CloudKnox Named Winner in 2020 Black Unicorn Awards for Cybersecurity Companies Who Have the Potential of Being Valued at $1B
Summary
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CloudKnox Security, provider of the only cloud permissions management platform for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, today announced it was named a 2020 winner in the Cyber Defense Magazine Annual Black Unicorn Awards. The 2020 Black Unicorn award recognizes CloudKnox’s pioneering approach in protecting critical cloud resources from unmanaged vulnerabilities due to human and non-human identities with excessive high-risk permissions. While these vulnerabilities and risks vary widely between organizations, insider threats are consistently one of the chief obstacles faced. “ If left unmanaged, the permissions gap puts enterprises at risk as they expand their cloud footprints without establishing protocols and capabilities to properly assign, manage and monitor human and machine identity permissions across their cloud environments.” This award win comes on the heels of significant growth on multiple fronts for CloudKnox, including recent recognition as a Gartner Cool Vendor in IAM and Fraud Detection. " Were pleased to name CloudKnox as a winner among a small, elite group of cybersecurity industry leaders in our second annual Black Unicorn awards," said Judges Robert R. Ackerman Jr. of www.allegiscyber.com, David DeWalt of www.nightdragon.com and Gary Miliefsky of www.cyberdefensemediagroup.com To learn more about the CloudKnox approach that enables enterprises to enforce a least privilege posture across their hybrid and multi-cloud environments, please visit www.cloudknox.io.
