APTEC, a Cyber Risk Management, LLC company and leading provider of identity governance and access management services, today announced a partnership with Duo Security to help organizations add and manage strong two-factor authentication, protecting business critical data and other IT assets. Under the partnership, Duo’s scalable, cloud-based Trusted Access platform joins APTEC’s portfolio of identity-as-a-service (“IDaaS”) offerings, which will greatly strengthen the security and compliance of any organization.
“Cloud-based identity-as-a-service platforms are steadily redefining how commercial and government organizations take proactive control over disparate employees’ devices and access levels based on their identities,” said APTEC President and Founder, Aaron Perry. “Duo Security’s IDaaS experience and technology leadership make Trusted Access an ideal platform for enterprises’ rigorous requirements. Now our customers can benefit from APTEC and Duo’s combined expertise in seamlessly implementing and managing IDaaS programs across existing and expanding assets.”
“APTEC and Duo share the same vision in improving how organizations ensure trusted access to their critical applications and data. We are excited about the partnership and how we help customers together,” said Dug Song, CEO of Duo Security.
Two-factor authentication is a proven, superior approach to preventing remote compromises of business systems using weak or stolen credentials, such as employee names and passwords. These additional authentication factors make using compromised credentials near-impossible and significantly reduce the risk of data breaches stemming from impersonations of legitimate users. APTEC’s IDaaS offerings give customers the flexibility to extend centralized identity and access management controls across their entire range of users, devices and applications handling sensitive information.
“We’re excited about the partnership with APTEC and Cyber Risk Management,” said Matt Smith, Vice President of Worldwide Channels and Business Development at Duo Security. “We already share several customers who benefit from APTEC’s services, including their strong Oracle Access Manager practice. By joining forces, we deliver a broader trusted access solution to ensure identity and access for customers across the enterprise – from healthcare to education to the Fortune 500.”
With the latest IDaaS platforms now able to address a wider array of security, compliance, governance and other measures, it is crucial for enterprises to carefully plan and manage IDaaS implementations in order to realize the advantages resulting from greater flexibility, ease of administration and reduced complexity. APTEC excels at providing specialized IAM consulting and implementation capabilities to customers of all sizes across the healthcare, financial services, utilities, manufacturing, higher education and government sectors.
“APTEC has built an impeccable reputation by listening to our clients’ needs for fast, painless identity and access management and delivering what we promise,” Perry added. “We accomplish this by working with the best technology partners in the industry, like Duo, and drawing on our expertise and in-depth knowledge of customers’ operations.”
Today’s announcement expands APTEC’s already impressive portfolio of identity governance and access management solutions and services aligned with the industry’s premier technologies and platforms, as the company maintains in-depth partnerships supporting ForgeRock, Oracle, SailPoint and other leaders.
