CYBER PATROL When cybersecurity company Fortra asks companies to name the top 5 most plaguing security concerns facing their organization this year, the top two remained the same from 2024: phishing and malware. Due to the explosion of sites, tools and services leveraging emerging technologies such as GenAI, it’s not surprising that “evolving technology” leaped to one of the primary security threats of the coming 12 months. AireSpring announced that it’s achieved SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA certification. This certification affirms AireSpring’s dedication to protecting customer data, upholding industry standards for security and privacy and meeting the enterprise need across diverse industries, including healthcare, said the company. The certification process evaluates an organization’s adherence to rigorous trust services criteria (TSC), as set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This includes key areas such as security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. AireSpring’s certification demonstrates the company’s robust measures for data protection, including encryption controls, intrusion detection, user access authentication and disaster recovery, ensuring customer trust and operational excellence. Demonstrating HIPAA compliance also underscores AireSpring’s commitment to safeguarding sensitive health information. The certification ensures AireSpring meets national standards for data security, providing healthcare organizations and related industries with confidence in its secure handling of their protected health information. Stellar Cyber and Sophos announced a strategic integration that brings together Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform with Sophos’ advanced Sophos Endpoint and Sophos Firewall. The integration provides organizations with streamlined visibility across their entire security ecosystem, enabling faster detection and response to emerging threats, said the companies. The partnership enables security teams to leverage Sophos’ AI-powered threat intelligence and automated protection in tandem with StellarCyber’s ability to consolidate and analyze data from across the security stack. The combination enhances the productivity of security operations centers (SOCs), allowing teams to focus on what matters most: protecting their organizations. AireSpring Achieves SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA Certification Stellar, Sophos Partner on Unified Threat Detection and Response JumpCloud continued its identityfirst momentum by acquiring Stack Identity, a next-generation identity security and access visibility platform. Stack Identity offers cutting-edge data analytics technology that helps reduce key risks in securing workforce access, especially in remote or hybrid work. Customers will be able to detect unmonitored and unauthorized access pathways that most IAM tools miss, said the company. The technology deepens JumpCloud’s existing and planned capabilities in identity governance and administration (IGA), privilege access management (PAM), identity security posture management (ISPM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR) and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM). “Stack Identity’s world-class team and advanced data analytics technology will accelerate our ability to productize the billions of data signals our platform generates each month,” said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief technology officer, JumpCloud. “This will enable new forms of access control, improved identity visibility and assurance that the right people have the correct access and entitlements every time.” JumpCloud Acquires Stack Identity Top 5 Security Risk for 2025 18 CHANNELVISION | JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2025 ctured Hybrid Full Time in Office 2024 2025 ons currently have in place Days Required in Office per Week er the most important dor lock-in ere are no ernatives Multi-vendor are more challenging to manage ourselves, we need a partner to help us While controls might be better, sometimes this doesn’t represent the best velue The pricing isn’t always clear Le. what is included and what is extra Majority cloud, minority on-premises 44% 100% Cloud-based technology nothing on premises) 17% 25% 28% Average = 2.78 days 15% 20% 25% 30% 5% 32% Targeted live or on-demand training Clearly stated objectives 16% 13% Source: CompTIA, 2025 Difficulty changing workflows 25% What are the top 5 security risks facing your organization in the next 6-12 months?
