Semperis Identity Resilience Platform

Semperis Identity Resilience Platform helps organizations protect Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, Ping, and hybrid identity systems before, during, and after attacks. Its scope combines posture assessment, identity threat detection and response, recovery and forensics, and incident response and crisis management. The platform covers human and non-human identities, including service accounts, automations, and AI agents. Directory Services Protector monitors directory replication changes, identifies suspicious patterns, detects privilege misuse, and can automatically roll back malicious changes. Active Directory Forest Recovery is described as restoring AD to a trusted environment with immutable storage and post-breach forensics. Integrations include Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk, while Lightning Intelligence can send data to Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot through Azure components. Purple Knight is a community assessment tool with more than 218 security indicators. Semperis states ISO 27001:2013 and SOC 2 Type II certifications. Pricing is on request, and support includes next-business-day responses plus a 24-hour emergency phone line.
