Beyond Identity Accelerates Path to FedRAMP Certification with RapidFort, Slashing Time and Costs
Partnership fast-tracks access to government markets and simplifies compliance
SAN FRANCISCO, April 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RapidFort, the fastest growing cybersecurity company securing the global software supply chain, has partnered with Beyond Identity, a leading provider of identity and access management solutions, to reduce the time and costs of FedRAMP certification. By working together with RapidFort, Beyond Identity shortened the certification process by three months and cut associated costs by 50%, outperforming alternative approaches and cementing its credibility in the government sector.
"RapidFort was an excellent and comprehensive partner during our FedRAMP journey," says Borislav Ivanov, Engineering Manager, Site Reliability Engineering at Beyond Identity. "They cut the cost of image hardening and SSDLC efforts by 50%, shaved three months off our overall compliance timeline, and delivered outstanding support every step of the way."
Achieving FedRAMP certification is a crucial and complex process for any organization looking to provide solutions to the federal government, demanding extensive documentation, security testing, and ongoing compliance efforts. Beyond Identity wanted to streamline this process and reduce overall certification costs, all without overburdening its engineering team.
RapidFort played a critical role in helping Beyond Identity earn its certification, while achieving its budgetary and process goals in 3 key ways:
Simplified the compliance process with pre-hardened, near-zero CVE Curated Images aligned with NIST 800-70, FIPS 140-2, and 140-3 standards, establishing a secure foundation, and cutting through a significant portion of the initial compliance work.
Streamlined the benchmarking process with their automated scanning tools, ensuring Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) hardened applications.
Automatically generated the necessary compliance documentation, including Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), further reducing labor-intensive work.
"Our customers are developing cutting-edge security solutions for both the private and public sectors, so it's imperative that their offerings are approved for government use as quickly as possible," said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. "We're proud to be setting the industry standard for FedRAMP certification support, streamlining a traditionally formidable process, and strengthening the infrastructure that helps secure our nation."
RapidFort, already available through Platform One, Tradewind Marketplace, AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, and Carahsoft, provides a reliable and efficient pathway for organizations looking to enter the federal marketplace and drive growth in the government sector.

Aim Security Launches Aim Labs with Elite Researchers from Google and Israel's Unit 8200 to Advance AI Security
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aim Security, the fastest-growing AI Security Platform, today announced the launch of Aim Labs, a new advanced vulnerability research division dedicated to uncovering and mitigating the most sophisticated threats targeting AI technologies. Led by former Google leaders and top alumni from Israel's elite Unit 8200, Aim Labs unites a rare combination of deep AI research and advanced cybersecurity expertise to drive innovation and set new standards for real-time defense through the proactive sharing of high quality threat intelligence. In concert with the launch, Aim Labs also released groundbreaking research detailing the first-of-its-kind 'zero-click' attack chain on an AI agent. The critical vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot, dubbed 'EchoLeak', allows attackers to automatically exfiltrate sensitive and proprietary information from M365 Copilot—without any user interaction, or reliance on specific victim behavior. The attack is initiated simply by sending an email to a target within an organization, regardless of sender restrictions or admin configurations. Aim Labs worked closely with Microsoft's Security Response Center to responsibly disclose the vulnerability and issue a fix. It is the first AI vulnerability to receive a no-action CVE from Microsoft (CVE-2025-32711). "AI is fundamentally re-writing the security playbook. EchoLeak is a reminder that even robust, enterprise-grade AI tools can be leveraged for sophisticated and automated data theft," said Itay Ravia, Head of Aim Labs. "This discovery underscores just how rapidly the threat landscape is evolving, reinforcing the urgent need for continuous innovation in AI security—the very mission driving Aim Labs.' Aim Labs will serve as Aim's dedicated research hub, tackling the unique security challenges introduced by AI adoption across critical sectors including banking, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, and defense. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies, the Aim platform's unique runtime detection capabilities will be leveraged by the Aim Engine to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities and exploitation methods in real-time. Through continuous threat discovery and openly sharing cutting-edge research and best practices, Aim Labs will empower organizations to confidently and securely harness the power of AI. 'As AI becomes integral to business operations, organizations face unprecedented risks related to data exposure, supply chain vulnerabilities, and emerging threats like prompt injection and jailbreaks,' said Matan Getz, CEO and Co-founder of Aim Security. 'Aim Labs is our commitment to staying ahead of these evolving threats by fostering continuous innovation and sharing actionable insights with the global security community.' Further Aim Labs research can be found on the Aim Labs website.
