SecureW2 Wins Digital Certificate, Network Security, and Passwordless Solution Categories in 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
13 Mayo 2024 - 7:01AM
SecureW2, a comprehensive passwordless security platform provider,
today announced it has been named the winner of the 2024
Cybersecurity Excellence Awards in the Digital Certificates,
Network Security, and Passwordless Solutions categories. The annual
awards honor cybersecurity vendors that demonstrate leadership,
innovation, and excellence in all areas of security and
technologies.
The increased sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks
exploiting the weaknesses of credential-based authentication has
led to a rising demand for passwordless authentication.
Certificate-based authentication (CBA) uses digital certificates
based on cryptography to verify a person’s identity, computer, or
other device to grant access to a network or resource. Certificates
prevent hackers from stealing credentials over-the-air and via
social engineering. Since certificates are non-exportable and
locked to the machines they were issued to, they enable systems to
require Device Trust. Enforcing Device Trust allows organizations
to thwart attacks where hackers have phished credentials and/or
bypassed MFA, significantly reducing the entry points for threat
actors to exploit.
SecureW2 allows organizations to leverage real-time security and
compliance data from identity and management infrastructure
including Azure, Okta, Intune, and Jamf to dynamically automate and
authorize access for Wi-Fi, Apps, VPN, and Desktop Logon. With
customers from small and medium-sized businesses to large
enterprises, SecureW2’s cloud-native architecture has enabled
millions of users and devices to adopt a Zero Trust security model
powered by modern certificate-driven passwordless security. The
platform has become increasingly popular by offering both an
improvement in end-user experience, as well as time and cost
savings for IT and security teams. SecureW2’s platform includes
fully managed Cloud PKI, RADIUS Authentication, and device
onboarding services and provides a foundation for simple and
effective certificate-driven security.
“We’re honored to have won all three categories of the
Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Bert Kashyap, CEO, SecureW2.
“IT teams everywhere are burdened by the rising cost and complexity
of securing networks and resources, often made more complicated by
legacy infrastructure and the difficulty that using passwords
securely brings. These awards underscore our commitment to helping
organizations everywhere eliminate credentials, better protect
their network, and make both admins and users happy with the
connected experience, no matter where they are.”
“We congratulate SecureW2 on being recognized as an award winner
in the Best Passwordless Solution category of the 2024
Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, CEO of
Cybersecurity Insiders and founder of the 600,000-member
Information Security Community on LinkedIn, which organizes the 9th
annual Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “With over 600 entries
across more than 300 categories, the awards are highly competitive
and their achievement reflects outstanding commitment to the core
principles of excellence, innovation, and leadership in
cybersecurity.”
Founded in 2014, SecureW2 recently announced its first funding
round with an $84 million investment from global software investor
Insight Partners. The company also recently expanded its
passwordless certificate-based infrastructure access to include
application security access driven by the expansion of Microsoft's
Azure CBA's capabilities. It also released certificate-based ACME
device attestation with the Apple ecosystem allowing organizations,
for the first time, to incorporate a new and increased level of
Device Trust provided by Apple’s Managed Device Attestation.
