The AppViewX AVX ONE solution is one of the most advanced SaaS CLM and PKI platforms for complex hybrid multi-cloud environments supporting enterprise CLM, PKI, IAM, security, DevOps, cloud, platform and application teams. And with strong discovery, comprehensive visibility, complete automation and full control and governance of certificates and keys, AVX ONE enables enterprise-wide crypto-agility to rapidly respond to cryptographic changes, mitigate vulnerabilities, prevent outages and prepare for Post-Quantum Cryptography.
Piper Sandler is serving as financial advisor to AppViewX. And Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is serving as legal advisor to AppViewX. Evercore is serving as financial advisor to Haveli Investments. Ropes & Gray is serving as legal advisor to Haveli Investments. The terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
KEY QUOTES:
“Critical cybersecurity trends and Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices, such as Google and Apple’s truncated TLS rotation validity periods, as well as exploding quantum computing risks and post-quantum security, make our robust automated Certificate Lifecycle and PKI management SaaS platform imperative to all enterprises. This investment marks a major milestone in our company’s history and will allow AppViewX to further execute on our already vigorous growth and accelerate our global go-to-market and product strategies.”
