Denver, June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OverWatchID, a Denver-based market leader in cloud-based converged identity security solutions, today released OverWatchID Auto_DiscoveryTM, the company’s new automated asset and user discovery feature. This feature complements the Auto_OrchestratorTM, OverWatchID’s patent-pending technology that automates the onboarding of devices into its PAM system for rapid, frictionless protection against data breaches.
“Too many companies have no idea which assets and users are connected to their networks, which presents both security risk and complexity when deploying countermeasures,” said Cameron Williams, co-founder and CTO of OverWatchID. “Our new auto discovery tool further speeds the deployment of privileged identity security and provides a greater assurance of protection from crippling security breaches.”
OverWatchID Auto_DiscoveryTM empowers enterprise clients with the ability to rapidly discover which assets are connected to a network. The tool performs a network scan on CIDR blocks to create a connected device inventory and scrubs a network’s Active Directory to rapidly identify all privileged user accounts and domain member systems before adding them to OverWatchID’s privileged access management (PAM) engine. Capable of performing up to 2,000 transactions per hour, OverWatchID Auto_Discovery is meeting the rapid deployment needs of major enterprise customers around the country.
“OverWatchID Auto_Orchestrator had already revolutionized the speed at which privileged access management can be deployed by automating the onboarding of all target systems into the PAM platform,” said Williams. “Auto_Discovery helps customers who may not have a complete inventory of their assets at the front end of that process, helping to solve the shadow IT problem.”
