Summer of Security: Ivanti increases customer protection. Ivanti is expanding its efforts to secure the Everywhere Workplace - in response to the rapid increase in cyber attacks.
The security provider Ivanti is starting the "Summer of Security". The initiative is a reaction to the significant increase in cyber attacks in recent months. The company also supports US President Biden's Executive Order to improve cybersecurity. With the Summer of Security, Ivanti is strengthening its goal of securing the Everywhere Workplace.
Cybersecurity infrastructure is being optimized
Ivanti recently appointed Daniel Spicer as the new Vice President of Security. He will help optimize Ivanti's entire cybersecurity infrastructure. In the longer term, Ivanti plans to expand its product safety team. In addition, Ivanti wants to acquire companies that strengthen its security capabilities and also enter into partnerships with security providers in order to increase the reach of the Ivanti Neurons platform. With new product functions, the digital assets of companies in the Everywhere Workplace can be better protected. Ivanti also plans to work with industry leaders, including US government and private sector executives, to set new security standards for the industry.
“The attackers have refined their methods, so the security industry has to react to this development,” explains Spicer. “As companies and government agencies face increasingly sophisticated attacks, Ivanti wants to better protect its customers and mitigate threats as quickly as possible. This is how we develop secure products, show best practices and help organizations build a strong security foundation through a zero trust strategy. This also requires transparency and cooperation. "
Build a robust security network
Zero trust security enables organizations to build a robust security network. They do this by continuously verifying every asset and transaction before allowing access. The verification includes, among other things, the strong authentication of users, device testing and microsegmentation of networks. Zero Trust also takes into account the entire context of the user's environment before access is granted.
Current research shows that speed is of the essence: According to a study by Ivanti, 58% of respondents said that their organizations had suffered a ransomware attack in the past year. Of these, half (53%) reported that up to four weeks elapsed between the attack and full recovery. The willingness of companies to invest in zero trust technologies is clearly evident. Another Ivanti study shows this. 70% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) confirmed that their investments in more specialized biometric authentication solutions will increase over the next year. Strong authentication solutions such as multi-factor authentication, secure passwordless access, biometrics and the management of privileged access are among the most important pillars of a zero trust strategy.
