Authomize has expanded its REST API framework that allows customers to easily build their own custom connectors to their cloud and homegrown applications and services in hours.
Authomize’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution enables organizations to automatically secure access privileges across their entire cloud stack, including IaaS, SaaS, and IAM solution.
Using native connectors, REST APIs, SCIM connectors, and a file uploader, Authomize can ingest, normalize, and verify identity and access data from any cloud, on-prem, or homegrown application or service.
Based on this data, Authomize can gain deep insight into effective access paths that would otherwise be obscured by the volume of multiple IAM structures and multi-cloud, siled environments.
Today Authomize is releasing a new version of its API to empower customers to connect more of their applications and services with the same granularity and scope as native connectors.
“Authomize’s rich granularity of connectors enables us to provide deep visibility into IAM’s most complex authorization models, including users, groups, roles, access privileges, assets, and activities, ” said Guy Katzir, Head of Product at Authomize, adding, “ Our ability to map and understand hierarchy structures within assets and groups gives customers the powerful insights they need to apply the most effective identity and access security controls and conduct the most thorough investigation of incidents.”
“We’re already seeing customers using the REST API to build integrations with Coupa, Workday, Zuora, Chef, NetSuite, Tenable.io. and more,” he said, “They use these connectors to get the same high level of IAM permission modeling and depth of value visibility that we provide for our native connectors. Our new framework enables them to perform all of the functions they envision in Automize, from running accurate, streamlined User Access Reviews to enforcing security policies with continuous monitoring.”
Using the new REST API, organizations can integrate Authomize into their entire security stack, including leading SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM.
Along with recently released APIs, users can use new webhook functionalities to automate the revocation of access privileges directly through their Okta, send alerts to orchestration tools security like Microsoft Sentinel, and open tickets with ServiceNow and Jira, adding value to other parts of their tooling ecosystem from Automize’s identity and data enrichment access.
“Customers can now create bi-directional integrations that allow them to not only send tickets or alerts, but also receive updates on incidents to provide an end-to-end flow of work and verify the remediation,” Katzir said.
As part of expanding integrations, Authomize has added Identity Providers (IdPs) OneLogin and JumpCloud, as well as Bamboo HR and Delinea’s Secret Server which will allow them to track users between Secret Server and AWS , which helps customers identify stale accounts and secrets. .
Customers who automate can expect to see additional support for the core applications and services they develop, own, and use in their cloud. This will likely include a continued focus on expanding Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities to secure access privileges for a continuous development pipeline of customers.
