Acsense Recognized by Gartner as a Sample Vendor in 2025 Hype Cycle for IAM Backup and Data Protection Technologies
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Acsense, the IAM Resilience platform built to safeguard identity infrastructure, today announced its inclusion as a Sample Vendor in Gartner's 2025 Hype Cycle for Backup and Data Protection Technologies, under the category of IAM Backup.2025 Hype Cycle for IAM Backup_Acsense
IAM Backup was recognized by Gartner as a high-benefit, emerging technology - addressing the growing need to protect and recover identity configurations across platforms like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Active Directory. Gartner's inclusion of this category reflects a shift: identity systems are no longer just access gateways - they are now critical infrastructure, with direct impact on uptime, compliance, and business continuity.
'Acsense was founded on a simple premise: identity platforms have become too important to fail,' said Muli Motola, CEO of Acsense. 'But backup alone isn't enough. What sets Acsense apart is that we manage the full lifecycle of IAM data - not just how you recover, but how you detect, control, and prevent disruptive changes before they happen.'
As the only IAM Resilience platform offering backup, recovery, change management, and posture control in a single solution, Acsense is helping enterprises eliminate IAM as a single point of failure. The platform enables:
Organizations across regulated industries, global enterprises, and Zero Trust adopters rely on Acsense to simplify DR planning, stay audit-ready, and build real operational continuity around their identity stack.

A surveillance vendor was caught exploiting a new SS7 attack to track people's phone locations
Security researchers say they have caught a surveillance company in the Middle East exploiting a new attack capable of tricking phone operators into disclosing a cell subscriber's location. The attack relies on bypassing security protections that carriers have put in place to protect intruders from accessing SS7, or Signaling System 7, a private set of protocols used by the global phone carriers to route subscribers' calls and text messages around the world. SS7 also allows the carriers to request information about which cell tower a subscriber's phone is connected to, typically used for accurately billing customers when they call or text someone from overseas, for example. Researchers at Enea, a cybersecurity company that provides protections for phone carriers, said this week that they have observed the unnamed surveillance vendor exploiting the new bypass attack as far back as late 2024 to obtain the locations of people's phones without their knowledge. Enea VP of Technology Cathal Mc Daid, who co-authored the blog post, told TechCrunch that the company observed the surveillance vendor target 'just a few subscribers' and that the attack did not work against all phone carriers. Mc Daid said that the bypass attack allows the surveillance vendor to locate an individual to the nearest cell tower, which in urban or densely populated areas could be narrowed to a few hundred meters. Enea notified the phone operator it observed the exploit being used in, but declined to name the surveillance vendor, except to note it was based in the Middle East. Mc Daid told TechCrunch that the attack was part of an increasing trend in malicious operators using these kinds of exploits to obtain a person's location, warning that the vendors behind their use 'would not be discovering and using them if they were not successful somewhere.' 'We anticipate that more will be found and used,' Mc Daid said. Surveillance vendors, which can include spyware makers and providers of bulk internet traffic, are private companies that typically work exclusively for government customers to conduct intelligence-gathering operations against individuals. Governments often claim to use spyware and other exploitative technologies against serious criminals, but the tools have also been used to target members of civil society, including journalists and activists. In the past, surveillance vendors have gained access to SS7 by way of a local phone operator, a misused leased 'global title,' or through a government connection. But due to the nature of these attacks happening at the cell network level, there is little that phone subscribers can do to defend against exploitation. Rather, defending against these attacks rests largely on the telecom companies. In recent years, phone companies have installed firewalls and other cybersecurity protections to defend against SS7 attacks, but the patchwork nature of the global cell network means that not all carriers are as protected as others, including in the United States. According to a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden's office last year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said as far back as 2017 that several countries, notably China, Iran, Israel, and Russia, have used vulnerabilities in SS7 to 'exploit U.S. subscribers.' Saudi Arabia has also been found abusing flaws in SS7 to conduct surveillance of its citizens in the United States.

Defense ETFs Surge Amid Wartime Buildups
War, what is it good for? Well, for one thing, these exchange-traded funds. Defense ETFs are surging this year, boosted by ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. Many are outperforming the broader market, with some pulling in more than $1 billion in inflows. Sector-specific ETFs are tricky beasts, though. Lacking broad exposure, they can often depend on market timing — a big no-no for advisors. But hey, a broken clock is still right twice a day. 'Security and defense ETFs have been highly successful in 2025,' said Bryan Armour, director of ETF & passive strategies research at Morningstar. 'Geopolitical tensions and European rearmament have driven returns higher.' READ ALSO: Vanguard Made a Single Acquisition. Now, It's Getting Sued and Referrals Are Still King, Even In the Era of AI Take Up Arms Wars and conflict may not be ideal on a human level, but they often become boons for certain sectors and businesses. The war in Ukraine, now in its third year, and increasing fears of Russian aggression have led NATO to boost defense spending targets to 5% of GDP for member nations by 2035. France plans to raise its military budget to $74.8 billion by 2027. As countries rearm, investors are pouring money into funds focused on the businesses behind the buildup. 'These strategies are no longer niche,' said Gavin Filmore, chief revenue officer at Tidal Financial. 'They're being recognized as core allocations amid rising geopolitical tensions and global defense modernization. The flows are reflecting that urgency.' Some of the top funds include: The Global X Defense Tech ETF (SHLD) is the standout defense fund, up more than 60% this year. As of the end of June, it had taken in roughly $1.65 billion in inflows, according to Morningstar Direct. The Themes Transatlantic Defense ETF (NATO) is up more than 40% this year, and took in about $33 million inflows in that time. Stratego. Despite strong returns and investor enthusiasm for defense ETFs, Armour said advisors should always consider the potential drawbacks, such as higher fees and concentration. 'Investing in a defense ETF makes sense based on the geopolitical changes of the past few months,' he told Advisor Upside. 'But that information is already priced in by now, so is it still a good time to buy?' This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.
