Company Also Recognized as Innovation Sandbox Finalist at RSA Conference 2023
[New York, April 25, 2023] – Astrix Security, the enterprise’s trusted solution for securing non-human connections and identities, has been awarded three Global InfoSec Awards by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM):
- Most Innovative Cybersecurity Startup of the Year
- Market Leader SaaS/Cloud Security
- Cutting Edge Third-Party Cyber Risk
“As we’ve seen the countless supply chain attack headlines – from GitHub to Slack and Microsoft – there’s a clear need for securing non-human identities, specifically those that connect the enterprise to third-party app vendors,” said Alon Jackson, CEO and co-founder of Astrix Security. “Astrix continues to stay ahead of the demand – providing a trusted solution to ensure all app-to-app connections are secure by immediately detecting new connections and continuously analyzing their behavior in real time. Winning these awards is truly a privilege and we couldn’t be more proud to be a member of this incredible group of winners.”
Astrix offers the first purposely-built solution to extend Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and access management to non-human identities such as API keys, access tokens, service accounts, to ensure employees are securely connecting their organization’s core systems to third-party and internal apps, cloud services, and workflows. The Astrix Security platform is modernizing third-party risk programs for cloud first companies by automatically identifying and allowing rapid mitigation of risky connections related to suspicious third-party integrations, anomalous behavior (like suspicious source IPs), overly-permissive integrations, redundant applications, and insecure tokens.
“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Astrix Security is absolutely worthy of these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
Astrix Security was also recognized as a top 10 finalist for the RSA Conference 2023 Innovation Sandbox contest, an annual competition that recognizes the cybersecurity industry’s most promising young companies. Astrix presented their technology to a panel of renowned industry judges on April 24, 2023 at the conference in San Francisco.
