Rezonate Unveils Zoe: The AI Assistant for Identity Security

Generative AI-Powered Assistant Highlights Company’s Mission to Solve Identity Security Challenges with Advanced AI and Analytics Capabilities

• Zoe provides AI-augmented identity security to help IAM and security teams get ahead and stay ahead of attackers by boosting speed and efficiency on routine posture/compliance activities and reducing MTTR/MTTD in case of identity breaches.

• Security, IAM, GRC, and DevOps teams can collaborate to resolve identity security concerns using generative AI to share insights and create instructions each team can easily follow based on their role.

• The early access launch of Zoe is the first step in Rezonate’s phased approach to delivering generative AI-enabled identity security capabilities while protecting customers via adherence to strict privacy controls customized to their unique AI readiness factor.

Rezonate, an innovator in identity-first security, today introduced its AI-powered assistant, Zoe. This innovative solution is designed to augment cybersecurity and identity and access management (IAM) teams. Zoe helps to proactively detect and mitigate identity risks across the dynamic, ever-expanding population of human and non-human identities operating in cloud infrastructures and SaaS applications. Zoe is now in early access and will be generally available in fall 2024.

Addressing and mitigating modern security issues requires a cross-disciplinary approach for IAM, DevOps, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and security departments. However, these teams don’t always speak the same language and lack a common framework for complete situational awareness when under attack. Zoe guides everyone through to the best decision via a conversational approach, empowering both small teams within mid-size organizations to overcome the skills and staffing gaps and larger enterprises to coordinate across departments to quickly resolve access privilege misconfigurations, policy violations, and other critical vulnerabilities before they become an attacker’s next attack vector.

AI-Powered Identity Security for Modern Enterprise Environments

Powered by generative AI, Zoe automates identity security tasks through natural language interactions, making any task a breeze by significantly enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of IAM and security teams and existing IAM technologies. The dynamic cybersecurity environment and increasing sophistication of attackers leveraging AI themselves require advanced solutions like Rezonate to keep up and stay ahead.

To help security analysts and identity security teams locate critical risks and conduct triage and remediation most efficiently, Zoe offers query abilities that lead to suggested actions, task lists, and reports. This streamlines and accelerates the execution of core identity security and compliance activities for resource-constrained teams.

Additional benefits of Zoe include:

• Faster Time to Identity Intelligence and Action: Translate inquiries from natural conversation into a unified query language. Leveraging end-to-end visibility via Rezonate’s Identity Storyline^TM, Zoe provides contextual and granular risk understanding. The AI assistant offers actionable insights for any access or identity security question.
• Continuous Monitoring and Proactive Alerts: Set up real-time alerts or messages on integrated platforms such as Slack or Teams to enable security and IAM personnel to stay updated on any changes or activities that might create risks or vulnerabilities.
• Accelerated Access Reviews and Compliance: Simplify and improve access reviews and compliance efforts by pulling reports using natural language prompts from the user and suggesting areas to focus on to ensure all policy violations are addressed.
• Knowledge Assistance for Security-IAM Teams: Break down any knowledge barriers between security and IAM teams. The advanced version will provide full details and necessary context on any alert relating to suspicious activities to enable remediation.

“Identity security is broken by siloed, disparate systems and manual efforts, leading to increased risk and breaches,” said Roy Akerman, CEO and co-founder at Rezonate. “First, we delivered the game-changing Identity Storyline^TM to close the visibility gap; next, we automated core identity security tasks. Today, we’re launching Zoe, the identity security AI assistant, to improve multidisciplinary collaboration, ease remediation anxiety, and speed up actionability. CISOs and their teams will love interacting with Zoe, always there to streamline complex identity security projects.”

Resolve the Critical Identity Crisis Facing Security and IAM Teams

Zoe is the latest front in Rezonate’s mission to protect identities everywhere. This starts with supporting organizations’ most common security needs, such as communication and visibility gaps, changing compliance needs, ongoing staffing and skills shortages, and the sheer number of security alerts and identities to manage.

Security and IAM teams often have different missions. Rezonate bridges this gap by enhancing operational efficiencies and meeting protective and defensive security demands with a better, faster way to collaborate and communicate across technical boundaries and siloed environments. The platform offers a holistic view of identity across complex, cloud-forward environments, providing the necessary context to understand the true risk associated with each identity and transaction. The same principle applies to compliance, allowing organizations to track how they stay in line with ever-increasing government regulations and certification requirements.

Homan Farahmand, VP Analyst of Gartner, recommends that organizations “evaluate relevant identity and access intelligence (IAI) use cases to incorporate GenAI capabilities as part of the enterprise identity fabric functions such as the addition of an IAM copilot and in-product features. Large and complex organizations should evaluate key components such as GenAI large language models and orchestration technologies for implementing custom IAI solutions. Small and midsize organizations can start with adopting vendors’ in-product capabilities.”¹

“With Rezonate, we can finally see and understand the end-to-end view of our cloud identities and their respective risk across our identity provider to our multi-account AWS infrastructure in real time,” said Olivier Martinet, Group CISO, TX Group. “Our DevOps and Security teams can work together eliminating blind spots and accelerating remediations.”
