Securing identities and devices with Microsoft and Quest

Hi, I'm Priscyla Laham. I'm the America's ISV VP for Microsoft. I'm here today with John Hernandez, President and GM of Quest. So my first question to you, we have a fantastic partnership and I love the Security Guardian launch. So I would love to listen more from you and how we can better together work on that and selling together. Microsoft and Quest working together to help customers get to Azure and Entra ID in the Cloud is a big opportunity that we're working together, as you know, to help customers move at pace to those environments. And so one key ingredient that Quest is bringing into the Microsoft ecosystem is the ability to move those customers' devices, identities at pace into the Cloud seamlessly so that they can take advantage of the robustness of Azure, but also, all of the Entra ID capabilities for authentication and identity protection within that. So first big place that we see our teams working together and helping customers get there. The second piece is what you referred to as security guardian, and this is really the exciting space that we're focused on together, as you know. With Copilot launching out into the marketplace for security and really focusing in those areas there, it's an exciting time tied in with our platform called Security Guardian. And security guardian looks at all tier zero objects across the entire enterprise and making sure that they're certified and authenticated so there's not a bad hacker or somebody coming in to hold that corporation for ransom. But also taking a look at how we use Copilot and Sentinel to raise that awareness and insight to make predictions and suggestions on how we collectively help customers through that. So it's as simple as like distilling it down to, what's happening? Are we getting attacked? Is there an event that's happening in our environment? Are we exposed? Maybe it's just an event that's just a normal day in the office. These SOC environments get thousands and thousands of these alerts. It's us together working between Copilot and Security Guardian to identify, am I exposed? And if we are, what do we do about it? Simple. One, two, three. Am I getting attacked? Is it something that's important? And if so, what do I do about it? And that's the power of Quest and Microsoft coming to market.
