity posture and compliance efforts," he stated.

"Since deployment this year, we have been able to streamline efforts to effectively review and update access privileges and entitlements across our cloud infrastructure and SaaS apps. Rezonate makes it easier for us to be proactive regarding security and compliance, staying one step ahead of attackers and meeting auditor expectations," Myint said.

As organisations expand their human and machine identities across complex environments like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure, having a security solution that can keep pace with these demands has become critical. Rezonate's mid-market offering aims to integrate seamlessly with leading identity providers such as Okta Workforce Identity Cloud, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Entra ID, as well as other essential SaaS applications. This integration ensures a comprehensive approach to identity security across the entire digital ecosystem.

Rezonate's platform includes several key features, chief among them is the "Single Pane of Glass" view into the identity fabric. This feature, known as the Identity Storyline, connects the dots across all identities, delivering in-depth insights into effective privileges, entitlements, activities, and risk profiles. Additionally, the platform offers continuous monitoring and automated remediation, addressing shadow IAM and high-risk identities promptly.

The solution is now available to mid-market organisations seeking to improve their security and compliance postures effectively. According to Rezonate, the licensing model for the platform is based on the number of identities per year, offering predictability and cost-effectiveness for growing businesses.
