Semperis acquires MightyID to extend identity protection

Semperis has announced its acquisition of MightyID, an identity resilience specialist for cloud identity providers Okta and Ping.

According to the company, this acquisition allows Semperis to extend true cyber-resilience with identity-first security and crisis management across complex hybrid identity environments including Microsoft Active Directory (AD), Entra ID, Okta and Ping.

“Effective defence means resilience”

Mickey Bresman, CEO of Semperis commented: “This strategic move furthers our mission to help organisations achieve true cyber-resilience.

“Effective defence means resilience – not just prevention – so operations can continue, even under attack.

“This acquisition advances our leadership in identity-driven security and crisis management, helping organisations ensure mission continuity in the face of modern cyber-attacks,” Bresman concluded.

Gartner’s 2025 Guidance for Workforce Access Management

Named in Gartner’s 2025 Guidance for Workforce Access Management, MightyID’s capabilities span backup, restore, migration and failover for cloud identity platforms and are designed to ensure that authentication and access continue even when primary systems experience problems.

“Stronger coverage”

Alex Weinert, Chief Product Officer, Semperis stated: “With MightyID joining Semperis, we’re extending our comprehensive identity resilience across the identity fabric – the complex web of IdPs, apps, users, devices and governance solutions that organisations manage.

“That means stronger coverage across hybrid identity and multi-cloud environments, on-prem or in the cloud, where an outage anywhere can become a business crisis everywhere.”

Integration

The company highlighted that the integration of MightyID into the Semperis identity resilience platform will deliver broad comprehensive capabilities for organisations managing hybrid identity systems:

• Continuous exposure management to prevent sophisticated attacks that move laterally from on-prem identity systems to cloud environments
• Automated remediation of malicious changes across the hybrid identity environment
• Flexible, fast recovery of hybrid identity systems, with built-in fault tolerance to handle the chaotic incident response (IR) environment
• Turnkey crisis management to accelerate return to normal business operations following an attack

“The infrastructure backbone”

Chris Steinke, Chief Operating Officer, MightyID commented: “Combining MightyID’s innovation in protecting cloud identity platforms with Semperis’ established expertise in full-lifecycle identity resilience ultimately benefits any organisation that needs to protect their complex, multi-cloud identity environments from attacks.

“Given that hybrid AD and Entra ID environments are the infrastructure backbone for 90% of businesses worldwide, this move ensures a seamless, flexible approach to identity resilience that will protect organisations regardless of which cloud identity platform they choose,” Steinke concluded.
