Award highlights Astrix's pioneering solution
in addressing a critical identity security gap in today's
enterprises
NEW
YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Astrix
Security, the enterprise's trusted solution for securing non-human
identities, today announced that it has been named a 2024 SINET16
Innovator Award winner. The SINET16 award identifies the most
innovative, compelling, emerging companies and technologies that
address cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.
SINET, an organization with the mission to accelerate
Cybersecurity innovation through public-private partnerships,
selected 16 winners from a pool of 230 applications from 13
countries this year. All companies are under $15 million in revenue, and the pool has become
more and more competitive since launching 15 years ago.
"Being named a SINET16 Innovator underscores the growing
awareness of the risks posed by non-human identities," said
Alon Jackson, CEO and cofounder of
Astrix Security. "Business leaders recognize the importance of
investing in NHI security as we've found that one in four
organizations are already investing in these capabilities and an
additional 60% plan to within the next twelve months. While NHI
security adoption continues to mount, Astrix is laser-focused on
closing this security gap by providing enterprises with clear
visibility and automated solutions to protect against evolving
threats like supply chain attacks and data leaks."
This recognition comes on the heels of Astrix releasing the
State of Non-Human Identity Security Survey Report, a survey
conducted with Cloud Security Alliance, that revealed a critical
security gap: organizations are significantly less prepared to
secure non-human identities (NHIs) compared to human ones. The
survey data shows that one in five organizations have experienced a
security incident related to non-human identities, and only 15%
remain confident in their ability to secure them. With NHIs
emerging as the largest identity blind spot, Astrix is designed to
help enterprises close this gap.
Astrix Security provides enterprise customers like Agoda,
Priceline, Netapp, and Figma, with the industry's first solution
that's purposely built to manage and secure non-human identities
and access. The solution's holistic visibility into all non-human
identities automatically detects and remediates over-privileged,
unnecessary, and malicious access to prevent supply chain attacks
and data leaks. The Astrix platform helps security teams seamlessly
remediate risky access with automated workflows integrated into
their organization's daily IT service management tools.
"We are honored to play a role in accelerating innovation in a
global marketplace by increasing the awareness of value-add
companies. We look forward to watching these companies continue to
mature as they progress on their amazing entrepreneurial journeys
and their goal to protect our critical infrastructures and national
security interests," said Robert D.
Rodriguez, Chairman of SINET.
