Lepide Protect: Detect & Revoke Excessive Permissions Fast
▼ Summary
– Lepide launched Lepide Protect, an AI-powered permissions management solution to help organizations automate data security and zero trust implementation.
– The solution enables organizations to detect, prioritize, and automatically revoke excessive permissions using AI-driven risk-based decision-making.
– Lepide Protect analyzes access patterns, identifies anomalies, and adapts to organizational roles for context-aware cleanup.
– Key benefits include automated risk reduction, organizational intelligence, and granular delegation for targeted permission management.
– The tool provides continuous insight into access rights and automates actions to bridge the gap between zero trust policy and practice.
Managing data access has always been a tug-of-war between security and convenience. With its new Lepide Protect, Lepide wants to tip the balance toward smarter security, without slowing business down. Part of the Lepide Data Security Platform 25.1, Lepide Protect uses AI to find and remove excessive permissions in real time, making the zero trust model more than just a slogan.
Old-school permission management usually depends on static rules and tedious audits. It’s slow, error-prone, and often leaves risky access gaps untouched for months. Lepide Protect flips that script with artificial intelligence that tracks user behavior, flags anomalies, and adjusts permissions to match actual needs. Instead of reviewing endless spreadsheets, teams can pinpoint high-risk access and fix it before it becomes a doorway for attackers.
Cut Risk, Keep Moving
Aidan Simister, Lepide’s CEO, sums it up: “Security teams are overwhelmed by permission sprawl, but Lepide Protect cuts through the complexity with AI-driven automation.” Instead of waiting for periodic cleanups, companies can fix overprivileged accounts on the fly, tightening controls without bogging down workflows.
Key features include:
- Automated risk reduction: AI scans for unneeded access and revokes it based on custom policies, saving teams from manual cleanups.
- Continuous visibility: Organizations get an always-on view of who has access to what, so zero trust isn’t just policy on paper but an active process.
- Instant response: Suspicious changes or risky privileges get flagged and corrected automatically, closing the gap between policy and real-world practice.
The 25.1 update brings other upgrades to Lepide’s broader security suite, reinforcing its position among vendors trying to make intelligent data protection more practical. For companies struggling with the hidden risks of permission sprawl, AI-powered tools like Lepide Protect promise faster fixes, less manual drudge work, and a clearer path to zero trust security that actually works in daily operations.
