A AppOmnia leader in SaaS security, today announced a significant partnership that combines the Zero Trust Posture Management (ZTPM) with Cisco’s Security Service Edge (SSE) suite of technologies to enable zero trust principles at the application layer in security-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. The combined solution offers organizations end-to-end zero trust, from endpoint to application, and significantly improves security in complex SaaS installations, with improved visibility and monitoring across all aspects, from configurations to user behaviors. With a secure environment for all cloud-based SaaS applications, companies can seamlessly implement zero trust principles to protect data from endpoint to SaaS.
“We are honored to partner with Cisco to extend zero trust to SaaS for organizations around the world. Cisco is one of the largest companies in the world, and this partnership gives us a new level of access to a huge global customer base,” said AppOmni co-founder and chief technology officer Brian Soby. “Just as Cisco Security Service Edge provides users with an exceptional user experience and protected access from any device to anywhere, AppOmni’s Zero Trust Posture Management capabilities resolve critical application-level issues such as misconfigurations in access controls , unchecked privileges, data leaks, and neglected third-party integrations.”
AppOmni perfectly complements Cisco’s outstanding technology capabilities and market leadership, and the partnership brings AppOmni’s differentiated approach to SaaS security to Cisco customers and partners. As part of this innovative partnership, AppOmni has also been selected to join a privileged group of independent software vendors (ISVs) on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL) as part of the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program. This agreement expands the long-standing relationship between the two companies (Cisco Investments supported the company in 2022) and offers a range of benefits to channel partners and customers. While the two companies’ technologies are perfectly complementary, the expansion of Cisco’s Zero Trust offering to include comprehensive SaaS security and GPL inclusion greatly simplify and accelerate the technology acquisition process for mutual customers. Additionally, Cisco’s community of Value-Added Resellers (VAR) will be able to extend AppOmni solutions to their customers as part of the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program.
“This complex operating environment demands continuous improvement, and we believe this can only be achieved with optimal collaboration, and that is exactly what this partnership delivers,” said Chris Sullivan, director of strategic partnerships at AppOmni. “At AppOmni, we have worked hard to create a unique approach to SaaS security and develop an excellent reputation for technology leadership and customer service. Cisco Secure Access Service Edge leverages Zero Trust Network Access principles to enforce strict access controls based on user identity and context. AppOmni perfectly complements this strategy at the application layer, and this combination represents the first complete application of zero trust principles to secure SaaS deployments.”

**Interview with Brian Soby, Co-founder and CTO of AppOmni**
**Editor**: Thank you for joining us today, Brian. Your recent partnership with Cisco is creating quite a buzz in the SaaS security space. Can you explain the significance of this collaboration?
**Brian Soby**: Thank you for having me. This partnership is a game-changer for SaaS security. By combining AppOmni’s Zero Trust Posture Management capabilities with Cisco’s Security Service Edge technologies, we’re able to extend zero trust principles into SaaS applications effectively. This means organizations can achieve end-to-end security, significantly enhancing their ability to monitor configurations and user behaviors while mitigating risks like data leaks or misconfigured access controls.
**Editor**: That’s impressive. What specific benefits do you see for organizations adopting this combined solution?
**Brian Soby**: Organizations can expect improved visibility and monitoring across their entire SaaS ecosystem. By integrating our technologies, we simplify the implementation of zero trust principles, which is critical in today’s complex operating environments. This partnership not only enhances security but also provides a better user experience, supporting the needs of businesses operating across multiple platforms and locations.
**Editor**: You mentioned that this partnership offers companies a new level of access to a global customer base. How do you see this impact the market landscape for SaaS security?
**Brian Soby**: With Cisco being one of the largest technology companies worldwide, our collaboration opens doors for AppOmni to reach a far broader audience than ever before. It allows us to bring our innovative approach to SAS security to Cisco’s extensive customer network. Additionally, being included in the Cisco Global Price List means our solutions will be more accessible for organizations looking to enhance their security posture quickly.
**Editor**: Chris Sullivan, your director of strategic partnerships, noted that this agreement reflects a commitment to continuous improvement in a complex operating environment. Can you elaborate on how the two companies will achieve this?
**Brian Soby**: Absolutely. Both AppOmni and Cisco recognize that robust security requires constant evolution and collaboration. With our combined technologies, we’re not just addressing current security challenges, but we’re also able to adapt and innovate in response to emerging threats. Our partnership is centered on developing solutions that anticipate future security needs, helping organizations stay one step ahead in safeguarding their data.
**Editor**: Thank you, Brian, for sharing these insights. As organizations navigate their security strategies, what advice would you give them regarding SaaS application security?
**Brian Soby**: My key advice would be to prioritize a zero trust approach in your security strategy. Understand that securing data in the cloud is different from traditional methods. Ensure you have visibility into all access points—like APIs and configurations—and don’t overlook user behavior. Collaborate with trusted partners, like AppOmni and Cisco, to enhance your security framework and adopt a proactive strategy to protect your assets.
**Editor**: Great points, Brian. Thanks again for your time. We look forward to seeing how this partnership unfolds in the SaaS landscape.
