Saviynt, a leading provider of intelligent identity and access governance solutions, today announced it has successfully completed the Information Security Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) assessment. As an important validation for security vendors doing business with government agencies in Australia, the IRAP assessment confirms that Saviynt's Enterprise Identity Cloud (EIC) is assessed at the PROTECTED level. Validating the effectiveness of security controls offered by the Enterprise Identity Cloud for storing, processing, and communicating information up to the PROTECTED information classification level.
The IRAP program enables Australian government customers to validate that appropriate controls are in place for addressing the requirements of the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) produced by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). An independent IRAP assessor examined the Saviynt solution, including people, processes, and technology, against the requirements of the ISM.
"The IRAP assessment is the latest milestone in Saviynt’s rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region. "It allows us to provide our government and commercial Enterprise Identity Cloud customers in the APAC region with the confidence that their data is fully protected from unauthorized access when leveraging cloud services.”

Apiiro | January 04, 2023
Apiiro, the market leader in Cloud-Native Application Security, announced that its award-winning security platform is now accessible on AWS Marketplace.
Apiiro's solution intends to assist developers and security engineers in resolving significant risks across the software supply chain before launching apps to the cloud. Instead of a single vulnerability or misconfiguration, multiple isolated and unconnected findings are scattered throughout the source code, configurations, open-source packages, and cloud infrastructure that, when combined with appropriate context, form a Risk Story that attackers can exploit.
Its Risk Graph technology integrates these endless elements with actionable information to provide developers and security teams with an entirely new way to fix problems.
Apiiro has introduced a whole new approach to application security by offering complete visibility into code bases, analyzing risks from design to code to the cloud, and proactively addressing actual vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit before they even get released to the cloud.
By connecting to their source control managers via API, Fortune 500 businesses can cut operational costs and risks at scale while ensuring seamless deployment.
Now that it is accessible in the AWS marketplace, customers may deploy Apiiro's Cloud Application Security Platform through their AWS Marketplace accounts, enabling them to quickly secure everything they develop and deliver to the cloud by proactively resolving risks with actionable context.
About Apiiro
Apiiro is a Cloud Application Security Platform that provides comprehensive insight and actionable context to security and development teams to proactively fix risks before releasing them to the cloud. It also assists them in addressing threats throughout the software supply chain. Since its inception, the Apiiro Cloud-Native Application Security Platform has been deployed by developers and security experts in the world's biggest organizations to handle critical threats across more than 1 million code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructures.

Keeper Security | December 08, 2022
Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords, secrets and connections, today announced that the company has obtained StateRAMP Authorization at the Moderate Impact Level for its Keeper Security Government Cloud (KSGC).
The nationwide StateRAMP cybersecurity verification program promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across state and local governments by providing a standardized approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies. StateRAMP Authorization differentiates KSGC from its competitors as the best in class zero-trust and zero-knowledge security solution for state and local governments, as well as higher-educational institutions, to protect their passwords, data, and secrets.
StateRAMP Authorization enables these governments and organizations to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing by creating transparent standards and processes for security authorizations. It allows them to leverage Keeper's password management and cybersecurity platform on an institution-wide scale with confidence that the solution meets strict standardized security requirements. KSGC is hosted in AWS GovCloud (US), designed to host sensitive data, regulated workloads, and address the most stringent security and compliance requirements.
Keeper's StateRAMP Authorization comes on the heels of KSGC achieving FedRAMP Authorization at the Moderate Impact Level in August 2022. While StateRAMP Authorization typically takes two years to complete, KSGC's existing FedRAMP Authorization accelerated the certification. To receive FedRAMP Authorization, organizations must implement controls from 17 different control families that originate from National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53. Now, KSGC is the first and only FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized password management platform in the industry.
"We are proud to bring Keeper's password management and cybersecurity platform to StateRAMP Authorized status, and thrilled to be the first FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized password management platform. "KSGC's StateRAMP Authorization underscores our dedication to the highest standards of internal security controls and encryption. Keeper is eager to help state and local governments and higher-educational institutions protect their digital assets from ransomware, data breaches and other password-related cyberattacks."
Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-Founder of Keeper Security
Keeper provides government agencies with a human-centric cybersecurity solution that promotes adoption of password best practices, like the use of MFA, by employees and contractors. Keeper also promotes secure collaboration with encrypted record sharing that allows system administrators to regulate privileged access to files, as well as masking credentials. Keeper's zero-knowledge system architecture provides the highest levels of security and privacy. Encryption and decryption of data always occurs locally on the user's device, and only the encrypted ciphertext is stored in KSGC.
KSGC's FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorizations follow a White House Executive Order mandating zero-trust architecture and strong encryption, along with a draft memorandum by the Office of Management and Budget and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency mandating all federal agencies adopt a zero-trust security architecture by 2024. The memorandum specifically calls out password security requirements that KSGC facilitates, including strong password policies, the removal of a deprecated requirement to require special characters and regular password rotation, and the ability to compare user passwords against weak and breached data.
