Introducing Quest Identity Defense

About Security Management Platform

Quest Security Management Platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application, available through quest-on-demand.com, that provides access to multiple Quest Software Microsoft management tools through a single interface.

Security Management Platform is based on the concepts of organizations, products, and Entra ID tenants. When you sign up for the Security Management Platform service, you create an organization that can subscribe to products. Organization administrators can use the tools provided by the Security Management Platform products to perform administrative actions on Entra ID tenants.

Currently, products are available for:

  • Migration
  • Identity Recovery
  • Identity Defense

Accessing Quest Security Management Platform

Security Management Platform management is based on the concepts of organizations. When you sign up for the Security Management Platform service, you create an organization and you become the organization administrator. The organization can then subscribe to modules.

To access Security Management Platform

  1. Go to quest-on-demand.com

  2. On the Welcome to Quest Security Management Platform page, click Sign in with Microsoft.

  3. Sign in using your Microsoft MFA-enabled account.

  4. As part of the login process with Microsoft Entra ID, users must consent to the set of minimal permissions. By default, all users are allowed to consent to applications for permissions that do not require administrator consent. This behavior might be disabled in some Microsoft Entra tenants and may require tenant administrators to enable user consent flow for the Quest Security Management Platform application.

For more details, see Signing up for Quest On Demand in Security Management Platform Global Settings User Guide.
