Company's CISO Named Corporate Winner by
BostonCISO ORBIE Awards; Receives Finalist Nod in 2024 SaaS Awards
for Second Consecutive Year
BOSTON, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Appfire, the leading global
provider of software that enhances, extends, and connects the
world's leading platforms, today announced it has received recent
recognitions for cybersecurity excellence. These recognitions
highlight the company's prioritization of security within Appfire
and on behalf of customers and partners. Appfire Chief Information
Security Officer Doug Kersten was
named winner of the Corporate category in the BostonCISO ORBIE®
Awards for outstanding cybersecurity leadership. The company has
also been named a finalist by the SaaS Awards for Best SaaS Product
for Communication, Collaboration or Conferencing.
This finalist nod builds on Appfire's momentum relating to
product leadership, as the company was named winner of the Best
SaaS Product for Communication, Collaboration or Conferencing
category in the 2023 SaaS Awards.
Maintaining a successful and competitive suite of collaborative
software for the enterprise also requires adherence to the highest
standards of security in every category. Today's threat landscape
is highly pervasive and ever-changing, requiring proactive
cybersecurity defenses, regulatory compliance, and data protection
for organizations to remain competitive within their respective
industries.
"Doug's ORBIE win, and the recognition from the SaaS Awards
program, reflects our commitment to successfully implement a strong
security culture at Appfire and remain at the forefront of
cybersecurity best practices," said Appfire Co-Founder and CEO
Randall Ward. "This would not be
possible without the efforts of Doug's entire team and so many
others at Appfire who work diligently to achieve the highest
standards of security and compliance for our organization, our
partners, and our customers."
Appfire puts the security of its stakeholders at the center of
its operations. In 2022, the company launched its award-winning
Appfire Trust Center, designed to connect customers, partners, and
prospects to the latest information on the security, privacy, and
compliance of Appfire's products and services. Following the launch
of the Trust Center, Appfire received four internationally
recognized cybersecurity certifications, including International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and ISO 27017, and
System and Organization Controls (SOC) SOC 2, Type I and SOC 2,
Type II. With this third-party accreditation and Trust Center
resources, enterprises that purchase any of Appfire's products are
assured in their ability to maintain a strong security posture
while keeping pace with evolving risks and meeting global
compliance standards industry-wide.
"As technology becomes more complex, so do the threats to its
security," said Appfire CISO Doug Kersten. "At Appfire, we maintain
an unwavering commitment to empowering our users with SaaS
solutions that are equally effective and secure. We meet this
commitment by ensuring our customers and partners have access to
the software they need to do their best work every day, without
sacrificing the integrity of their businesses or the safety of
their information. Taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity has
always been a pillar of our success at Appfire and these
recognitions are a well-deserved milestone for the team."
