Acquired Data Solutions (ADS), a technology and engineering solutions provider, has announced a new partnership with Georgia-based Assert Security, a provider of advanced security test automation solutions. The partnership will expand ADS’ automated security tools, ensuring its customers’ internet-connected devices are secure, around the clock.
Compliance laws, particularly with the federal government, continue to evolve, and the new capabilities that ADS and Assert Security bring together will ensure this need in the market is filled. “We proudly join forces with the talented team at Assert Security as we unveil this new capability to our customers,” ADS’ CEO, Steve Seiden said. “There is a huge opportunity to provide organizations with proactive solutions to keep their HTTP devices secure. Many Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) devices control major, large-scale utilities and services, where compromises would bring massive and widespread negative impacts. At ADS, we are committed to bringing the best in available technology to ensure our clients are prepared and ready for what lies ahead.”
“Industry estimates indicate that there are currently between 50 and 70 billion HTTP devices in the worldwide IOT space alone and these are all-too-often vulnerable to hacking and compromise,” Steve Millar, CEO/Co-Founder of Assert Security said. “The nature of the rapidly-evolving software industry means that what was safe yesterday isn’t guaranteed today. Automation is essential to keeping software asset inventories secure around the clock and ensuring this process is conducted at-scale to grow along with the organizations they serve.”
