Semperis, a company specialising in corporate identity protection and cyber resilience, will acquire MightyID. MightyID has technology that prevents downtime and supports business continuity through identity management system backups and automated recovery, including granular restoration of specific identity elements. It also supports migration when switching identity providers and includes failover and resilience features for outages, attacks or malfunctions. Semperis plans to expand identity-centric security and crisis-management capabilities across hybrid Microsoft Active Directory environments.

Companies specialising in backup solutions are calling for a shift toward backup-centred ransomware defence as attacks evolve. Cohesity, which acquired Veritas, is expanding cyber resilience offerings and says multi-layered backups, including offline and immutable storage, are now essential. The company released survey findings from IT and security leaders, including about 200 South Korean firms, showing cyberattacks affecting forecasts, share prices, budgets and legal exposure, and highlighting management pressure on IT staff in South Korea.
