Semperis, a cybersecurity company focused on identity-based resilience and crisis management, said Wednesday it has acquired MightyID, a specialist in protecting cloud identity systems used by platforms such as Okta and Ping. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition expands Semperis’ capabilities beyond traditional Microsoft Active Directory environments to include cloud-based identity providers, allowing organizations to better protect authentication and access systems across hybrid and multi-cloud networks, the company said.

Semperis CEO Mickey Bresman said the move reflects a shift in cybersecurity priorities from prevention alone to operational resilience.
“Effective defense means resilience—not just prevention—so operations can continue, even under attack,” Bresman said in a statement. “This acquisition advances our leadership in identity-driven security and crisis management, helping organizations ensure mission continuity in the face of modern cyberattacks.”
MightyID, which was cited in Gartner’s 2025 guidance on workforce access management, provides backup, restore, migration and failover tools for cloud identity platforms. Its technology is designed to keep authentication and access services running during outages or cyber incidents affecting primary identity systems.
Alex Weinert, Semperis’ chief product officer, said the integration extends protection across what he described as the “identity fabric” — the interconnected ecosystem of identity providers, applications, users, devices and governance tools that modern organizations rely on.
“That means stronger coverage across hybrid identity and multi-cloud environments, on-prem or in the cloud, where an outage anywhere can become a business crisis everywhere,” Weinert said.
Semperis said integrating MightyID into its identity resilience platform will allow organizations to better manage risks across hybrid environments, including preventing attacks that move laterally from on-premises systems to cloud platforms, automatically remediating malicious changes, and restoring identity services quickly during incident response operations.
The combined platform will also offer built-in fault tolerance to support recovery efforts during cyberattacks and provide crisis management tools aimed at accelerating a return to normal business operations, the company said.
Chris Steinke, chief operating officer of MightyID, said the deal brings together complementary strengths in protecting identity infrastructure.
“Given that hybrid AD and Entra ID environments are the infrastructure backbone for 90% of businesses worldwide,” Steinke said, “this move ensures a seamless, flexible approach to identity resilience that will protect organizations regardless of which cloud identity platform they choose.”
Semperis said the acquisition underscores growing concerns that cyberattacks targeting identity systems can escalate into full-scale operational disruptions if access controls and authentication services are compromised.
