FinTech and Communications Leader, IDT Corporation partners with AccuKnox to deploy runtime security-powered CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) for IoT/Edge Security.
AccuKnox, Inc., announced that Telecom and FinTech Leader IDT Corporation has partnered with AccuKnox to deploy Zero Trust CNAPP.
Gartner’s predictions for the Internet of Things (IoT) security landscape in 2025 highlight the impact of AI Agent Abuse Leading to Security Breaches: By 2028, Gartner forecasts that 25% of enterprise security breaches will be traced back to the misuse of AI agents by both external and internal malicious actors. This underscores the need for enhanced security measures to monitor and control AI-driven activities. In response to the growing threats, by 2028, 40% of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are expected to implement technologies that autonomously track, oversee, or contain the actions of AI agents. This proactive approach aims to mitigate risks associated with AI-driven operations.
The findings underscore the necessity of implementing robust security measures as IoT technologies continue to be integrated across multiple industries.
AccuKnox runtime-powered CNAPP has the following differentiating features:
“We are thrilled to partner with a leader like IDT Telecom and deliver runtime powered Zero Trust CNAPP to secure their Edge/IoT Assets. We look forward to a great partnership with them,” said Nat Natraj, CEO, AccuKnox.
Securing enterprise assets, particularly those at the Edge and within IoT environments, is a strategic priority for IDT Telecom. Following a comprehensive proof of concept (POC), IDT Telecom selected AccuKnox for its innovative and robust Zero Trust security solution. AccuKnox’s KubeArmor leverages eBPF telemetry to dynamically generate precise Zero Trust security policies, employing Linux Security Module (LSM) technology for effective enforcement. This unique approach significantly enhances protection against both existing and emerging security threats.
“Choosing AccuKnox was driven by KubeArmor’s novel use of eBPF and LSM technologies, delivering automatic, scalable, and highly effective runtime Zero Trust security,” stated Golan Ben-Oni, Chief Information Officer at IDT Telecom. “Additionally, KubeArmor’s strong open-source foundation and active community support made them an ideal partner to bolster our cybersecurity posture in the face of evolving threats.”
AccuKnox provides a Zero Trust CNAPP Security platform that secures Public Clouds, Private Clouds, Edge/IoT & 5G assets. AccuKnox is funded by leading Cyber Security Investors like National Grid Partners, MDSV, Avanta Venture Partners, Dolby Family Ventures, DreamIT Ventures, 5G Open Innovation Lab, and Seedop. AccuKnox was formed in partnership with SRI International (previously Stanford Research Institute) and has seminal patents on different aspects of Zero Trust security. https://www.accuknox.com/
