--- title: "Harmony for Security" canonical: https://harmony.io/solutions/security --- # Harmony for Security Harmony's AI agents keep access, devices, and applications in policy: time-bound admin access, complete offboarding, EDR and encryption checks, and shadow IT discovery, all logged. ## Access, devices, and apps, in policy by default Harmony's AI agents grant access the right way, take it back on time, and keep watch over devices and applications, with every action logged. **Trigger:** Someone needs access, or something drifts out of policy. 1. **Request or detect** - From Slack, or found by an agent. 2. **Check against policy** - Role, risk, approver. 3. **Act and log** - Time-bound, auditable. **Outcome:** Access matches policy, risks reach their owner, and the audit trail writes itself.

An offboarding misses one app. A laptop falls out of encryption, an EDR agent stops reporting, a new AI tool shows up on a corporate card. Most of it is found in the next audit, not when it happens. **WHERE DOES RISK HIDE?** Standing admin rights, Orphaned accounts, Unencrypted devices, EDR gaps, Shadow apps, Unapproved AI tools With Harmony, each one has an agent watching it. ## How it works **Trigger:** Someone needs access, or something drifts out of policy. 1. **Request or detect** - Employees request access in Slack or Teams, and agents continuously check devices, apps, and accounts against your policies. 2. **Check against policy** - Harmony applies your access and device policies using the employee's role, groups, and devices, and routes anything sensitive to the right approver. 3. **Act and log** - Access is granted for as long as it is needed and revoked on schedule. Gaps are flagged to their owner. Every step is recorded. **Outcome:** Access matches policy, risks reach their owner, and the audit trail writes itself. ## What security gets - **Up to 89%**: of employee requests resolved at Cyera, company-wide - **48 hours**: typical time to go live - **No standing privilege**: Admin and sensitive access is time-bound and removed on schedule. - **Continuous coverage**: Devices, apps, and accounts are checked all the time, not once a quarter. - **Audit-ready by default**: Every request, approval, and change is logged in one place. ## What security can automate - **Temporary admin access**: Grant elevated rights for a set window, then revoke them automatically. - **Complete offboarding**: Every account and app access revoked when HR marks someone as leaving. - **Endpoint compliance**: Find devices with EDR gaps, misconfigurations, or no disk encryption. - **Shadow IT and AI tools**: Surface unauthorized applications and AI tools, and route them for review. - **Sensitive access approvals**: Route domain, group, and repository access to the right approver. - And 100+ more pre-built agents, out of the box ## Why Harmony - **Identity, device, and app context together**: Harmony sees who someone is, what they run, and what they can reach, across your IdP, MDM, EDR, and HR systems. - **It acts, not just alerts**: Findings turn into revocations, approvals, and notifications to the owner, not another dashboard to check. - **Policies in one place**: Compliance & Policies keeps every access and device rule versioned, owned, and enforced the same way everywhere. - **Built into the request flow**: Security controls apply at the moment someone asks, inside the Slack or Teams request they already make. - **AI governance included**: Discover the AI tools in use, see what they cost, and govern access through the same workflow. - **Why not just build our own bot?**: A homegrown bot, or an agent wired up with Claude or Gemini, can repeat an FAQ. It has none of this context, no AI guardrails, and building and maintaining agents per team does not scale. ## Works with the security stack you already run Harmony reads from your identity, endpoint, and EDR tools and acts through them. It does not replace them. Your IdP and EDR stay the source of truth. - [Okta](https://harmony.io/integrations/okta) - [Microsoft Entra ID](https://harmony.io/integrations/microsoft-entra-id) - [JumpCloud (IdP)](https://harmony.io/integrations/jumpcloud-idp) - [Google Workspace](https://harmony.io/integrations/google-workspace) - [CrowdStrike](https://harmony.io/integrations/crowdstrike) - [SentinelOne](https://harmony.io/integrations/sentinelone) - [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://harmony.io/integrations/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint) - [Jamf Pro](https://harmony.io/integrations/jamf-pro) - [Microsoft Intune](https://harmony.io/integrations/microsoft-intune) - [GitHub](https://harmony.io/integrations/github) - [Slack](https://harmony.io/integrations/slack) - [Microsoft Teams](https://harmony.io/integrations/microsoft-teams) ## Guardrails your auditors will recognize - **Nothing acts on its own**: Sensitive actions need a human approval and a business reason first. - **Scoped, time-bound access**: Elevated rights expire on schedule, with no manual cleanup. - **Full audit trail**: Every request, approval, and change is logged and exportable. - **The AI never holds the keys**: Agents act through scoped connections, never with direct system access. ## Secure by Design Four layers of security, so the AI never reaches your systems directly. ## Explore pre-built agents for security: - [Temporary Admin Access](https://harmony.io/agents/temporary-admin-access) - [Employee Account Termination](https://harmony.io/agents/employee-account-termination) - [EDR Status Discovery](https://harmony.io/agents/edr-status-discovery) - [Unencrypted Assets](https://harmony.io/agents/unencrypted-assets) - [Unauthorized Applications Detection](https://harmony.io/agents/unauthorized-applications-detection) - [Domain Access Security Approval](https://harmony.io/agents/domain-access-security-approval) ## Questions security asks ### What does Harmony do for security teams? Harmony enforces access and device policy automatically: time-bound admin access, complete offboarding, EDR and encryption checks, and discovery of shadow IT and AI tools, with every action logged. ### Does Harmony replace our IdP or EDR? No. Okta, Entra ID, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and the rest stay your source of truth. Harmony reads from them and acts through them. ### How does temporary admin access work? An employee requests elevated access in Slack or Teams, it routes to the right approver, and Harmony grants it for a set window and revokes it automatically when the window ends. ### Can Harmony find apps and AI tools we have not approved? Yes. Harmony correlates identity provider and SSO data, installed software on managed endpoints, and finance data to surface unauthorized applications and AI tools, then routes them for review. ### How does Harmony itself handle security? Guardrails hold the agent back on sensitive actions, access is scoped per connection, and every action is logged. Harmony is SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA aligned. ### How fast can we launch? Days, not months. Harmony connects to your systems and is production-ready fast.
