Beyond Identity becomes a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). MISA is an association of independent software vendors and managed security service providers who have integrated their solutions with Microsoft's security products to help mutual customers better protect themselves against increasing cyber threats. To be eligible for MISA, companies must be nominated by Microsoft and demonstrate integrations designed to improve corporate security.
MISA - Enhancing Enterprise Security
Enterprises today struggle to protect all users and devices accessing their SaaS applications and require more dynamic control over access to resources depending on the specific configuration of those devices. Beyond Identity was nominated for MISA membership because its platform leverages the power of the device management capabilities of Microsoft's Endpoint Manager and combines them with Beyond Identity's native device-level security signals to make risk-based authentication decisions. The ability to assess whether a device is managed and secure at the time of authentication helps organizations prevent account takeover and implement an authentication strategy compatible with Zero Trust.
“The members of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association integrate their solutions with those of Microsoft to get more information, increase transparency and better protect against threats. By extending Microsoft's security capabilities across the ecosystem, we're helping our mutual customers thrive,” said Maria Thomson, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association Lead.
