SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blue Cedar Networks, the corporate app security and connectivity company, launched today to pursue its vision of securing and connecting app end points to backend data and application services for users across the extended enterprise. Blue Cedar was spun out from Mocana, and brings with it the proven Atlas platform — the industry’s most comprehensive corporate app security and connectivity platform — as the flagship of its product portfolio.
To compete in increasingly connected and competitive markets, organizations need to connect and protect corporate apps for their extended enterprise users — employees, contractors, suppliers, partners, resellers, allies, agents and others — who need to securely access and derive value from these apps in accordance with corporate policies and regulations.
“Today’s large organizations face the challenge of managing and securing the thousands of physical device endpoints, like laptops, desktops smart phones, wearables, and single-purpose devices, deployed and used throughout the extended enterprise,” said John Aisien, CEO of Blue Cedar Networks. “In reality, the corporate app — along with the data it manifests to support business decisions and execute business processes — is the new endpoint. With Blue Cedar, corporate IT security risk professionals can more easily and transparently adapt their security and mobility strategies to safeguard sensitive corporate apps and data across the extended enterprise.”
Executive Team
The Blue Cedar Networks executive team is comprised of industry veterans with experience across numerous startups and large technology firms. Heading the team is John Aisien, CEO, previously president and COO of Mocana. Aisien brings a wealth of experience as a successful enterprise software go-to-market executive, with stints running marketing and business development functions in both startup and large enterprise software firms. Other members of the team include Kevin Fox, CTO, Jon Mills, vice president of sales, Scott Bonnell, vice president of business development and Ranjeet Vidwans, CMO.
150+ Customers
Blue Cedar launches with more than 150 global customers, including marquee names in major verticals, such as financial services, insurance, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, government and health care.
“The app is now the ideal control point for enterprise data, and it is also the logical point where users in and around the enterprise can interact with this data,” said Matthew Recupito, chief security architect at Zurich Insurance. “With its Atlas platform, Blue Cedar Networks has staked out a clear position that the app is the logical endpoint that CISOs should protect.”
Blue Cedar Networks also intends to help customers meet their goals by growing and nurturing the current ecosystem of complementary, category-leading Atlas partners and developers. In addition to a network of reseller partners, Blue Cedar ISV partners include Unisys, Apperian, Appthority, Tangoe, CA Technologies and SAP.
