Option3 has announced the acquisition of Onclave Networks by ENIGMA, its cybersecurity platform focusing exclusively on Zero Trust, a new paradigm in security gaining prominence.
Onclave uses Zero Trust principles and methods used by the U.S. Department of Defense to dramatically reduce security breaches, decreasing attack surfaces, network complexity and operational costs. In acquiring Onclave, ENIGMA is able to secure devices, services and people across diverse environments.
“With this acquisition, Onclave becomes the foundation for the ENIGMA Zero Trust platform, with technology that is now also being adopted by customers such as the Defense Health Agency, White House Communications Agency and NATO,” said Manish Thakur, the Option3’s managing partner. “In an industry with many competing claims, Onclave stands out, having recently received the first ever ‘Authority to Operate’ awarded by a federal agency for its compliance with Zero Trust.”
Jim Taylor, the CEO of Onclave Networks, said, “We are extremely excited to be a foundational part of the ENIGMA platform. With Onclave’s technology, ENIGMA will address some of the biggest challenges facing Zero Trust, particularly extending it to older cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, Operational Technology, and other industrial control systems.”
Zero Trust has gained prominence in recent years, particularly with President Biden’s 2021 mandate requiring all federal agencies adopt it. But implementing Zero Trust has proved challenging. ENIGMA addresses many of these challenges, offering a growing array of purpose-built Zero Trust capabilities that have been tested at scale by some of the world’s most demanding users with major deployments now planned in the U.S. hospital system and global auto sector.
