What happened
Quest Software announced (Sept 16, 2026) a NIST-CSF-aligned expansion adding Identity Insights (built on its Anetac acquisition), Agentic AI Defense (autonomous mid-attack identity isolation), Secure Replay (private preview, AI-assisted malicious-change detection for targeted recovery), Quest Guardian Managed Recovery Services, and Secure Migration threat-signal embedding.
Why it matters
Targets Active Directory/Entra ID identity attack surface expanded by agentic AI, aligning with the proposed Stop Rogue AI Act and addressing the finding that identity threats drive ~90% of cyber incidents.
Applicability
Enterprises running AD/Entra ID with growing agentic AI footprints should evaluate Identity Insights and Agentic AI Defense now; Secure Replay is private preview only.
