CyberDesk and Umbrella Security Operations Enter Distribution Partnership

Bringing Unified Transparency Across Identities and Data to Strengthen Enterprise Security

04.11.2025

CyberDesk, the European pioneer for identity-centric data security, today announced a new distribution partnership with Umbrella Security Operations GmbH, a leading implementation partner for modern Identity Security solutions. Together, the two companies will enable enterprises to achieve full visibility and control over who has access to what data, bridging the gap between identity and data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

As organizations face increasing regulatory pressure from DORA, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)—and a growing number of identity-driven cyberattacks—this partnership combines Umbrella’s deep expertise in Identity Governance (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Customer Identity (CIAM) with CyberDesk’s fine-grained data access governance platform.

“Umbrella Security Operations has established itself as one of Germany’s most trusted partners for implementing robust identity frameworks,” said Dr. Tobias Lieberum, Co-Founder and Managing Director of CyberDesk. “Together, we’re closing the visibility gap that still exists between identity and data. Our joint offering allows customers to see, in real time, which identities can access what data—and to act before risks turn into incidents.”

For Umbrella Security Operations, the collaboration reinforces its commitment to secure digital transformation through technical excellence and practical execution.

“Identity is the new perimeter—but visibility doesn’t stop there,” said Sebastian Rohr, Managing Director at Umbrella Security Operations. “With CyberDesk, we’re extending our customers’ security capabilities beyond identities to the data layer. This means more transparency, stronger compliance, and measurable reduction of risk.”

Bringing Identity and Data Security Together

With CyberDesk added to its portfolio, Umbrella Security Operations will help customers take the next step on their Zero Trust journey—beyond authentication—by closing the long-standing gap in authorization.

While modern identity providers have streamlined authentication, the question of who should access what remains complex and fragmented. Traditional IAM and IGA tools often leave organizations managing permissions blindly—without clear visibility into what access rights actually grant, or who ultimately has control. Integrations are slow, maintenance is costly, and non-human identities frequently fall through the cracks.

CyberDesk closes these gaps by offering:

A unified view across identities and data – full transparency over who has access to which information across multi-cloud and SaaS environments.
Context-aware authorization management – visibility into permissions across systems, enabling organizations to enforce true least privilege access at scale.
Auditability and compliance by design – continuous insight into access relationships to support DORA, NIS2, and CRA readiness.
Seamless integration with existing identity ecosystems – extending the value of established IGA, PAM, and CIAM frameworks without complex or slow implementation projects.

Together, CyberDesk and Umbrella Security Operations are redefining identity-centric data security—bridging the long-standing gap between who a user is and what that user can actually access. The partnership enables organizations to realize the full vision of Zero Trust by unifying visibility across identities, permissions, and data usage, empowering teams to make faster, smarter, and safer access decisions.
