Stellar Cyber, which makes an open security operations platform, has announced a strategic partnership with zero trust vendor Netfoundry to make SecOps and compliance simpler and more robust. This integration expands access to connected tools and resources, further strengthened by NetFoundry joining Stellar Cyber’s Open Cybersecurity Alliance to enhance interoperability and security outcomes.
“Partnering with NetFoundry marks another step in our mission to expand the security capabilities of our platform and grow the Open Cybersecurity Alliance with best-in-class solutions,” said Andrew Homer, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Stellar Cyber. With nearly a third of the top 250 MSSPs and over 14,000 customers worldwide, the company has a wide channel presence.
“Gartner just released its first-ever Magic Quadrant for NDR, with Stellar Cyber recognized as the ONLY Challenger going up against the legacy incumbents,” Homer commented. “This is a powerful validation of our unique approach as the only AI-driven SecOps platform in the MQ – combining our native built Open XDR, SIEM, and NDR with threat visibility across both IT and OT networks.”
Cyberattacks grow more sophisticated every week, and Stellar Cyber’s AI-driven SecOps platform helps organizations detect and respond to attacks more quickly and effectively. Moreover, when combined with Stellar Cyber, NetFoundry’s universal identities take visibility and control beyond IP addresses. Enterprises get telemetry for every session with both the raw data and robust reporting. This includes the user, device and application – how much data, according to what authentication and authorization posture. All of this is independent of IP addresses, networking and infrastructure for IT, OT, IoT and AI use cases.
“We hear one thing in common from our customers – regardless if they are using NetFoundry for zero trust AI or secure access or OT microsegmentation – a need for simpler, identity-based visibility and control,” said Galeal Zino, NetFoundry’s CEO. “This integration with Stellar Cyber helps meet that need.”
Stellar Cyber enables human-augmented, autonomous SOCs and NetFoundry is the first AI-ready networking solution – natively providing identity, authentication and microsegmentation for all human, server and AI flows. Their award-winning open security operations platform includes NG SIEM, NDR / OT, ITDR / UEBA, Open XDR and Multi-Layer AI under one license. With this move to identity-based, universal visibility and control, identities and correlated user-device-application-data analytics replace IP addresses, enabling stronger and simpler compliance, operations and audits.
“While NetFoundry securely delivers the most sophisticated AI use cases, such as the use of AI and MCP in healthcare, NetFoundry can also be used to simply and securely deliver more common AI use cases,” Zino said. “In minutes, use NetFoundry to get a private AI connection, without the hassle of VPNs, or dependencies on IP addresses and NAT.”
The integrated solution is available immediately and will be featured in an upcoming joint webinar and industry event, providing demonstrations of its capabilities and benefits for security teams. It shows how this collaboration combines advanced, unified threat detection and response with zero trust to enable simpler operations, security and networking.
