Laminar, the data security platform, has achieved two important milestones in its relationship with AWS. Laminar became the first pure-play DSPM to be named an AWS Security Competency Partner in the category of Data Protection in March. In addition, Laminar’s DSPM solution received the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Ready Product designation in February.

To gain admission to both programs, which are administered by different teams of AWS solution architects, Laminar responded to a battery of questions about its product and underlying technology, submitted several customer case studies for review, and passed a rigorous technical validation audit.

The AWS Competency Program validates and promotes AWS partners who have demonstrated technical expertise and proven customer success in specialized areas, including various security use cases. Last year, the company introduced a new category within the Security Competency, Data Protection, at its AWS re:Inforce event, and Laminar is the first pure-play DSPM provider to earn this distinction.

In addition, Laminar is one of only 10 security software vendors to have achieved the Amazon RDS Service Ready Product designation.

The AWS Security Competency and Amazon RDS Ready Product designation deepen Laminar’s relationship with AWS. The company’s Data Security Platform is available on AWS Marketplace, and Laminar is a member of the AWS Partner Network.
