How we are different

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organizations are facing increased pressure to protect identities across environments while continuing to meet compliance requirements. One Identity Active Roles’s emphasis on security, automation, and hybrid integration ensures companies can navigate today’s complex identity challenges.

-- Centralized Management: Unlike competitors, Active Roles provides a unified interface to manage all AD domains, and Entra ID (Azure ID) and Microsoft 365 tenants from a single console, offering streamlined identity security and management with unparalleled visibility and efficiency and consistency of policy implementation and enforcement

-- Fine-Grained Delegation and Automation: The combination of fine-grained delegation, role-based access control (RBAC), and automation of processes like user provisioning and group management, eliminate standing privileges and reduce administrative overhead. The resulting least-privilege access decreases the attack surface while streamlining identity lifecycle management – the perfect balance of both security and efficiency.

-- Built-In Compliance and Audit Readiness: Active Roles simplifies compliance with detailed access change logs and activity tracking, helping customers prepare for audits. This provides less emphasis on integrated compliance controls, and more emphasis on providing visibility, detailed reporting, and streamlined remediation.

Active Roles redefines identity management by combining centralized visibility and control, advanced automation, fine-grained delegation and robust group management. With Active Roles, organizations can simplify complexity while reducing risk and providing strong protection in today’s identity environment.
