Semperis unveils Ready1 to boost identity crisis recovery

Semperis has introduced Ready1 for Identity Crisis Management to support organisations in recovering from identity-based cyberattacks and resuming normal business operations.

Ready1 brings together several of Semperis' existing offerings, including Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR), Disaster Recovery for Entra Tenant (DRET), and Identity Forensics and Incident Response (IFIR), alongside its enterprise crisis management system. The new product is aimed at enhancing operational resilience when identity systems are compromised, which can render most business applications and communication tools inaccessible.

Organisations increasingly rely on identity infrastructure platforms such as Active Directory and Entra for critical functions, from email and conferencing to operational systems. When these underlying systems are compromised, the process of recovery can be protracted and costly.

Platform overview

Ready1 provides a centralised command-and-control console designed to help security and IT teams coordinate responses even if core identity systems are offline. The system seeks to enable fast recovery of trusted environments and prevent attackers from regaining access post-incident.

According to Semperis, the platform automates several key functions: orchestrating incident response, streamlining communication between team members during outages, restoring business-critical identity systems, and facilitating forensic investigations to prevent subsequent attacks.

Semperis is unique in thinking about the complete identity resilience problem-before, during, and after an incident. During an identity outage, one of the hardest things to deal with is figuring out how to get in touch with your team when all identity-dependent systems are down. For most customers, that means all apps and services, including email, conferencing, file shares, contacts, and operations. How do you communicate and coordinate? Semperis Ready1 for Identity Crisis Management gives organisations everything they need to streamline incident response and recover the identity infrastructure, significantly speeding return to normal business operations. Solving this problem is core to delivering identity resilience, and we are delighted to provide this capability to our identity resilience customers at no additional cost.

This perspective was offered by Alex Weinert, Chief Product Officer at Semperis. Weinert highlighted the complications that arise for organisations when communication lines are disrupted during an incident and positioned Ready1 as a tool to close coordination gaps during downtime.

Recovery coordination

Semperis Chief Executive Officer Mickey Bresman stressed the value of combining identity recovery with crisis management, noting practical experience from previous incident response efforts with hybrid AD and Entra ID ransomware attacks.

We wrote the playbook for cyber-first hybrid identity recovery. Through our identity-focused incident response service engagements to help organisations recover from hybrid AD and Entra ID ransomware attacks, we have witnessed time after time the chaos of incident response when the company identity systems are compromised. Unifying identity recovery and response with cyber crisis management in one seamless offering helps organisations assemble the technology, processes, and people to keep chaos at bay even when all systems are down, effectively manage the incident, and quickly restore the identity system to a trusted environment.

Bresman indicated that the new offering is designed to bring increased order to incident responses that are often marked by confusion when identity access is lost. The system aims to help organisations coordinate and restore their systems more efficiently, reducing the operational impact of cyberattacks on their core infrastructure.

Availability

Ready1 for Identity Crisis Management will initially be offered at no cost on a limited basis to existing customers of Active Directory Forest Recovery and Disaster Recovery for Entra Tenant. Semperis intends to make the product available to a broader set of users in early 2026.
