HPE is building on its edge to cloud security strategy by snapping up Scytale, an open-source security platform that runs across on-premise, cloud and container-based infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Scytale is a San Francisco-based startup that looks at application-to-application identity and access management.<\/p>\n

The company was founded in 2017 by Sunil James, Emiliano Berenbaum, and Andrew Jessup. The three co-founders have built up a workforce hailing from cloud-native enterprises like AWS<\/a>, Duo Security, Google<\/a>, Okta, PagerDuty and Splunk.<\/p>\n

Scytale is also recognised as the founding contributor of the Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE) and SPIFFE Runtime Environment, along with other open-source projects under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.<\/p>\n

Announcing the purchase on Monday, David Husak, GM of HPE’s Cloudless Initiative, said that security will continue to play a fundamental role as the company progresses into its edge to cloud platform as a service strategy. Financial details of the acquisition have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

“We recognise that every organisation that operates in a hybrid<\/a>, multi-cloud<\/a> environment requires 100% secure, zero trust systems, that can dynamically identify and authenticate data and applications in real-time,” Husak said in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We also recognise that the open-source community, which every day advances an endless array of projects designed for an open, multi-cloud, micro-services driven world, are at the forefront of writing code that delivers true zero trusts, highly secure systems.”<\/p>\n

Scytale founder Sunil James said that he met with Antonio Neri before he became HPE’s CEO and that a discussion between the two left him with a stronger understanding of the company’s deep roots in helping customers bridge complex enterprise IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“This understanding was reinforced last year when I met Dave Husak and Dave Larson (I call them ‘the Daves’), two leaders within Hewlett Packard Labs,” James wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Scytale’s DNA is security, distributed systems, and open-source. Under HPE, Scytale will continue to help steward SPIFFE. Our ever-growing and vocal community will lead us. We’ll toil to maintain this transparent and vendor-neutral project, which will be fundamental in HPE’s plans to deliver a dynamic, open, and secure edge-to-cloud platform.” <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
