STOCKHOLM & PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 9, 2025--

Outpost24, a leader in exposure management and identity security, today announced the acquisition of Infinipoint, a specialist in device identity, posture validation, and secure workforce access. The acquisition marks Outpost24’s entry into the Zero Trust Workforce Access market and enhances its identity security division, Specops, by laying the foundation for a unified approach that evaluates both the user and the device before access is granted.

As organizations advance their Zero Trust strategies, authentication alone is no longer enough. MFA and SSO confirm who the user is, but they do not validate the security of the device being used. In hybrid environments where employees, contractors, and partners rely on a mix of corporate and unmanaged devices, this gap has become a significant source of risk. Ensuring that only secure, compliant devices can access critical systems is now essential to reducing credential misuse, preventing lateral movement, and maintaining regulatory assurance.

Organizations will benefit from the combined strengths of Specops’ unrivalled authentication and Infinipoint’s device identity and posture expertise, gaining a unified, context-aware approach to workforce access. This will allow organizations to evaluate both user and device trust at the moment of access, strengthening Zero Trust adoption while improving compliance and operational efficiencies by leveraging Infinipoint’s unique self-service and auto remediation capabilities – across any device and any identity provider.

“With the strategic addition of Infinipoint’s unique capabilities to the Specops platform, we are setting a new benchmark for Zero Trust Workforce Access with a holistic security layer that ensures every access attempt is validated across both the person and their device,” stated Ido Erlichman, Chief Executive Officer of Outpost24. “This acquisition strengthens our identity security portfolio and supports our strategy to help customers reduce risk across every stage of the access journey.”

Shirona Partem, Managing Director of Specops, added:
“For many organizations, securing access requires supporting both password and passwordless authentication. Infinipoint’s device identity and posture verification complement both models, giving customers stronger assurance that access originates from a trusted user on a trusted device. This addition enhances the Specops portfolio and broadens how we support organizations in protecting their workforce.”

Commenting on the acquisition, Ran Lampert, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Infinipoint, said:
"We are excited to join the Outpost24 family, and bring device identity and posture enforcement to a wider global audience. Together, we are setting the new standard for Zero Trust access, combining user and device validation into a seamless security fabric that eliminates historic access vulnerabilities. This powerful integration delivers the true promise of Zero Trust, giving our customers the confidence to scale their businesses globally with secure, friction-free access for every employee, every time."

The acquisition underscores Outpost24’s commitment to advancing its exposure management and identity security capabilities and strengthens its role in delivering end-to-end visibility and control across identities, devices, and the external attack surface.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan was assessing damage Tuesday and cautioning people of potential aftershocks after a late-night 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused injuries, light damage and a tsunami in Pacific coastal communities.

At least 33 people were injured, one seriously, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. Most of them were hit by falling objects, public broadcaster NHK reported.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told reporters an emergency task force was formed to urgently assess damage. “We are putting people’s lives first and doing everything we can,” she said.

At a parliamentary session Tuesday, Takaichi pledged the government would continue its utmost effort and reminded people they have to protect their own lives.

The 7.5 magnitude quake struck around 11:15 p.m. in the Pacific Ocean, around 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of Aomori, the northernmost prefecture of Japan’s main Honshu island. The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake at 7.6 magnitude and said it occurred 44 kilometers (27 miles) below the surface.

A tsunami of up to 70 centimeters (2 feet, 4 inches) was measured in Kuji port in Iwate prefecture, just south of Aomori, and waves up to 50 centimeters struck other communities in the region, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. NHK reported the waves damaged some oyster rafts.

The agency lifted all tsunami advisories by 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said about 800 homes were without electricity and Shinkansen bullet trains and some local lines were suspended in parts of the region in the early hours of Tuesday. East Japan Railway said it is aiming to resume bullet trains in the region later Tuesday.

Power was mostly restored by Tuesday morning, according to the Tohoku Electric Power Co.

About 480 residents sheltered at Hachinohe Air Base and 18 defense helicopters were mobilized for a damage assessment, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said.

About 200 passengers were stranded for the night at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, NHK reported. Part of a domestic terminal building was unusable Tuesday after parts of its ceiling cracked and fell to the floor, according to the airport operator.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority said about 450 liters (118 gallons) of water spilled from a spent fuel cooling area at the Rokkasho fuel reprocessing plant in Aomori, but that its water level remained within the normal range and there was no safety concern. No abnormalities were found at other nuclear power plants and spent fuel storage facilities, the NRA said.

JMA cautioned about possible aftershocks in the coming days. It said there is a slight increase in risk of a magnitude 8-level quake and possible tsunami occurring along Japan's northeastern coast from Chiba, just east of Tokyo, to Hokkaido. The agency urged residents in 182 municipalities in the area to monitor their emergency preparedness in the coming week, reminding them that the caution is not a prediction of a big one.

Monday's quake occurred just north of the coastal region where the magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami in 2011 killed nearly 20,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

“You need to prepare, assuming that a disaster like that could happen again," JMA official Satoshi Harada said.

Smaller aftershocks were continuing Tuesday. The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 6.6 and later a 5.1 quake in the hours after the initial temblor.
