Research security firm expands offerings to secure modern applications against today’s evolving adversaries
July 24, 2024 – SEATTLE, WA – IOActive, Inc., the worldwide leader in research-fueled security services, today announced a partnership with Edgescan to provide its clients with access to more advanced vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to achieve higher security standards required to counteract today’s sophisticated threats.
Organizations are facing increasingly diverse and agile adversaries, an ever-expanding surface area vulnerable to attacks and stricter regulatory and cyber-insurance requirements. Today’s applications, from the core technologies, to the development process, to business usage, look and operate considerably differently than ever before, requiring organizations to evolve their security practices. As a result, enterprises are turning to security testing methodologies that fuse continuous vulnerability scanning and cyclical penetration testing to build safer, more secure products.
“As our clients’ internet accessible attack surfaces increase, they’re seeking new ways to efficiently elevate and confirm their security posture investments. Both automated vulnerability scanning and consultant-led security assessment have, for decades, been cornerstones to modern security strategies yet typically operate independently,” said Gunter Ollmann, Chief Technology Officer, IOActive. “Through partnership with Edgescan, IOActive is able to further assist businesses in their security transformation journey to modern continuous vulnerability visibility and security compliance practices and consistently maintaining that level throughout the year.”
Edgescan offers an award-winning software as a service (SaaS) cybersecurity platform that allows companies to view and map assets across their entire global attack surface, providing actionable and verified vulnerability data free of false positives. The partnership enhances IOActive’s ability to continuously designate an application’s risk exposure by ensuring all layers and complexities of an application are thoroughly tested.
“Edgescan’s partnership with IOActive, a company of remarkable pedigree, brings me great satisfaction,” said Eoin Keary, CEO and Founder, Edgescan. “IOActive truly understands the challenges we aim to address, including scale, accuracy, and continuity for both large enterprises and SMBs. Their depth of skill and research-driven approach, combined with our comprehensive exposure management and continuous testing solution, promises significant impact for our clients. I am certain and excited about this collaboration.”
