Understanding SlashID
Introduction to the SlashID Security Management Solution
SlashID
SlashID offers a comprehensive view of identities, enabling informed decisions on identity hygiene, attack detection, and response. Contrary to other vendors, SlashID extends to human identities and credentials across both managed and unmanaged environments. SlashID’s approach to managing non-human identities (NHI) is built on three pillars:
Visibility: They cover cloud providers and SaaS applications. They provide visibility for Kubernetes clusters and network traffic through a deployable agent (similar to a sidecar model).
Detection: They provide both posture and anomaly detection. They can identify misconfigurations (eg weak MFA), but also extend that by performing behavioral analysis to detect compromised identities.
Remediation: They offer both manual and automated actions like suspending identities, revoking permissions, and deleting or rotating credentials. They equally integrate with workflow tools (e.g., Jira) to automate responses.
SlashID ingests identity and log data through agentless connectors for managed environments, and sidecars are used specifically for unmanaged environments like Kubernetes. This data builds a cross-provider “trust tree” for each identity, detailing permissions, roles, privileges, and historical activity. The trust tree simplifies lifecycle management and enforces least-privilege policies by identifying unused permissions and tracing NHI ownership and usage.
The detection engine identifies misconfigurations (e.g., unused permissions) and active threats. It includes an attack graph that aids SOC investigations and assesses the blast radius of breaches or misconfigurations. A key strength is cross-platform, cross-identity threat detection, such as lateral movement between human and non-human identities.
SlashID offers both manual and automated remediation, allowing organizations to enforce least-privilege policies and speed up incident response. The platform can quarantine identities, revoke sessions, integrate with ticketing and SOAR systems, and rotate and tokenize credentials as needed.
SlashID provides enterprises with a robust solution that intersects several key identity categories such as NHI, ITDR and identity attack surface management (IASM).
