Strata Identity
announced the launch of Maverics Identity Discovery, a free software
tool that automates the manual process of auditing and cataloging
on-premises identity environments, to reduce cloud migration project
times from months to hours.
According to the recent State of Multi-Cloud Identity Report 2021,
70% of organizations said they have an active cloud migration project
planned this year since most on-premises identity systems are nearing
end-of-life and will no longer be supported in 2022.
Discovery
and cataloging of a legacy identity system is necessary before the
start of any migration project. It is an extremely manual process
because there is no unified view of older environments that span
multiple stakeholders, have evolved over years, and contain hidden
complexities. As a result, identity administrators must not only
identify each app but also interview and gain buy-in from each
application owner - a process that often takes many months to complete
at high-dollar and opportunity costs.
Complete Visibility in 10 Minutes or Less
Maverics
Identity Discovery is a free, lightweight command line tool and browser
interface that extracts, analyzes, and visualizes the information in an
enterprise identity environment in minutes. Since it is locally run and
hosted, all information gathered remains private to the organization
using it. For prioritization planning, Maverics Identity Discovery also
generates a complexity score for each app that measures the effort that
will be required for migration based on interdependencies and factors
including number of rules, responses, headers, and custom code.
"Several
factors are driving the migration of on-premises identity systems and
apps to the cloud, including end-of-life deadlines, reducing licensing
costs, security concerns and modernization initiatives," said Eric
Leach, Chief Product Officer for Strata. "Maverics Identity Discovery
takes the pain out of cloud migration by providing unified and deep
visibility into on-premises identity systems that slashes project times
to just hours and can save millions of dollars in manual labor costs."
In 10 minutes or less, Maverics Identity Discovery delivers a single comprehensive view of the following:
- Agents and agent groups
- Domains
- Realms
- Rules
- Responses, response attributes, and headers where attributes are set
- Resources (e.g. URLs)
- User directories
- Global settings (rules, responses, etc.)
- Identity system access logs that show various user and app activities
