Company Recognized for Leading the Non-human Identity Security Space
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Astrix Security, the enterprise’s trusted solution for securing non-human identities, has earned three awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM):
- Editor’s Choice Cybersecurity Startup of the Year
- Best Solution Saas/Cloud Security
- Market Leader Third Party Cyber Risk
“While 49% of breaches involve stolen credentials, 90% of credentials are not protected by existing IAM solutions. Service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and other non-human identities hold privileged access to enterprise environments and stay under the radar. The recent attacks on Dropbox, Cloudflare, Okta, and Microsoft prove how attackers recognize that non-human identities are the path of least resistance,” says Alon Jackson, Astrix Security’s CEO and co-founder. “Astrix continues to pioneer this space, helping security teams gain visibility and control over these unmonitored and improperly secured identities, which in turn allows businesses to unleash the immense power of connectivity and automation, without compromising on security. Earning these awards validates the strides we are making in the non-human identity space, and we are honored to be recognized amongst more industry leaders.”
Astrix is the first solution to help security teams gain full control of their non-human identity layer, across all environments – SaaS, IaaS and PaaS. Using an agentless approach, Astrix allows security teams to quickly discover all their non-human identities and access tokens in one place, and automatically detects and remediates over-privileged, unnecessary, and malicious access that exposes their organizations to supply chain attacks, data breaches and compliance violations. Astrix helps security teams automatically detect and remediate attacks leveraging non-human access in real-time, as well as continuously reduce attack surfaces by managing the complete lifecycle of every connection, from creation to expiration with automated remediation workflow integrated with their existing IT management systems, SIEM and SOAR.
Astrix’s platform helps security teams like Agoda, Netapp, Workato, Priceline, and Figma seamlessly remediate risky access with automated workflows integrated into their organization’s daily IT service management tools.
“Astrix embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
Astrix Security will be exhibiting at RSA Conference 2024, May 6-9 (Moscone South Expo, Booth #3106).
