On August 14, Beyond Identity and TeamWorx Security announced a strategic partnership aiming to deliver a secure, standardized, and scalable approach to collective defense purpose-built for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. federal government.
The partnership brings together TeamWorx Security’s Hive-IQ platform, trusted by the DoD, U.S. Cyber Command and other US Government agencies, and Beyond Identity’s Dynamic Identity Defense platform with phish-resistant, device-bound credentials (DBC) and continuous risk-based enforcement of identity and device security trusted by critical infrastructure sector, Fortune 200 companies, and state and local governments. Together, the platforms form the new gold standard for secure human-to-human information sharing in mission-critical environments, ensuring that distributed defense teams can collaborate across agencies with zero doubts about participant identity and device vulnerabilities.
“Cybersecurity is a team sport because effective defense is anchored on collective information sharing and continuous security enforcement,” said Chris Anthony, CEO of TeamWorx Security. “When two or more trusted partners defend against cyber threats together, we create a new breed of intelligence and understanding that makes it much harder for cyber bad guys to be successful.”
“This collaboration with Teamworx Security strengthens our shared commitment to defending the U.S. and its allies against cyber threats. By protecting access to the vital Hive-IQ platform, we are helping safeguard the mission-critical information-sharing that underpins modern defense operations,” said Jasson Casey, CEO of Beyond Identity. “As a platform deployed in some of the most security-sensitive commercial industries, energy, finance, and technology, we’re excited to bring our battle-tested identity defense to the US Department of Defense and other federal agencies, including Coalition Forces and Allies.”
“This organic partnership realizes the transformative potential of public-private collaboration,” said Ligeia Zeruto, head of the government, aerospace and defense practice at Beyond Identity. “TeamWorx Security’s AI driven information-sharing platform and Beyond Identity’s protection in the form of an identity defense platform collaboration uniquely positions us to support the DoD’s mission for what can become a whole-of-government information sharing approach. Users already like working with Hive-IQ and they will love the absolute certainty of authenticated usership and logging into it without using passwords.”
Anthony added, “This partnership aligns our combined mission of contributing to a more resilient and effective cybersecurity ecosystem. Our partnership unlocks the ability for defense and government agencies to employ the trusted information sharing environment they need to operate at speed and scale.”
