The Identity Authority commits to enhancing
product security within a year alongside some of the largest global
software companies
Saviynt, a leading provider of cloud-native identity and
governance platform solutions, announced today that it has
voluntarily committed to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure by Design pledge. It is among one
of the first 100 companies that pledges to enhance product security
within a year, alongside industry giants like AWS, Microsoft, IBM,
and Google. This move further validates Saviynt’s commitment to
power and protect the world at work.
“Identity is the front door to get into an organization. Our
customers trust our robust security to protect over 50 million
identities within sectors like energy and utilities, healthcare,
finance, retail, and transportation,” said Akshay Sivananda, Chief
Information Security Officer at Saviynt. “We are grateful to CISA
for calling on the industry to raise the bar when it comes to
keeping organizations secure. It was an easy decision to publicly
sign this industry pledge because it’s important that we, along
with the software manufacturing community, get this right as a
group to protect companies and end consumers from the bad
guys.”
Saviynt is dedicated to protecting the data under its control
and providing a secure environment for its customers. The company’s
security program currently provides safeguards that follow industry
best practices to secure its customers’ sensitive information –
from initial product development and platform architecture to data
transmission and storage, including regular employee training and
physical security.
To continue delivering the highest level of security for its
customers, Saviynt has pledged to work over the next year to
demonstrate measurable progress towards these seven concrete goals,
including multi-factor authentication (MFA), default passwords,
reducing entire classes of vulnerability, security patches,
vulnerability disclosure policy, CVEs, and evidence of
intrusions.
“At Saviynt, these have always been areas of focus, as these
goals should be table stakes for any software producer. Committing
to this pledge dovetails nicely with our current security strategy
and strengthens our overall security posture, ultimately
translating to reduced risk for our customers,” said Sivananda.
CISA’s global Secure by Design initiative, launched last year,
implements the White House’s National Cybersecurity Strategy by
shifting the cybersecurity burden away from end users and
individuals to technology manufacturers who are most able to bear
it. Collectively, these commitments will help protect Americans by
securing the technology that our critical infrastructure relies
on.
