Posture Advisor Agent Core: Strengthening Identity Protections
The Ontinue Posture Advisor Agent Core is a free configuration auditing agent built with Microsoft Copilot, designed to enhance identity security in Microsoft Entra ID. Leveraging Ontinue’s global Security Operations Center expertise and a curated knowledge base of best practices, the agent continuously evaluates Conditional Access Policies, identifies gaps and misconfigurations, and highlights underutilized features. It delivers actionable, prioritized reports on demand or on a schedule, helping organizations harden identity-based policies and reduce exposure to evolving identity attacks.
According to Ontinue’s 1H 2025 Threat Intelligence Report, identity-based attacks are now one of the most common initial access methods, with attackers increasingly bypassing MFA and exploiting misconfigured or underutilized policies in Entra ID. The Posture Advisor Agent Core directly addresses these risks, providing best-practice recommendations to strengthen defenses.
Moritz Mann, Chief Strategy Officer at Ontinue, stated: “Identity remains the frontline of cybersecurity, and hidden gaps leave organizations exposed. By combining Microsoft’s powerful security capabilities with Ontinue’s expertise, this agent provides a simple, effective way to close those gaps and unlock the full potential of Microsoft Entra ID.”
Dorothy Li, Corporate Vice President, Security Copilot, Ecosystem and Marketplace at Microsoft, added: “The Microsoft Security Store simplifies how organizations approach cybersecurity. By offering a curated selection of trusted solutions and AI agents, we help Security and IT teams quickly find, purchase, and deploy technologies that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Security. Verified integrations, simplified billing, and guided deployment empower defenders to strengthen security posture and focus on what matters most.”
