Semperis reimagines Active Directory migration from the ground up. Semperis | Published 24 Sept 2026 COMPANY NEWS: Migrator for Active Directory treats AD migration as a security event - not a data-copy operation - with staged validation, agent-based endpoint cutover, and real-time visibility across the migration lifecycle. Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response company, today announced the worldwide availability of Semperis Migrator for Active Directory 2.0, a ground-up architectural rebuild that makes Active Directory (AD) migration observable, controlled and security-centric at every stage. Active Directory remains the primary identity platform for most global enterprises. Yet identity weaknesses now play a material role in nearly 90 percent of cyber incidents, according to the 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report, with attacks targeting AD authentication tickets doubling year over year. That makes the AD migration window - when systems are extended, credentials are in transit, and two environments share a single attack surface - one of the highest-risk phases in the identity lifecycle. Despite this, most migration tooling has not meaningfully changed in over a decade. This new version of Semperis Migrator for AD is built on Kubernetes and is designed around a central premise: that every object you migrate is a trust boundary crossed. The release introduces: * Directory Synchronization Sets (DSS) for project-scoped, wave-based execution * Staging reports that preview every change before it commits * A Secure Access and Control Agent for in-place endpoint cutover without reimaging * A unified searchable log surface across all components * Deployment validation that surfaces infrastructure blockers during setup instead of mid-migration "Migration and consolidation are a major step that companies can take to reduce their attack surface, simplify identity systems and reduce the overall cost of managing multiple IDPs," said a Sharp Healthcare identity team spokesperson. "Migrator for AD exists so organizations can consolidate and reduce their attack surface with the control, visibility and security rigor that such a consequential project demands." For regulated industries, Migrator addresses complex identity environments without disrupting critical operations. "Migrator synchronizes identities and contacts across environments during an acquisition integration without changing authentication or disrupting existing provisioning workflows," added the Sharp Healthcare spokesperson. Identity-system attacks are on the rise and with Microsoft's phased deprecation enforcement of RC4 encryption in Kerberos in effect since July, many organizations are facing a unique exposure risk during migration projects. Those that are still RC4-dependent could face mid-migration service-account failures, cross-forest authentication breakdowns, and coexistence disruptions - issues that most legacy migration tools were never designed to surface. At the same time, M&A-driven identity-integration timelines continue to shrink. Deals typically require value realization within 12-18 months, while full identity integration can traditionally take 18-24 months. "The risk in migration was never the copy operation. It's everything the copy operation touches - the service accounts nobody documented, the encryption dependencies nobody audited, the attack paths nobody closed," said Michael Masciulli, Semperis Managing Director, Migration Products & Services. "Migrator for AD makes those risks visible before they become outages. That's how you come out of a migration stronger, not just moved." Built for global, partner-led delivery Migrator for Active Directory is designed for a partner-first delivery model. Semperis provides guided deployment, enablement, and certification so delivery partners can execute migration engagements at scale while retaining the customer relationship and delivery ownership. The platform is available worldwide - including regulated industries across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific - through Semperis and its partner ecosystem. Availability Migrator for Active Directory is available through Semperis and its delivery-partner ecosystem, subject to regional ordering, support, and deployment requirements.

Semperis has launched Migrator for Active Directory 2.0, a security-focused tool for Active Directory migration. The platform treats migration as a security event rather than a simple data transfer, addressing rising identity-system attacks that factor into nearly 90% of cyber incidents. Built on Kubernetes, the tool provides real-time visibility and staged validation throughout migration. It aims to reduce attack surfaces during the high-risk migration window, when credentials are in transit and systems are extended. The release comes as Microsoft enforces RC4 encryption deprecation in Kerberos, creating exposure risks for organisations still dependent on the protocol. Semperis designed the platform for global, partner-led delivery across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. More than 1,200 organisations, including over 25% of the largest US companies, use Semperis products.

Home Media OutReach Semperis secures IMDA accreditation to strengthen Identity Resilience in the AI Era. Achieves triple-digit APAC growth, and expands senior leadership team to accelerate regional momentum. SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 September 2026 - Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response company, today announced accreditation from Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), recognising Semperis for its 'Identity Resilience Platform'. This is a strong validation of the company's product capabilities, operational maturity and readiness to serve enterprise and public sector customers. It comes on the back of the company's triple digit revenue growth across Asia, including Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan. The company also announced several new hires amid this growth phase, with Shekhar Thakurdesai joining Semperis as AVP of India and SAARC business, and Ridwan Basri as Channel Director in Asia. Nick Lowther and Daniel O'Mara have joined Semperis in key sales roles to bolster growth across the region. Organisations across Asia Pacific look to bolster cyber resilience amid the rapid adoption of AI agents, with threat actors increasingly targeting identity systems such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping Identity. According to Semperis' newest study, State of Identity Security in the AI Era, only 21% of the organisations in Singapore and Australia are confident they could fully regain control of their identity infrastructure if an AI agent exposes admin credentials to an attacker, while 93% already use or plan to use AI agents for sensitive security tasks such as password resets and VPN access. "Asia Pacific is one of the fastest-growing global digital economies, and organisations in the region are embracing AI agents and integrating it into their identity systems. However, Semperis' study highlights that many haven't to date adopted safeguards to manage them," said Gerry Sillars, Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan, Semperis. "Unfortunately, cybercriminals are moving just as quickly. Businesses are recognising that cyber resilience starts with protecting the identity systems that every user, application and AI agent depends upon. Our exceptional growth across APJ reflects this shift in mindset. We're investing aggressively in local talent, expanding our regional presence and strengthening our partner ecosystem so we can help more organisations prevent, respond to, and recover from identity-based cyberattacks with confidence." Singapore continues to play a pivotal role in Semperis' regional growth strategy, as governments and enterprises accelerate AI adoption. Mr Edwin Low, Director, Enterprise & Ecosystem Development, IMDA said, "Identity systems are a key target for cyberattacks, with AI adding new complexity to an evolving threat landscape. With IMDA's accreditation, we look forward to Semperis bringing its resilience and recovery capabilities to help organisations better safeguard their critical identity infrastructure." With continued investment in regional talent, strategic partnerships and innovation, Semperis is well-positioned to support organisations across Asia Pacific and Japan as they strengthen identity resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats in the AI era.
