Red Sift today announced that it has acquired global Attack Surface Management (ASM) innovator, Hardenize. The strategic move enables Red Sift to improve its existing security solutions to protect customers’ infrastructure. The integration of Hardenize enables Red Sift to gain a comprehensive view of an organization’s digital footprint, allowing customers to better understand and protect their entire critical attack surface area.
While email security remains one of the greatest attack vectors for businesses on the internet, organizations understand that it is only one of many that hackers will look to exploit. From email and domains to web applications and the network perimeter, attackers will take advantage of any and all vulnerabilities across the ever-expanding attack surface. Rather than treating key email security risks individually, organizations must have a comprehensive understanding of and visibility into any and all assets, as well as the ability to secure these using best-in-class remediation based on globally recognized standards and protocols.
Recognizing that organizations often are left to fend for themselves once vulnerabilities have been identified, this acquisition goes beyond enhanced discovery to provide customers with the necessary tools to shut down phishing and ensure ongoing compliance with email and web security protocols. Hardenize’s discovery capabilities will act as a magnifying glass into customers’ infrastructure, continuously identifying new and often unknown vulnerable assets across the attack surface. By enriching Red Sift’s discovery phase, customers can now uncover threats beyond email security, to discover lookalike domain abuse, and spot vulnerabilities across their network perimeter.
“This move gives us the purview to do more for cybersecurity than we ever have before, elevating the breed of solution available to enterprise businesses for full Attack Surface Management and resilience,” said Rahul Powar, CEO of Red Sift.
“We’re excited to join Red Sift in bringing this best-in-class security solution to the market,” said Hardenize CEO and SSL Labs creator Ivan Ristic. “Hardenize’s ability to align organizations’ digital assets to recognized security frameworks and standards complements Red Sift’s advanced email security capabilities to provide a single solution that protects organizations from being vulnerable to attackers.”
