Quest Anetac

Quest Anetac delivers continuous identity visibility and identity intelligence, revealing identity activity by mapping access chains and observed behavior across human, non-human, and agentic identities before risk becomes exposure. Built for on-premises, cloud, and agentic systems, it delivers actionable insight into identity exposure and risk in days.

Continuous identity visibility and intelligence for the agentic AI era

Identity risk has become the fastest-growing and least visible source of enterprise exposure. Most organizations lack continuous visibility and identity intelligence into who and what has access, how identities interact with critical systems, how access chains propagate, and where risk is emerging across human, non-human, and agentic environments.

Built for complex identity environments spanning on-premises, cloud, and agentic systems, Anetac acts as a dynamic system of record for identity exposure and risk. Traditional tools show what could happen based on how access is configured; Anetac shows what is happening. By continuously mapping access chains and analyzing how identities behave, it reveals how human, non-human, and agentic identities interact with critical assets and where exposure exists, before it can be exploited.

Key Benefits

SVG

See every identity, eliminate blind spots

Gain full visibility across human, non-human, and agentic identities with identity intelligence, closing the gaps that legacy directory and IAM tools leave exposed.
SVG

Find real risk in days, not months

Low-friction, agentless assessment delivers executive-ready insight fast, providing identity intelligence teams can use to act on the most urgent identity exposure immediately.
SVG

Shrink the identity attack surface

Enforce least-privilege access by surfacing excessive privilege, dormant accounts, and toxic access paths before attackers can exploit them.
SVG

Stop privilege misuse before it spreads

Catch anomalous behavior, privilege escalation, and shadow access as they emerge, containing identity-based threats before they move laterally.
SVG

Strengthen your existing security stack

Enrich IAM, PAM, and SIEM tools with continuous identity intelligence, improving security posture and resilience across the environment.
SVG

Accelerate audit and cyber-insurance readiness

Provide provable, continuous evidence of identity exposure and access history to satisfy auditors, regulators, and insurers.

FAQ

Quest Anetac focuses on identity visibility and security posture management, a layer that sits above traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) and governance tools. Where legacy tools deliver periodic snapshots, Anetac provides continuous, real-time streaming visibility across human, non-human, and agentic AI identities. Rather than only answering “Who has access?”, Anetac answers the harder question: “How is access being used and expanding risk right now, and how do we control it?” It acts as a dynamic system of record for identity exposure, built for on-premises, cloud, and agentic environments.

Agentic AI and non-human identities such as service accounts, APIs, tokens, and scripts are proliferating rapidly and now outnumber human identities by as much as 109 to 1. These accounts often inherit persistent privileges with little monitoring, making them the least governed but highest-risk part of the identity surface, and traditional point-in-time tools cannot keep pace. Anetac's continuous streaming visibility and identity intelligence software show what identities are doing in the moment, what they can access, and where the real risk is, linking access chains, behavior, and privilege in real time. This surfaces toxic access paths, privilege misuse, and shadow access before they can be exploited, then moves customers from a fast initial assessment to continuous monitoring for ongoing visibility and control.

Yes. Anetac surfaces identity-related compliance risks that are easy to miss, such as insecure NTLMv1 usage, non-logging servers, dormant privileged accounts, and excessive or standing access. This makes it especially valuable for regulated, compliance-heavy industries that must prove control over identity risk. That said, Anetac delivers value for organizations in any sector, particularly those running hybrid environments still built on Active Directory alongside cloud and agentic systems. By continuously mapping how access is used and delivering identity intelligence, it gives teams provable, up-to-date evidence of identity exposure for auditors, regulators, and cyber-insurance requirements.

Most AD security assessments, including free posture and discovery tools, are point-in-time. They scan for misconfigurations and assign a risk score, but they don't show how vulnerable accounts interact, how access is used, or how risk changes over time, and they don't cover non-human or agentic AI identities. They give you a checklist of individual weaknesses. Anetac exposes the real access chains connecting accounts to each other and to critical assets, so you see actual exposure rather than a list of settings. In short, traditional assessments tell you what is misconfigured; Anetac shows how identities are being used, where access chains lead, and how risk is changing in real time, across human, non-human, and agentic identities, with the same low-friction, no-install entry point.

Yes. Quest plans to integrate Anetac’s capabilities into the Security Management Platform over time, completing the Identify pillar of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Once integrated, customers will have a fast, effective way to see, understand, and reduce identity exposure across human, non-human, and agentic identities, complementing the platform’s current capabilities across Identity Defense, Identity Recovery, and Secure Migration. Today the focus is on giving customers a fast, effective way to see and reduce identity risk through access-chain visibility and real-time behavioral insight, before detection and response are required.
