Resolve Identity Risks at Enterprise Scales
Identity risks continue to increase exponentially daily. Axiad Mesh helps cybersecurity teams leverage identity fabric technologies to address these risks across the extended enterprise.
Identity Risk Management, Made Practical
CISOs and security leaders in midsize and large enterprises face ongoing attacks aimed at digital identities, whether human or machine, persistent or ephemeral. Charged with protecting these identities, they often have no visibility into the extent of their connected human and non-human systems, let alone the risks these identities are facing.
Axiad Mesh is an identity risk management solution that helps these teams identify the risks their organizations face, quantify those risks, and then fortify identities against these risks in an automated, scalable way.
Identity Risks Impact Every Organization
A 2024 report from the Identity Defined Security Alliance, or IDSA, showed that 22% of businesses see managing digital identities as the number one priority of their security program. In fact, more than half said it was a top three priority, while only 2% failed to put “securing identities” in their top 10 list at all.
Identity Risks Remain Invisible
Most organizations realize their mix of internal, on-prem, SaaS-based and infrastructure-based systems comes with an overwhelming number of identities. Not just the identities of every person, machine, application, service and system being used, but also the state of these identities. Are they over-privileged? Are they continually correlated to official sources of truth? But organizations don’t have visibility into the identities they depend on, let alone the risks they present.
Silos Defy Management and Control
Identity sprawl is a real and pressing danger. In the IDSA report, more than half of the respondents consider “managing identity sprawl” a major focus for 2025 (57%). Yet the siloed controls we rely on don’t help with this sprawl. They don’t take into account external and often highly-privileged SaaS solutions. They don’t provide common communication and control to harmonize and simplify risk management. They create small picture views that prevent big picture solutions.
Risks Span Human and Non-Human Identities
Digital transformation means every interaction is a mix of human and machine identities. Machines and workloads now outnumber human identities by as much as 10:1, making any solution blind to machines a non-starter. Both human and non-human identities are sometimes persistent and sometimes ephemeral, making continuous monitoring a necessity.
Risks Can’t Be Translated into Actions
Addressing these challenges requires not just new solutions, but new approaches. Successful identity fabrics need remediation and mitigation steps to be shared across teams. Identity fabrics need to communicate real risk insight in the form of the blast radius that may come from compromise, and the collateral impacts that may attend repairs and modifications.
The Key Benefits of Axiad Identity Mesh
Identify Your Identity Risks
Most organizations simply don’t know what identity risks they face. Generations of legacy controls are at odds with digital transformation, and new SaaS solutions run beside on-prem gear. All these controls need a connective mesh that provides:
- Discovery, visibility, and observability of the identities being used throughout the enterprise
- Identification of internal and external risk sources, from on-prem or adjacent or SaaS systems
- Alignment of risk to teams, or locations, or business units or by human and non-human types
Quantify Identity Risks
Knowing the state of your identities and identity risks is only the first step. Axiad Mesh reveals:
- What's the actual risk score? What are its elements? How is it calculated?
- What is the potential impact or blast radius of a compromised risk?
- What is the cost to the business to address – or not address – this risk?
Fortify Identities Against Risk
Identified and quantified risks should be reconciled or remediated. If the organization chooses to remediate, more insight and control is needed, fast. An identity fabric helps security and operations teams:
- Improve their precognition of complex attacks, using known frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK
- Delegate and track the recorded risks as they’re managed or accepted
- Remediate the risks with known and trusted steps
- Lower their risk scores over time in a managed, deliberate fashion
Integrations
Connectors
Axiad Mesh integrates seamlessly with your existing tools.
Solutions Based on Each Organization's Risk Appetite
Identity Correlation & Risk Mitigation
Axiad Mesh provides identity correlation across fragmented systems, providing a unified view of an organization’s identities. It merges manually and automatically detected identities and assigns risk scores to highlight inconsistencies and vulnerabilities. Analytics and trend tracking unify signals and predict risk states
Automate Identity Hygiene & Remediation
Axiad Mesh improves identity hygiene by automatically detecting and flagging issues like excessive permissions, weak or non-deployed MFA, or inconsistent statuses. It supports automated workflows to remediate these risks without manual intervention, with delegation to management platforms for automatic remediation if needed. AIM also integrates with native remediation capabilities delivered by Axiad Conductor.
What Experts Say
The Essential Guide to IdRM
“Almost every organization has a fast-growing, rapidly morphing, and (all too often) poorly defended attack surface: its identity ecosystem. Learn how to map it and how to defend it.”
Gartner on Identity Hygiene
According to recent research from analyst firm Gartner, “Security and risk management leaders face challenges in prioritizing IAM hygiene, leaving their organizations vulnerable to credential compromise and breaches.” This research provides CISOs and identity teams with advice on how to communicate identity hygiene risks, stop the creation of hygiene issues, and ensure accountability for IAM hygiene.
