Company's App-to-App Security Solution Recognized in Cyber Industry's Most Prestigious Startup Competition

NEW YORK, March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Astrix Security, the enterprise's trusted solution for securing app-to-app connectivity, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference™ 2023 Innovation Sandbox contest. Astrix Security will present its technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live in-person audience on Monday, April 24 at RSA Conference 2023 in San Francisco.

Since 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox has served as a platform for the most promising young cybersecurity companies to showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of "Most Innovative Startup." The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success and the top 10 finalists have collectively celebrated 75 acquisitions and received $12.5 billion in investments over the last 18 years.

"Every year the Innovation Sandbox showcases the best of the best in new cyber innovations, which is why being chosen is a testament to this new and critically important category Astrix is addressing," said Alon Jackson, CEO and co-founder of Astrix Security. "As we've seen with the recent attacks against household names like Slack, GitHub, and Microsoft, a new generation of supply chain attacks is on the rise, emphasizing the importance of ensuring third-party integration security. We're looking forward to showing everyone at the RSA Conference how the Astrix Security Platform is becoming a key capability in the enterprise's arsenal to reduce third-party risks by providing visibility and governance over all non-human identities."

The Astrix Security Platform provides a consolidated, comprehensive view of all the internal and third-party integrations within a business's environment, ensuring your core systems are securely connected to internal and third-party apps via API keys, OAuth tokens, service accounts, LCNC workflows and more. From Salesforce and Microsoft 365 to GitHub and Snowflake, Astrix's agentless, non-intrusive solution monitors core systems across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS environments and instantly detects and remediate attacks abusing non-human identities. Continuously reducing attack surfaces, the Astrix Security Platform exposes suspicious or malicious connection behavior, over-privileged or unused connections, and untrusted vendor connections.

"The RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox contest is one of the most exciting highlights of the week as we get to watch 10 of the cybersecurity industry's best and brightest up and coming stars shine on stage with provocative and cutting-edge ideas," said Linda Gray Martin, Senior Vice President, RSA Conference. "The demanding challenges and threats we face are only getting more complex in both size and severity and we need smart, determined and skilled individuals and companies to make an impact and help tackle what lies ahead."
