PORTLAND, Ore., March 25, 2021 /PR Newswire/ -- Anitian, the leading cloud application security and compliance automation provider, announced today record year-over-year customer growth in a challenging year like 2020. The explosive growth is fueled by the rapid adoption of Anitian's pre-engineered cloud security platform as well as their expansion of new partners, markets, and products for cloud security and compliance. 

Anitian's Compliance Automation Platform continues to replace traditional, consultant-driven approaches to FedRAMP security and compliance. What takes FedRAMP consultants months or years to complete and costs millions of dollars, the Anitian pre-built platform can achieve in just weeks at a fraction of the cost. Anitian's automated and standardized platform accelerates cloud application delivery to achieve 80% faster time-to-market and time-to-revenue.

"2020 has been a transformational year for Anitian, and the industry as a whole," said Anitian CEO, Rakesh Narasimhan.
