June 27 2024 - 6:00AM
Action1, a provider of an integrated real-time vulnerability
discovery and automated patch management solution announced today
it has secured Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR)
Level 1 Certification from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the
world’s leading organization promoting the use of security best
practices within cloud computing and helping foster secure cloud
environments through education. Additionally, Action1 has signed
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA)
Secure by Design Pledge. These initiatives underscore Action1's
commitment to internal security and solidify its position as a
trusted vendor in the cloud-based patch management space.
“Action1 is a
cybersecurity-first company,” said Mike Walters, President and
co-founder of Action1. “Best practices in cloud security promoted
by CSA and CISA align perfectly with the core principles of our
operation. We think in terms not of ‘if’ we get hacked, but ‘when’
we get hacked, and we invest not in only basic cybersecurity
aspects but go beyond that.”
As Action1 has achieved
CSA STAR Level 1 successfully, it is now listed in CSA’s publicly
accessible registry. The STAR registry lists cloud solutions from
vendors that follow the strictest security and privacy controls,
facilitating users in identifying vendors dedicated to maintaining
data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CSA STAR
program is recognized as the industry’s most powerful program for
security assurance in the cloud.
Action1 is a cloud-native
patch management platform enabling enterprises to rapidly discover
and remediate vulnerabilities with a 99% patch success rate. It
helps understaffed IT teams save time and reduce costs by
streamlining third-party patching, including custom software, and
OS updates, all fully integrated with full feature-parity and
uniformity.
By signing CISA's Secure
by Design Pledge, Action1 has joined cybersecurity industry leaders
in a unified commitment to enhancing software security standards.
This pledge represents a significant step in ensuring that security
is a foundational element in software development and is part of
CISA’s global Secure by Design initiative, launched last year,
which implements the White House’s National Cybersecurity
Strategy.
These initiatives
exemplify the high security standards of the Action1 cloud-native
platform, which is also certified for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2
