Companies to deliver integrated product
solutions, advanced insights, and reference architectures to
seamlessly implement a comprehensive security strategy
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), CrowdStrike, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD),
Netskope, and Proofpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFPT) today announced the
companies are coordinating to help organizations implement an
integrated, zero trust security strategy required to protect
today’s dynamic and remote working environments.
COVID-19 has ignited a rapid shift to remote work, moving people
and assets outside the confines of a traditional perimeter. This
evolving threat landscape has increased the opportunities for
targeted attacks, presenting security teams with a complex set of
challenges rooted in disparate systems and data, a wider range of
managed and unmanaged endpoints, and end-user access to hundreds of
applications required for everyday work. According to Okta’s
Businesses@Work (from Home) report, phishing attacks have increased
more than 600% since the end of February and peripherally, the FBI
issued a warning against these and other COVID-19 scams. Against
this high-risk backdrop, security and IT teams are finding
themselves urgently deploying stronger security solutions without
the practical guidance needed for execution.
Okta, CrowdStrike, Netskope, and Proofpoint are enabling
security and IT professionals with the knowledge and integrated
product solutions they need to manage security for distributed work
environments which are quickly becoming permanent due to the
pandemic. Together, these technologies represent four best-of-breed
solutions that form the core pillars of a modern, comprehensive
security architecture. The companies will offer integrated
solutions, advanced insights, and reference architectures, in
addition to implementation best practices, accounting for end-user,
device, network, and data security, demonstrating the fundamental
components of a modern zero trust approach.
“In the face of the changing way in which we work, it has become
unequivocally critical to adopt the right long-term security
strategies for a remote-first workforce,” said David Bradbury,
Chief Security Officer, Okta. “Data, assets, and employees are only
going to continue to shift further from the office perimeter,
making it the responsibility of security leaders to know and be
able to explain to their boards who has access to what information,
where it’s being stored, and how it’s being encrypted. By further
enhancing our integrations with CrowdStrike, Netskope, and
Proofpoint, organizations of any size can benefit from a complete
understanding of how to implement a modern, identity-centric, zero
trust security ecosystem to meet their immediate needs accelerated
by the pandemic, and arguably just as important, to future-proof
for what’s ahead.”
“One of the unexpected outcomes of COVID-19 was that it served
as a litmus test for where organizations stood in their digital
transformation journey. As ‘work from anywhere’ becomes the norm,
IT teams will look to minimize business interruptions and exposure
to threats with cloud-native solutions that scale quickly in any
environment,” said Amol Kulkarni, Chief Product Officer,
CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform was purpose-built in
the cloud to allow customers to easily and remotely deploy, manage,
and protect their workloads at scale irrespective of where their
workforce is located. We are proud to partner with cloud leaders
Okta, Proofpoint, and Netskope to assist IT teams in implementing a
zero trust strategy that uses the endpoint posture as a critical
piece in enabling conditional access and moves beyond the network
perimeter to secure dynamic work environments.”
“All of the flux and forced mobility as the result of the
COVID-19 pandemic means that security teams are evolving and
transforming rapidly to keep their sensitive data safe, while also
trying to understand what the ‘new normal’ looks like for running
their business outside of the traditional office and on-premises
security perimeter,” said Lamont Orange, Chief Information Security
Officer, Netskope. "Netskope’s security cloud platform provides
unrivaled visibility and real-time data and threat protection when
accessing cloud services, websites, and private apps from anywhere,
on any device. And we’ve extended our value to customers through
integrations with best-of-breed partners to protect endpoint
devices and intelligently extend identity-based governance and
compliance.”
“People are the primary targets for attackers, especially as
more users are working remotely,” said Ryan Kalember, Executive
Vice President of Cybersecurity Strategy, Proofpoint. “Zero trust
helps ensure the compromise of a single user doesn’t turn into a
much bigger breach. Our people-centric approach delivers protection
against today’s complex people-targeted attacks, defending against
phishing, malware, and cloud account compromise. We mitigate the
most critical security risks with deep visibility into highly
targeted users, as well as provide vital awareness training to
build user resilience.”
