KIRKLAND, Wash. — May 7, 2024 — Adaptiva has been recognized as a winner of a prestigious Global InfoSec award for Patch and Configuration Management, reaffirming Adaptiva's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that safeguard organizations against evolving threats.
"It's an honor to be recognized for our leading patch and configuration management offering," said Anne Baker, CMO at Adaptiva. "Adaptiva has long been at the forefront of endpoint management innovation. This award underscores the trust we've earned across the cybersecurity and IT industry for safeguarding our clients from bad actors and helping them address vulnerabilities they have."
The Global InfoSec Awards, hosted by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), represent the pinnacle of recognition in the cybersecurity industry. For twelve years, CDM has been at the forefront of honoring InfoSec innovators worldwide. Winning this accolade amidst stiff competition and under the scrutiny of esteemed judges underscores the significance of this accomplishment. The judging panel comprised CISSP, FMDHS, and CEH certified security professionals who meticulously evaluated submissions based on a variety of criteria.
“Adaptiva embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
Based on research conducted by Adaptiva and the Ponemon Institute, approximately 60% of organizations require a minimum of two weeks to initiate patch deployment, thus leaving their systems vulnerable to exploitation. This underscores the lag in human response to the multitude of threats posed by adversaries. Adaptiva’s OneSite platform and suite of products deliver IT and cybersecurity leaders a fully automated approach to speeding the continuous delivery of software, patches, and configuration updates across their organizations' endpoints.
"Quick action is necessary to eliminate risk from vulnerabilities, but the complexities of enterprise systems can make patching fast a challenge due to scale and fear of disruption," added Baker. "This underscores the critical need for organizations to have real-time visibility into their patching and the ability to promptly pause or roll back patches as needed to prevent any potential issues."
