Strata Identity’s Maverics Orchestration Platform

Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced the availability of the Maverics Identity Orchestration platform in AWS Marketplace. This listing makes it easy for customers to test and deploy Maverics, as well as directly procure it within AWS Marketplace.

The AWS Marketplace makes Strata’s Maverics Platform more accessible to enterprises looking to migrate from legacy identity systems to more secure and flexible cloud identity providers (IDPs) without rewriting any code. Meanwhile, Strata’s modernization Orchestration Recipes manage and automate the complex identity relationships and processes associated with moving from outdated IDPs like Oracle Access Manager, SiteMinder, and others, to AWS Identity, Okta, Microsoft Azure, and more.

“Strata already allows organizations to modernize to cloud identity systems without rewriting applications, and we are committed to making the adoption of the Maverics Identity Orchestration platform as easy as possible,” said Eric Olden, CEO and Co-founder of Strata Identity. “The availability of Maverics in AWS Marketplace extends our ability to reach new customers while allowing them to seamlessly apply pre-negotiated contract funds towards acquiring and deploying Maverics.”

Strata’s Maverics Identity Orchestration Platform abstracts identity from apps so any application can be migrated to any cloud IDP — regardless of whether it speaks modern identity protocols. It enables customers to:

  • Replace any IDP with any other IDP without refactoring

Maverics creates an Identity Orchestration abstraction layer (identity fabric), which lets organizations quickly modernize any app’s identity — even LDAP-bound apps — without rewriting code.

  • Fine-tune control settings with flexible, conditional access

With Maverics, administrators can easily enforce temporary or permanent conditional access based on geography, job role, department, etc., to allow for the phased deployment of a new IDP across the enterprise.

  • Eliminate risk

If unintended outcomes occur, Maverics makes every change easily reversible in seconds without outages. It also supports the coexistence of different IDPs to allow for phased migrations and multi-IDP use cases.

  • Create frictionless access for users

Maverics makes it possible to quickly integrate new IDPs with existing apps creating little to no downtime for end users.

The Manufacturing Sector Experiences More Attacks in the Cloud than Any Other Industry

PR Newswire: | January 19, 2024

Netwrix, a cybersecurity vendor that makes data security easy, today revealed additional findings for the manufacturing sector from its survey of 1,610 IT and security professionals across more than 100 countries. According to the survey, 64% of companies in the manufacturing sector suffered a cyberattack during the preceding 12 months, which is similar to the finding among organizations overall (68%). However, it turned out that the manufacturing sector experiences more cloud infrastructure attacks than any other industry surveyed. Among manufacturing companies that detected an attack, 85% spotted phishing in the cloud compared to only 58% across all verticals; 43% faced user account compromise in the cloud as opposed to 27% among all industries; and 25% dealt with data theft by hackers in the cloud compared to 15% for organizations overall. "The manufacturing sector relies heavily on the cloud to work with their supply chain in real time. This makes their cloud infrastructure a lucrative target for attackers — infiltrating it enables them to move laterally and potentially compromise other linked organizations, as happened to one the world's top meat processing companies. Credential compromise or malware deployed via a phishing email is just the beginning of the attack," says Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix. "The attack surface in the cloud is always expanding, so it's critical for manufacturing companies to adopt a defense-in-depth approach," adds Ilia Sotnikov, Security Strategist at Netwrix. "First, they must rigorously enforce the principle of least privilege to limit access to sensitive data, which ideally includes just-in-time access to eliminate unnecessary entry points for adversaries. They also need to gain deep visibility into when and how critical data in the cloud is being used so that IT teams can promptly spot potential threats. Finally, they need to be prepared to minimize the damage from incidents by having a comprehensive response strategy that is regularly exercised and updated."

Since 2006, Netwrix solutions have been simplifying the lives of security professionals by enabling them to identify and protect sensitive data to reduce the risk of a breach, and to detect, respond to and recover from attacks, limiting their impact. More than 13,500 organizations worldwide rely on Netwrix solutions to strengthen their security and compliance posture across all three primary attack vectors: data, identity and infrastructure.
