tenfold Introduces Real-time Identity Telemetry for Proactive Threat Detection

Shift to Proactive Identity Security

tenfold has introduced a new event auditing platform designed to provide real-time insight into identity events. This development addresses the increasing sophistication of cybersecurity threats and the growing attack surface from cloud applications and external accounts. The company states that traditional Identity Governance, focused on role-based access and periodic reviews, is no longer sufficient for modern enterprise security.

Real-time Monitoring for Breaches

The new platform emphasizes the need for real-time monitoring to detect when security policies are being violated. While Identity Governance remains essential for setting access boundaries, tenfold argues that knowing when these rules are broken is crucial for preventing breaches. The platform aims to transform identity security from passive risk reduction to proactive defense by allowing investigation of potential breaches as they occur.

Centralized Event Auditing

The tenfold platform ingests event logs in real time, specifically from sources like Windows and Active Directory. It records specific event types for monitoring in its own database, providing relevance and context to the vast amount of event data. This approach is intended to help administrators identify active threats more effectively by filtering and analyzing log data.
