Secure Solution for Security Expert - ActZero

ActZero's platform monitors detects and thwarts attacks in real-time, getting smarter every second. Their cybersecurity experts validate detected threats, advise customers of threats, and remediate the threat where possible. The experts recommend corrective action while feeding threat intelligence back to their machine learning models for continuous improvement.

A Demand for Secure CMS 

From a corporate point of view, security is the number one consideration regarding the procurement of software and services. ActZero needed the most secure website possible, while still allowing their editorial staff the freedom to create inspiring and compelling content in real-time. Previously, their website had been hosted on a traditional CMS with known vulnerabilities.

40% of the internet runs on WordPress, a system with many known (and emerging) vulnerabilities and attack vectors. The central problem with WordPress, and other systems like it, is how it poorly interoperates with user systems. Namely,  plugins.

A Reputation Threatened By Web Security 

ActZero's reputation and compliance posture require them to have top-notch security at every level of their business, including their website. Most CMS-controlled websites have attack vectors that are exposed by allowing real-time publishing and editing.

Providing Security and Accessible Editing 

Agility supports an approach known as static site rendering. This provides a separation between the website and the content editing layer, allowing the site to have very few attack vectors. 

Real-time Control With Agility 

 ActZero's content editors and marketing team are now able to utilize their OneLogin sign-on screen to authenticate within Agility. The corporate login rules configured by their IT team now carry through to the CMS automatically.

The website itself was implemented using Gatsby, a static site generator. The site is hosted without all the webserver vulnerabilities found in traditional CMS platforms.

What's more, the ActZero content team now has complete, real-time control of the content on the website, and can still manage pages and content throughout the site.

New Security Paradigm

Agility follows a modern approach to interoperability with external systems. Where traditional CMS platforms seek to bring integration inside a website's codebase, Agility maintains a distinct separation of content and your code. This provides developers with the ability not only to reuse the content in more places but more flexibility on how that content is presented.
