PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BlastWave™, the pioneer in invisible software-defined perimeter solutions designed to truly protect critical infrastructure assets and applications, today announced a partnership with Brier & Thorn, a leading managed security service provider (MSSP). As a part of the agreement, Brier & Thorn will offer BlastWave's BlastShield™ solution to its global customer base across North America and Latin America.
Brier & Thorn advises global leaders on their most critical IT risk management issues
and opportunities including Global 500, global manufacturers, retailers, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, automobile manufacturers, and financial services."Our customers transmit, process, and store extremely sensitive trade secrets and intellectual property that are the centers of gravity for their business. This data must be secured against the growing threat of Ransomware and other threats without compromise. Brier & Thorn relies on market leading technologies for our service delivery," said Melissa Knight, CISO for Brier & Thorn. "We chose BlastWave because they provide all of this, reducing risk and introducing the least amount of friction to the business as possible, enabling our customers to easily segment their intellectual property and mission critical systems within the same network. BlastShield obviates the need for passwords for remote users who need secure access to data. Eliminating usernames and passwords prevent user-based attack vectors and lead to account takeover risks."
"Partnering with Brier & Thorn opens so many doors for BlastWave and will allow us to support top technology customers across Latin and North America," said Tom Sego, CEO BlastWave. "Working with Brier & Thorn's channel partners is mutually beneficial. We will allow users that scrambled to meet the remote and hybrid work requirements driven by the pandemic to significantly upgrade their performance and security posture from the flawed, legacy VPN stopgaps. BlastShield allows customers to quarantine their network and prevent malware spread and eliminate the annoying aspects of remembering usernames and passwords, while enforcing 100 percent MFA. We take zero-trust security to a whole new level."
BlastShield is the first all-in-one SDP patented solution that combines infrastructure cloaking and passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) for identity-based secure remote network access for organizations that have adopted a zero-trust security model. BlastShield enables organizations to hide on-premise and cloud workloads from outsiders and insider threats, concealing an organization's infrastructure from cyberattacks through software-defined microsegmentation without modifications to existing network fabric and hardware. BlastWave solves the problem that traditional VPNs and other complex end-point technologies have been unable to address by applying a zero-trust software-defined perimeter throughout the network architecture, not just at the endpoint, rendering the entire network invisible.
