Appgate Launches Technology Alliance Partnership Program to Help Customers Simplify and Accelerate Zero Trust Advancement

Appgate | September 08, 2022 | Read time : 02:50 min

Appgate
Appgate (OTC: APGT), the secure access company, today announced the launch of its Technology Alliance Partnership program and four of the program’s featured partners: Illumio, Menlo Security, CrowdStrike and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Appgate’s Technology Alliance Partnership program is designed to help organizations unlock greater performance from their cybersecurity investments and accelerate Zero Trust security adoption. This growing ecosystem of partners demonstrates Appgate’s vision and commitment to build purposeful product integrations that enable its customers to automate cybersecurity processes, optimize operations, reduce risk and improve the user experience.

“While many organizations have embraced the principles of Zero Trust security, the reality is their goals cannot be met with any single product, vendor or platform. Our Technology Alliance Partnership program is designed to make it easier for our customers to navigate this complex landscape, simplify deployments and get the most out of their cybersecurity investments. “We’re thrilled to bring more value to our customers through our partnerships with Illumio, Menlo Security, CrowdStrike and AWS.”

Barry Field, CEO, Appgate

Zero Trust requires all users, devices and workloads—whether inside or outside an organization’s network—to be authenticated, authorized and continuously validated before receiving access to applications and data. Appgate’s Technology Alliance Partnership program enables partners to integrate with the company’s industry-leading Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, Appgate SDP, through robust API integrations, clear documentation and dedicated support.

Together, Appgate and its technology partners offer comprehensive offerings that help their customers reach Zero Trust goals with ease and speed:

Illumio

The combination of Appgate SDP and Illumio Core, a leading micro-segmentation solution, enables joint customers to achieve full-compass dynamic Zero Trust segmentation. Appgate SDP ensures secure access to workloads via the network perimeter (north-south traffic) by creating user-to-workload access controls that are cloaked, fine-grained and dynamic. Illumio Core micro-segments workloads within the interior (east-west traffic) to eliminate excess workload-to-workload interconnectivity. When co-deployed and integrated together, these solutions immediately improve any organization’s Zero Trust posture.

“Security teams are turning to Zero Trust strategies to build resilience throughout their hybrid IT environments but find that no single vendor or solution can achieve their goals alone—an ecosystem-based approach is required,” said John Skinner, Vice President of Business Development at Illumio. “Both Zero Trust segmentation and ZTNA are important pillars of any Zero Trust strategy. Illumio is delighted to join forces with Appgate to deliver best-of-breed Zero Trust solutions in both categories to our customers to ensure minor breaches can’t grow to become disasters.”

Menlo Security

The combination of Appgate SDP and the Menlo Security Cloud Platform delivers a comprehensive secure access solution that safeguards all internet traffic, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and private networked resources. With this integration, enterprises can shift to a seamless, high-security Zero Trust framework with industry-leading data and threat protection, enabling users to browse the internet and access SaaS apps and private enterprise resources safely and securely.

“The evolution toward hybrid workforces and public and private cloud infrastructures requires organizations to deploy a new approach to ensure secure access to web and SaaS applications and confidential enterprise data without affecting the user experience or productivity,” said Sanjit Shah, Head of Strategic Alliances, Menlo Security. “Teaming with Appgate enables our joint customers to adopt a comprehensive and scalable ZTNA-based approach that improves deployment and management flexibility, while providing secure web access to application workloads across public and private clouds using Menlo’s Cloud Security Platform with Isolation Core and Zero Trust private access to hybrid resources and IT infrastructure via Appgate SDP.”

CrowdStrike

Appgate’s integration with CrowdStrike helps organizations reduce their attack surface and mitigate lateral movement. Appgate SDP gathers intelligence provided through CrowdStrike Falcon Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) to assess user, device and workload risk postures at the time of authentication and on an ongoing basis. This dynamic functionality makes it possible to leverage device health or behavioral changes provided by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to build policy controls that restrict or deny access, preventing lateral movement across the network.

AWS

Enterprises that utilize the strong security foundations provided by AWS can augment the network security of their environments with Appgate SDP, which leverages AWS-native capabilities like tagging and auto scaling to provide fine-grained access and enterprise-grade scale. Appgate SDP ensures that only authorized users connect to AWS and hybrid architectures with multiple encrypted tunnels. Appgate SDP is available in the AWS Marketplace.

Lookout Launches Mobile Endpoint Detection and Response for MSSPs to Close the Mobile Security Gap for Customers

Prnewswire | April 20, 2023

Lookout, Inc., the endpoint-to-cloud security company, today announced the availability of Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security, the industry's most advanced mobile endpoint detection and response (EDR) offering for managed security service providers (MSSPs). This solution enables MSSPs to deliver a complete turn-key program for identifying risk, protecting sensitive data and securing their customers' mobile devices. With Lookout's Mobile EDR, MSSPs can help organizations reduce the risk of a data breach through mobile phishing, ransomware and exploitation of device and app vulnerabilities. While businesses are adapting to the "new normal" of remote working and continuing to invest in mobile devices, many are still struggling with keeping up with mobile security. According to industry data, less than half of SMBs specifically have any form of mobile security in place1 – as a result mobile threats are on the rise year over year. In Lookout's recent Global State of Mobile Phishing report, 2022 marked the highest percentage of mobile phishing encounter rates ever, with an average of more than 30% of personal and enterprise users exposed to these attacks every quarter. Lookout also found that users on all devices – whether personal or work provided – are tapping more on mobile phishing links in comparison to just two years ago2. A Turn-Key Program to Close Security Gaps and Manage Mobile Risk Lookout's Mobile EDR program for MSSPs allows them to address these mobile security challenges head on – by partnering with Lookout, MSSPs have access to the Lookout mobile dataset of security telemetry, which is built on graph-based machine intelligence that analyzes data globally from more than 210 million devices, 175 million apps and ingests four million web URLs daily. In addition, Lookout's comprehensive Mobile EDR solution enables MSSPs to detect and block mobile phishing attempts; detect unauthorized camera and mic access through surveillanceware; detect and prevent credential theft and data exfiltration; detect device compromise; check all apps for risky behavior; and detect app and OS vulnerabilities. Lookout also helps MSSPs reduce resource constraints by decreasing their policy administration time by 80%. Other operational benefits for MSSPs include a 95% user self remediation rate and optimized battery consumption leading to less support tickets as well as built-in multi-tenancy for easier management. "As the threat landscape becomes increasingly sophisticated, businesses of all sizes must evolve their security strategy to keep up with and proactively address these threats, yet many do not have the security tools or skill sets in place to tackle this on their own," said Eva-Maria Elya, vice president, MSSP Sales at Lookout. "The MSSP ecosystem becomes a natural partner for them to turn to for help in managing their security posture, including identifying risk, ensuring compliance and safeguarding sensitive data across their device landscape. By extending our channel partner program to MSSPs, we help ensure these customers have access to the best security solutions delivered through the leading MSSP organizations." The Lookout Mobile EDR program for MSSPs is available today. For more information on how Lookout supports SMB customers and MSSPs, click here.
