AppOmni has formed a strategic partnership with Cisco to integrate its Zero Trust Posture Management (ZTPM) solution with Cisco’s Security Service Edge (SSE) technology, aiming to enhance security for SaaS applications.

This collaboration addresses critical security gaps at the application level, including misconfigurations, unchecked privileges, data leaks, and issues related to third-party integrations.

The partnership is designed to implement zero trust principles across the entire security landscape, from endpoints to applications, thereby improving visibility and monitoring of configurations and user behaviors.

AppOmni's SaaS Security Platform offers comprehensive scanning and monitoring capabilities to protect sensitive data from various threats while ensuring compliance reporting.

The effectiveness of AppOmni's solutions is underscored by its recognition from four of the Fortune 10 companies, highlighting its credibility in the SaaS security space.

Chris Sullivan, Director of Strategic Partnerships at AppOmni, emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving continuous security improvements, noting that this partnership introduces a unique approach to SaaS security.

As part of the SolutionsPlus Program, AppOmni has been added to Cisco's Global Price List (GPL), which simplifies procurement for customers and resellers, thereby enhancing availability.

Cisco's Value-Added Reseller (VAR) community will now have the opportunity to offer AppOmni solutions to their clients, further expanding the reach of these security offerings.

Brian Soby, AppOmni's co-founder and CTO, highlighted the significance of this partnership, particularly Cisco's extensive reach and the necessity of extending zero trust principles to SaaS applications.

This partnership builds on a previous relationship, as Cisco Investments backed AppOmni in 2022, indicating a long-term commitment and mutual trust between the two companies.

The integration of AppOmni's SaaS security solutions with Cisco's offerings is expected to benefit channel partners and customers by streamlining technology acquisition.
