Galaxy Asset Management and State Street Global Advisors Join Forces to Introduce Investors to The Next Evolution of Digital Asset Investing

Published

on

First-movers in asset management seek to serve the digital asset marketplace end-to-end.

NEW YORK and BOSTON, June 26, 2024 /CNW/ – Galaxy Asset Management1, an affiliate of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) and one of the world’s largest digital assets and blockchain investment managers, and State Street Global Advisors, the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), today announced they are collaborating to bring investors the next generation of digital asset based strategies that will offer exposure to companies involved in the digital asset space, going beyond cryptocurrencies and bitcoin.

This collaboration of market-leading, global asset managers is designed to bring investors the newest innovation in digital asset investing. By combining the strengths of two of the biggest brands and first-movers, State Street Global Advisors and Galaxy Asset Management will provide investors access to the $2.4 trillion digital asset ecosystem through manager-directed strategies.

“We believe that the digital assets landscape is so much more than the single crypto components and that crypto native companies are best equipped to understand that ecosystem and its correlation with financial markets,” said Anna Paglia, Chief Business Officer at State Street Global Advisors. “We are pleased to be working with Galaxy to educate investors about the role digital assets can play in a diversified portfolio, and provide the opportunity to participate in the next level of growth and innovation for the digital asset ecosystem,” she added.

Institutional and retail interest in digital assets has surged since the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs. However, investors are also seeking exposure to this growing asset class through investment options beyond pure spot bitcoin. We believe this is where the next level of growth is for the digital asset ecosystem.

“Since Galaxy was founded, active management across the full ecosystem of digital assets and crypto companies has been a core competency,” said Steve Kurz, Global Head of Asset Management at Galaxy. “By partnering with State Street Global Advisors and utilizing our combined expertise, we believe we are in a strong position to make digital assets more accessible to the broader investment community through the creation of new ETFs offering exposure to digital assets.”

The expectation is that State Street Bank and Trust would provide administrative and accounting services for the new digital assets ETFs that State Street Global Advisors and Galaxy jointly develop pursuant to this collaboration.

Keeper Security Launches Integration With Wiz to Remediate Critical Cloud Vulnerabilities

Published

on

By

With new integration, Keeper’s identity security platform remediates vulnerabilities discovered by Wiz, enabling closed-loop protection across cloud environments.

CHICAGO, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security and Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, today announces a new integration with Wiz, a leading cloud and AI security platform that is now part of Google Cloud. Joining the Wiz Integration Network establishes Keeper as a remediation engine for identity security vulnerabilities discovered by Wiz, closing the loop between cloud security detection and active risk resolution. When Wiz identifies an identity-related vulnerability, spanning human users, machine identities, AI agents and database accounts, it automatically surfaces the finding in Keeper’s Cloud Security dashboard, where security teams can review and remediate each issue directly within KeeperPAM®.

As cloud environments grow more complex, organizations face an expanding attack surface driven by the rapid proliferation of Non-Human Identities (NHIs), autonomous AI agents and over-privileged service accounts. Wiz surfaces these risks with unmatched cloud visibility and Keeper provides joint customers with an automated, trusted path from discovery to remediation.

“Finding a vulnerability is the first half of the battle,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “By integrating with Wiz, Keeper helps customers rotate compromised credentials, enforce privileged access management and reduce over-permissioned identities, turning Wiz’s detection power into faster, more decisive risk reduction. This is the future of cloud security – detection and remediation working as one, giving security teams a clear path from vulnerability discovery to resolution across the identities and workloads that matter most.”

“We’re happy to welcome Keeper to the Wiz Integration Network,” said Oron Noah, VP of Product, Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. “Together, we’re helping customers connect cloud risk findings with privileged access controls, making it easier to move from discovery to remediation. By bringing cloud visibility and access management into a unified workflow, teams can better secure both human and machine identities at scale.”

At the heart of the integration is a real-time workflow that transforms Wiz’s Issues into Keeper-driven remediation actions. When a Wiz customer enables the Keeper integration, Wiz scans the cloud environment for identity security vulnerabilities within Keeper’s remediation scope. Security teams can then select a finding and execute the appropriate remediation action through KeeperPAM:

Rotate compromised credentials and vault updated secretsBring unmanaged accounts under PAM governanceReduce excessive privileges for users, service accounts and IAM rolesMap Wiz Issues to existing PAM records or onboard new resourcesSubmit resolutions back to Wiz to close the loop on each finding

This tight integration bridges the gap between cloud security detection and identity security remediation, giving security teams a single, closed-loop workflow. Rather than manually triaging Wiz Issues and separately executing remediation steps in Keeper, KeeperPAM works alongside Wiz by automatically receiving identity-related Issues and streamlining the remediation steps. For teams, this results in accelerated Mean Time To Remediation (MTTR) and a dramatically reduced window of exposure before a vulnerability can be exploited.

The integration is especially powerful in AI-native environments, where autonomous agents and service accounts can rapidly accumulate excessive permissions across cloud infrastructure. Wiz’s AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP) detects over-privileged AI agents, insecure service configurations and other AI-native risks. Keeper serves as a designated remediation engine, enforcing least privilege policies and enabling just-in-time access controls for AI agents in response. Together, they secure the full AI lifecycle from code to runtime, without requiring manual intervention from security teams.

Key benefits include:

Streamlined Identity Remediation: When Wiz discovers an identity security vulnerability, Keeper takes action – rotating compromised credentials, enforcing PAM controls and reducing excess privileges – streamlining the steps between detection and resolution.Closed-Loop Security Workflow: Connect Wiz’s industry-leading cloud and AI vulnerability detection directly to Keeper’s privileged access management platform for a complete detect-to-remediate pipeline that operates at cloud scale.Accelerated Mean Time to Remediation: By accelerating response to identity vulnerabilities at the moment of discovery, organizations dramatically shrink the window of exposure and reduce the risk of breach escalation.Comprehensive Identity Coverage: Remediation scope covers the full range of identity types, including human users, machine identities, AI agents and database accounts, ensuring no privileged entity goes unmanaged across cloud environments.

KeeperPAM, Keeper’s cloud-native privileged access management platform, unifies password, secrets and connections management with zero-trust network access, endpoint privilege management and remote browser isolation in a single solution. Built on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture, KeeperPAM provides real-time visibility, automated credential security and AI-powered session monitoring to help organizations prevent breaches and maintain compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

By connecting detection directly to remediation, Keeper and Wiz give security teams the confidence that cloud risks are not just visible, but actively resolved. KeeperPAM’s zero-trust architecture ensures every remediation action maintains a verifiable chain of custody – from Wiz’s initial finding through to Keeper’s corrective action – supporting both continuous compliance and audit readiness.

Keeper’s integration with Wiz is available now. Review the full release notes in the Keeper documentation.

Whether you’re monitoring a crowded short, tracking institutional accumulation, validating an investment thesis, or understanding how professional money managers are allocating capital, speed and breadth of coverage matter. This dataset delivers on all of them.”
