TrustMAPP Names Port53 'Partner of the Year' for Pioneering Work in Cyber Strategy Consulting

SAN FRANCISCO, January 18, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Port53, a leader in cloud-based cybersecurity and intelligence, today announced it has been named TrustMAPP's "Partner of the Year".

TrustMAPP recognized Port53's accomplishments in helping to drive acceptance among IT stakeholders of the need for cybersecurity risk-management framework models.

TrustMAPP specializes in cybersecurity performance management through risk assessments against specific frameworks and delivers the means to automate gap analysis and auditing through an advanced recommendation engine. The company's goal is to deliver continuous performance management of cybersecurity postures, allowing CISOs and IT Leaders to have a real-time view of the effectiveness of their decisions. The platform provides rich insights into the current state of an organization's threat posture. It automatically lays out the attributes of an ideal maturity level and the steps needed to attain it. The information is then presented in role-specific formats for security and business leaders.

The company's partnership with Port53 in early 2020 was designed to bring these capabilities to new markets around the world and provide IT and line of business with real-time, 360-degree views of the results of cybersecurity practices, policies and investments.

"At a time when IT budgets may be shrinking, the need for security investment has never been more urgent," said Allan Alford, CTO, TrustMAPP. "For example, there may be a critical gap in your compliance requirements that could render you obsolete among your competitors in the digital economy. So, the question becomes, 'How do you live up to your industry best-practice standards and your legal obligations while remaining agile in your operating market?' Port53 has allowed us to take our capabilities of risk management and performance road-mapping to new markets, such as the SMB market in the United States and the United Kingdom." 

"Port53 is delighted to have been recognized for our pioneering role in driving the adoption of comprehensive risk-management-based cybersecurity performance management," said Omar Zarabi, CEO, Port53. "We are heartened to observe the gradual acceptance by business leaders that ad hoc, reactive security postures are outmoded when applied against the capabilities of today's threat actors. Measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of your practices and your policies are the foundations of a secure digital estate, and we will continue to stand together with partners such as TrustMAPP to keep businesses, their employees, and their customers safe."

TrustMAPP's award comes just weeks after Port53 was named Global Cloud Security Partner of the Year by Cisco for Port53's Cisco Umbrella solution, which was also recognized as the industry leader in security efficacy by independent analysis company AV-TEST's 2020 "DNS-Layer Protection and Secure Web Gateway Security Efficacy" report.
