Adaptive Shield vs SentinelOne Singularity Identity comparison

Adaptive Shield is a leading SaaS security posture management (SSPM) solution that provides visibility and remediation of potential risks in the SaaS estate caused by misconfigurations and misappropriated privileges. It enables security teams to locate and fix configuration weaknesses quickly, ensuring compliance with company and industry standards. The solution integrates with all types of SaaS applications, including video conferencing platforms, customer support tools, HR management systems, dashboards, workspaces, content and file-sharing applications, messaging applications, marketing platforms, and more. In addition, Adaptive Shield's framework is easy to use, intuitive, and doesn’t take long to deploy.

Adaptive Shield Features And Benefits

Adaptive Shield has many valuable key features and benefits. Some of the most useful ones include:

• Flexible architecture: Adaptive Shield integrates with any SaaS app and can be live within minutes, delivering clear visibility into the whole SaaS ecosystem with a posture score per app.

• Deep visibility: Adaptive Shield provides full visibility and control in a single pane of glass.

• App integration: The solution can integrate with more than 50 apps and contextualizes all the items at risk to help your security teams prioritize configuration weaknesses and increase time and efficiency to remediation.

• In-depth security checks: The Adaptive Shield solution has alerts and in-depth security checks by app, user, severity, or any other metric that can indicate misconfigurations in your SaaS environments. When misconfigurations happen, it automatically alerts you.

• Remediation: With Adaptive Shield, you gain access to a step-by-step remediation description to see exactly how to fix SaaS misconfigurations. In addition, you can auto-remediate directly from the system or create a ticket through your ticketing system of choice.

• Seamless user management and investigation: Adaptive Shield enables seamless user management and investigation across all SaaS apps - especially useful for securing sensitive users such as IT admins and executives.

• Three different types of inventory - The solution offers:
  
  
  1. User inventory, which gives you a comprehensive view of users across all connected SaaS apps. With the user inventory, you can see what SaaS the user is using or is deactivated on, privilege roles, and what security checks the user shows up in.
     
  2. Device inventory so you can correlate the risk of SaaS users and their endpoints. The solution’s device inventory provides visibility into the devices that have access to the company’s SaaS apps and allows you to manage risks based on the device hygiene score.
     
  3. Third-party app access: With Adaptive Shield, you gain visibility into third-party apps that are integrated with your SaaS stack.

• Privileged activity monitoring: By implementing Adaptive Shield, you can monitor privileged users and their activities to track user behavior and detect when suspicious activity occurs.

• Scoped users: Adaptive Shield offers limited access to the platform so the SaaS app owner, who exists outside of your security team, can have visibility into their owned apps and remediate issues right away, while your security team oversees.

• Timeline view: The Adaptive Shield solution provides a timeline view of your SaaS environment so you can detect changes and see how your system’s posture has evolved over time.

Singularity Identity, a component of the Singularity platform, provides threat detection & response (ITDR) capabilities to defend Active Directory and domain-joined endpoints in real-time from adversaries aiming to gain persistent, elevated privilege and move covertly. Singularity Identity provides actionable, high-fidelity insight as attacks emerge from managed and unmanaged devices. It detects identity misuse and reconnaissance activity happening within endpoint processes targeting critical domain servers, service accounts, local credentials, local data, network data, and cloud data. On-agent cloaking and deception techniques slow the adversary down while providing situational awareness and halting adversarial attempts at lateral movement. Singularity Identity helps you detect and respond to identity-based attacks, providing early warning while misdirecting them away from production assets.

Singularity Identity’s primary use case is to protect credential data and disrupt identity-based attacks. The most valuable function of Singularity Identity is its ability to misdirect attackers by providing deceptive data to identity-based recon attacks. Additionally, it can hide and deny access to locally stored credentials or identity data on Active Directory domain controllers.

Singularity Identity also provides rapid detection and respond to identity attacks, capturing attack activity and feeding it directly to the Singularity platform’s Security DataLake for enterprise-wide analysis and response.

By implementing Singularity Identity, organizations benefit from enhanced security, reduced credential-related risks, and improved user productivity. It detects and responds to identity-based attacks, ensuring only authorized individuals can access critical identity data. With its cloaking capabilities to hide identity stored locally on endpoints or in the identity infrastructure and it’s ability to provide decoy results to identity-based attacks, organizations can effectively secure their sensitive or privileged identities, resulting in improved overall identity security.
