The Semperis acquisition of MightyID extends true cyber resilience solutions to complex hybrid identity environments including AD, Entra ID, Okta, and Ping.

Organizations have more choices than ever in cloud identity providers (IdPs). Active Directory (AD) is a constant. But in the cloud, customers choose among various IdPs, including Entra ID, Okta, and Ping. Through acquisitions, consolidations, or migrations, they often end up with two or three cloud identity systems running concurrently. With that flexibility comes increased complexity, challenges in achieving true cyber resilience, and increased security risks.

Semperis is committed to helping customers achieve true cyber resilience with identity-first security and crisis management. To help us achieve our mission, we have acquired MightyID, a proven resilience specialist for Okta and Ping. This expansion increases our coverage of the most important identity systems—AD, Entra ID, Okta, and Ping—allowing us to protect even more of our customers’ hybrid identity deployments before, during, and after cyberattacks.

This strategic move by Semperis is another step in bringing our industry-leading identity resilience and security solutions to the complex web of IdPs, apps, users, devices, and governance solutions that organizations manage. With Semperis, organizations can count on unmatched identity resilience regardless of which cloud providers they choose.


Building on the hybrid AD and Entra ID foundation

Semperis is differentiated from other cyber resilience solutions through our unmatched depth in identity-first security, recovery, and crisis response—especially in real-world hybrid identity deployments. We are known for our ability to deliver hybrid identity protection for Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID—the systems used by 90% of organizations worldwide.

Because identity is the focus for both business productivity and current-generation attacks, CISOs are building resilience for all the components that grant and control access to users, apps, and agents. They recognize that ensuring that any legitimate user or system can authenticate to any app is the first principle of mission continuity.


Managing complex multi-cloud identity environments is challenging

For most companies, keeping the business running starts with on-prem AD. Very few organizations have cloud-only identity systems, and AD is by far the predominant on-prem solution.

But while AD resilience is necessary, it’s not the only consideration. Most customers have a variety of identity solutions that must work in an orchestrated fashion to ensure access. Ensuring access to the web of technology that’s typical in a modern organization requires a complex mix of authentication protocols, including legacy SSO and federation servers that use SAML.

As organizations increasingly embrace hybrid multi-cloud identity environments, the attack surface expands. And because the identity system provides access to all apps and services, on prem or in the cloud, an outage anywhere can become a business crisis everywhere.


Securing real-world identity environments

By bringing MightyID’s solutions for Okta and Ping into the Semperis platform, we’re ensuring that our customers can defend against identity attacks regardless of which combination of cloud providers they choose. Our mission continues to protect hybrid identity systems before, during, and after an attack.

  • Continuous exposure management across hybrid, multi-cloud environments, backed by our expert security threat research team, to prevent sophisticated attacks that move from on-prem identity systems to cloud IdPs
  • Tamperproof change tracking and automated remediation of malicious changes across the hybrid identity environment
  • Flexible, fast recovery of hybrid identity systems, with built-in fault tolerance designed by identity experts who understand what happens to identity systems in real-world attacks
  • Turnkey crisis management to accelerate return to normal business operations following an attack

Our singular focus on true cyber resilience with identity-first security and crisis management requires protecting the identity system throughout the attack lifecycle—including coordinating incident response with our Ready1 platform. This differentiates Semperis from other providers that merely dabble in various aspects of identity resilience.

As the foundation of any business operation, the identity system deserves specialized protection against attacks. With the acquisition of MightyID, we’re looking forward to providing even stronger solutions to help organizations with complex, multi-cloud identity environments reduce cyberattack risk and improve their business resilience.
