Austin-based cybersecurity firm SecureIQLab has been selected as the exclusive testing and certification partner for Mplify's SASE validation platform. This designation cements the local company as the sole provider for evaluating the performance and security of Mplify's networking tools.

Why it matters

The partnership formalizes the testing protocols for SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) technologies, which businesses increasingly rely on to secure remote and cloud-based network traffic. As the industry scales, this move centralizes validation efforts through an Austin-based lab.

SecureIQLab is now the sole testing partner for Mplify following the announcement of this exclusive agreement. The certification program, which began its pilot phase in October 2023, now moves into a formal validation partnership.
