Hybrid Active Directory and Entra ID management, threat detection, and forest recovery measured in minutes

Cayosoft addresses the part of a Microsoft estate that is both the hardest to govern and the worst to lose: hybrid identity across on-premises Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365. Cayosoft Administrator handles the management side, automating identity lifecycle and provisioning under policy-driven delegation so helpdesk and business users can perform scoped tasks without being handed broad directory rights. The Guardian platform covers the protection side, monitoring changes across all three environments in real time, flagging privilege abuse and suspicious modification, and letting an unwanted change be rolled back individually instead of through a full restore.

The recovery capability is the company's headline claim. Instant Forest Recovery maintains a validated standby environment so an Active Directory forest can be brought back in minutes rather than through the multi-day manual runbook a traditional forest recovery implies — the scenario that turns a ransomware incident into an outage measured in days. Audit and Restore keeps the change history that makes selective rollback possible and supplies the audit trail for compliance reporting. Customers range from SMB to mid-enterprise, with concentration in federal government, healthcare, education, and other regulated sectors. Cayosoft was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Westerville, Ohio; it raised $22.5M in 2024.
