MEDIA ADVISORY

Presenters at Microsoft Booth 1240 will also show how Strata’s Maverics  “Disconnected Mode” enables identity continuity and maintains uninterrupted access to apps when internet connectivity is unavailable

BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 1, 2024 — Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced that as a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) it will demonstrate how organizations can seamlessly migrate off legacy identity systems to Microsoft Entra ID without rewriting their applications during Black Hat 2024 in Las Vegas at Microsoft booth #1240. In addition, Strata will showcase how its Maverics Identity Orchestration platform supports identity provider (IDP) switching capabilities between Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory (AD) for continuous business operations and application access in DDIL (Degraded, Disconnected, Intermittent, and Low-Bandwidth) network environments. 

WHO: Aldo Pietropaolo, Field CTO, Strata Identity, has over 20 years of experience in the identity industry as an executive, advisor, and solutions engineering leader with SGNL, Good Dog Labs, Identropy, PwC, HP, RSA, and Securant.
Granville Schmidt, Principal Architect, Strata Identity, previously served as the Chair of JavaScript Security TG (TC39-TG3) and as an Architect within the Office of the CTO at F5, and was Information Security Officer and Founding Engineer at Rhyme (previously PriorAuthNow). 

WHAT: Most legacy on-premises applications do not support modern identity protocols, preventing organizations from fully implementing modern authentication and advanced security services from Microsoft such as phishing-resistant MFA. It further means that those apps are often stuck behind legacy web access management (WAM) identity providers with no easy path forward. Aldo and Granville will demonstrate how to replace outdated IDPs with cloud-based Microsoft Entra ID — all without rewriting complex access policies and application code using Strata’s Maverics. Attendees will also learn how to maintain continuous business operations and application access for Microsoft Entra ID when Internet connectivity is intermittent or unreliable using Identity Continuity capabilities provided by Strata’s Maverics. 

WHEN: Thursday, August 8, from 10 am – 12 pm PDT

WHERE: Microsoft booth #1240 at Black Hat 2024, Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

About Strata Identity 

Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud. The orchestration recipe-powered Maverics platform enables organizations to integrate and control incompatible identity systems with an identity fabric that does not change the user experience or require rewriting apps. Maverics also provides identity continuity that prevents application outages by failing over to an alternate on-premises or cloud IDP when the primary IDP goes offline. By decoupling applications from identity, Maverics makes it possible to implement modern authentication, like passwordless, and enforce consistent access policies without refactoring apps. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML standard for SSO federation.
