Microsoft has acquired Aorato, a developer of enterprise security solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Key to Aorato’s approach is the Organizational Security Graph, a living, continuously-updated view of all of the people and machines accessing an organization’s Windows Server Active Directory (AD).
Microsoft said the acquisition will give customers a new level of protection against threats through better visibility into their identity infrastructure.

Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
