CyberOne is proud to announce we have achieved Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Identity and Access Management (IAM)—recognising our deep expertise and proven success in securing digital identities and access with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

While this is a new Microsoft designation, it’s far from new territory. CyberOne has long championed Identity Security as the foundation of modern cyber defence and this Advanced Specialisation adds formal recognition to years of hands-on delivery and client success.

Identity Is the Security Perimeter

This specialisation represents more than capability—it reflects a core pillar of our strategy. At CyberOne, identity is not just another layer of security. It is the security perimeter.

That’s why identity security is embedded into our Assure 365 Managed Microsoft Security Services, delivered through our dedicated Identity as a Service. This fully Managed Service provides secure, compliant and scalable Identity & Access Management, with 24x7 monitoring, rapid response and expert governance — without the complexity of managing it in-house.

What This Means

Awarded only to Microsoft Partners who demonstrate deep technical capability, consistent delivery, and strong customer outcomes, this Advanced Specialisation validates CyberOne’s ability to:

  • Enforce Zero Trust principles

  • Manage identity governance and access control

  • Support hybrid workforces with seamless, secure access

  • Configuration of intelligent dynamic policies through Conditional Access

  • Bringing organisations into the future with passwordless authentication

  • Align organisations identity security posture to their regulatory requirements

Why Identity Security Matters More Now Than Ever

With over 600 million identity attacks happening every single day and more than 99% of them relying on passwords—identity has become the most targeted and exploited layer in modern cyberattacks (source: Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2024).

In today’s digital workplace, access isn’t limited to employees—it’s shared across partners, suppliers, contractors and clients. With every identity being an entry point, without proper control, each one becomes a potential security gap.

Real Outcomes with Assure 365 Identity as a Service

CyberOne’s identity capabilities are built into our Identity as a Service offering, enabling organisations to:

  • Strengthen compliance with automated, policy-based controls

  • Improve user experience with intelligent, secure access

  • Accelerate Microsoft Security ROI through guided optimisation and proactive governance

  • Evolve toward a passwordless, Zero Trust-aligned architecture

With threats evolving at an unprecedented rate, Identity & Access Management (IAM) is more critical than ever. CyberOne’s recognition ensures clients receive world-class protection aligned with global standards.
