Automox Signs CISA Secure by Design Pledge, Committing to Put Customer Security First
08 Mayo 2024 - 4:57PM
Automox, the leading Autonomous Endpoint Management
cloud-native platform, today proudly signed and committed to the
CISA Secure by Design Pledge at CISA’s RSA Conference launch event.
This commitment solidifies the company’s already extensive security
leadership, demonstrated in its recent TX-RAMP Level 2
Certification and a litany of others including SOC 2, SOC 3, CSA
STAR, GDPR, EU-US DPF, and PCI-DSS.
CISA announced its Secure by Design Pledge at RSA Conference
today, punctuating the occasion with a symbolic signing of the
Pledge by executives of participating software vendors, including
Automox. Jason Kikta, CISO/SVP Product of Automox said, “We
committed to the pledge within a few hours of learning of it
because it was so easy to commit to something already baked into
our security culture. At Automox, we have been fans of CISA’s
Secure By Design initiative since the original was released last
year. It has long been incorporated into our security program as
well as in our community advocacy.”
Automox includes its best-in-class security capabilities for
every customer. Unlike many software vendors who charge more for
fundamental security features, Automox believes that foundational
protections like Multifactor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On
(SSO), and log access are in every customer’s best interest. “The
challenge for any security program is to achieve internal and
external confidence. By setting consistent and objective standards,
CISA’s Secure by Design pledge defines the fundamentals vendors
should deliver to ensure their products and customers are
protected. The Pledge enables vendors to earn confidence and
demonstrate that they have their customers’ best interests as their
top priority,” said Kikta.
Automox's commitment the the Pledge runs much deeper than its
symbolic signature. The company is sprinting to full compliance and
is already in the later stages of that work.
Kikta went on to say, “Today’s diverse blend of on-premise,
hybrid, and cloud architectures has led to a shift in exploitation
tradecraft. Malicious actors benefit from too many vendors using
cloud services as a way to obfuscate vulnerabilities. Those same
vendors also seek to maximize revenue by turning security
imperatives, like multifactor authentication and logs, into profit
centers. The Secure by Design Pledge gives the market an objective
mechanism to determine which vendors are acting as responsible
partners.”
