Combined SaaS offering solves critical
enterprise identity and access management and software supply chain
security challenges
AppViewX, the leader in automated machine identity management
(MIM) and application security, and Fortanix, a leader in
data-first security and pioneer of Confidential Computing, today
announced a partnership to offer cloud-delivered secure digital
identity management and code signing. Together the companies make
it easy to address critical enterprise security challenges with
comprehensive, robust and scalable platforms for certificate
lifecycle management automation and code signing.
“The collaboration between AppViewX and Fortanix not only
addresses the immediate security needs of enterprises but also
ensures a seamless and pure SaaS deployment of machine identity
management and secure code signing solutions,” said Ravishankar
Chamarajnagar, Chief Product Officer at AppViewX. “This synergy
provides joint customers with a unified, scalable, and efficient
approach to safeguard their digital assets, significantly enhancing
their security posture and operational efficiency in an
increasingly complex cyber landscape”.
By combining the AppViewX Digital Trust Platform and Fortanix
Data Security Manager (DSM), both companies complement their
current offerings for enterprise organizations via powerful SaaS
solutions that empower DevOps, CloudOps, SecOps and application
teams to help solve two critical cybersecurity use cases:
- Machine identity management – Organizations are struggling to
manage the massive increase of machine identities across complex
hybrid multi-cloud environments. Together AppViewX and Fortanix
simplify and streamline this process with a fully automated and
secure certificate lifecycle and key management solution.
- Software Supply Chain Security – While code signing is an
important component of ensuring software supply chain security,
recent mandates from the CA/Browser Forum for securely storing code
signing private keys is disrupting DevOps processes. AppViewX and
Fortanix are offering an end-to-end SaaS solution that simplifies
secure code signing and meets CA/Browser Forum requirements.
“Fortanix is delighted to collaborate with AppViewX to bring
together the strengths of our unified data-first security platform
with the identity management and code signing solutions from
AppViewX,” said Anuj Jaiswal, Vice President of Product at
Fortanix. “Together, we strive to deliver innovative, easy to use,
and integrated solutions that enable enterprises with efficient and
effective approaches to securing identities and providing
trust”.
The AppViewX Digital Trust Platform includes AppViewX CERT+,
AppViewX PKI+, and AppViewX KUBE+, for automating PKI and
certificate lifecycle management across complex hybrid multi-cloud
environments, and AppViewX SIGN+ for simplifying secure code
signing. AppViewX maintains a versatile stance, being entirely
agnostic to both Certificate Authorities (CAs) and Hardware
Security Modules (HSMs), ensuring unparalleled flexibility and
integration capabilities.
Fortanix DSM provides full lifecycle key management and
cryptography services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments,
simplifying provisioning and management while enhancing control of
encryption keys. DSM's REST APIs enable integration of the code
signing processes with existing developer tools, so keys and
certificates can be accessed without delays or disruptions.
Granular control options for signings can be used throughout the
different stages of the development cycle, with keys and
certificates kept safe in natively integrated FIPS 140-2 Level 3
HSMs. Audits can now be simplified with tamper-proof logs to help
organizations track the usage of their keys and certificates,
cryptographic strength, and all code-signing activities.
The AppViewX and Fortanix solutions are available from both
vendors, through joint channel partners, and in the AWS
Marketplace.
