SAN JOSE, Calif., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a cloud-driven networking company,
today announced it is the only cloud networking vendor currently
triple-certified to International Standards Organization (ISO)
criteria for its adherence to information security management
systems best practices and controls. ExtremeCloud™ IQ is now the
industry's most comprehensively certified cloud network management
platform, delivering customers the highest level of information
security and data protection available, removing risk, and
allowing them to move to the cloud with confidence. Extreme also
expanded its Regional Data Center footprint, allowing more
ExtremeCloud IQ subscribers around the world to keep their
data local and ensure compliance with data privacy and
sovereignty laws.
Key Facts:
- ExtremeCloud IQ is the only cloud network management platform
currently ISO 27017 and ISO 27701 certified, in addition to being
ISO 27001 certified since October
2019. It is the only ISO 27001 certified cloud network
management solution available on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud
Platform, and Microsoft Azure, as well as in private and
on-premises cloud environments.
- ExtremeCloud IQ is trusted to manage nearly 1.6 million
network devices each day and counting. Extreme was named the
fastest growing provider of cloud managed networking solutions
by Omdia in 2020.
- ISO 27701 aligns with The European Union General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and is the privacy extension of ISO
27001, setting a new standard for implementing a Privacy
Information Management System (PIMS). ISO 27017 is a statement of
compliance and also an extension of ISO 27001, adding controls
specific to cloud operations. These certifications, in addition to
Extreme's ISO 27001 certification – which defines a process for
establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving
Information Security Management Systems in an organization – enable
Extreme to provide customers with services that adhere to the most
up to date international best practices for information security
and data protection.
- As an additional measure, ExtremeCloud IQ has attained Level 1
status in the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Security Trust
Assurance and Risk (STAR) program. Through this program, customers
can view ExtremeCloud IQ in context with most security standards
worldwide, enabling customers to get a better sense of the security
of the platform in context with local regulations.
- Extreme has 17 Regional Data Centers (RDCs) around the world,
with a cloud footprint spanning 5 continents in 13 countries. Most
recently, Extreme announced the opening of RDCs in Toronto, Sao
Paulo, and Bahrain. The
company plans to open additional RDCs in London and Singapore in the coming months. Establishing
RDCs is an extension of Extreme's efforts to provide a highly
secure cloud management platform. Having a data center in closer
proximity enables customers to more easily adhere to local data
compliance laws and provides improved performance for local
organizations, as well as global organizations doing business in
each region.
Executive Perspectives
Bob Laliberte, Sr. Analyst & Practice Director, ESG
Global
"ESG research* validates that the workforce has
become more distributed and organizations are accelerating the
shift of applications and workloads to the cloud, including
adopting cloud-based network management as a top priority to
streamline network operations. However, these distributed
environments also increase security concerns. By earning additional
ISO certifications and providing choice in its cloud footprint,
Extreme delivers the flexibility enterprises need to adapt to the
new realities of working while assuring they are meeting
international standards and following best practices for customer
data protection."
John Abel, CIO, Extreme
Networks
"Enterprises must move to the cloud to thrive
in today's highly distributed working environment, but with the
increasing number of cybersecurity threats, it can be a risk to
move to an uncertified cloud platform. As the only networking
vendor to achieve three ISO certifications for adherence to
information security management systems best practices and
controls, Extreme is the only secure choice for managing your
network from the cloud."
