AlgoSec wins AWS infrastructure protection security badge

AlgoSec has achieved the Infrastructure Protection distinction in the Amazon Web Services Security Competency, recognising its work in securing and managing AWS environments.

The recognition places AlgoSec among AWS partners that have met the platform provider's technical and quality requirements for infrastructure protection.

The status reflects the company's work with organisations running cloud and on-premises systems and seeking more consistent oversight of security policy across those environments. AlgoSec focuses on application connectivity and security policy management in hybrid and multi-cloud settings.

Its software provides visibility and control across infrastructure spanning cloud services and internal systems. This includes support for customers using AWS security tools such as AWS Network Firewall and security groups as part of broader network security arrangements.

The AWS Security Competency programme is designed to identify partners with experience in specific areas of cloud security. In AlgoSec's case, the Infrastructure Protection distinction followed a technical validation process covering security expertise, architecture and customer outcomes.

Customer demand

The move comes as companies continue shifting business applications and infrastructure to public cloud platforms while trying to maintain governance standards across increasingly complex technology estates. Security teams often need to manage policy across multiple environments rather than within a single data centre or cloud service.

That challenge has driven demand for tools that map application dependencies, track connectivity and apply security controls consistently across hybrid networks. Vendors in this part of the market are increasingly positioning themselves around visibility, automation and policy enforcement across cloud and on-premises estates.

AlgoSec says the AWS designation strengthens its position with organisations building, migrating and operating workloads on AWS. It also helps customers identify the company as a partner with validated expertise in managing complex cloud and on-premises environments.

Dominic Kerr, Global AWS Partner Manager at AlgoSec, outlined the company's view of the market shift. "Achieving the AWS Security Competency is an important milestone. As more of our customers move critical applications and infrastructure to AWS, they need to maintain the same visibility, governance and control across increasingly complex environments," Kerr said.

Broader business

AlgoSec describes itself as a global cyber security company focused on automating application connectivity and security policy across hybrid network environments. It says more than 2,300 organisations use its products to secure critical workloads.

The company's platform is designed to help users identify business applications across multiple clouds and address security risks across hybrid networks. It also aims to give customers a single view of security and compliance issues and automate parts of security change processes.

The AWS partner designation adds another marker in a market where cloud security suppliers often seek third-party validation from major platform operators. For customers, such accreditations can serve as one filter when choosing software providers for infrastructure protection in AWS-based environments.

To gain the competency, AlgoSec completed AWS's validation process, demonstrating its security expertise, architecture and successful customer outcomes.
