Xage Security has signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Secure by Design Pledge to show its commitment to taking measurable actions to meet the pledge’s goals of building cybersecurity into the design and production of technology products.
In a blog post published Tuesday on the company’s website, Roman Arutyunov, co-founder and senior vice president of products at Xage Security, wrote that the company has implemented initiatives to meet several goals outlined in the pledge: increasing the use of multifactor authentication, eliminating default passwords and reducing entire classes of vulnerability.
According to Arutyunov, the company advances multi-layer MFA and MFA for remote terminal units, programmable logic controllers and other legacy assets to protect such devices from cyberthreats.
He noted that default passwords provide an opportunity for cyber adversaries to gain access to target networks and that the company has initiated measures to address the risk of such passwords.
“Xage automatically rotates credentials on a per-user and per-asset basis, so that no default passwords or stale user accounts can be leaked and used against the organization by an attacker. Xage is deployed as an overlay so it can bring strong, auto-rotated credentials to devices that lack native functionality,” Arutyunov stated.
When it comes to protecting clients from whole classes of cyber vulnerabilities, he said the company works by “delivering internal segmentation, granular zero trust policy enforcement, and simple, rapidly deployed privileged access management capabilities.”
