Avistar.AI, a provider of identity controls and cyber risk management solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Milwaukee Cyber, a Wisconsin-based cybersecurity services firm. Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to strengthen the regional cybersecurity ecosystem while expanding access to comprehensive, enterprise-grade security services for organizations across the Midwest.
At the same time, the partnership aligns with a major milestone in the evolution of Avistar’s Astrolayb platform. The platform has now expanded to include native cloud scanning capabilities for both AWS and Microsoft Azure. As a result, organizations can conduct on-demand scans while automatically identifying and validating critical cyber insurance requirements such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Immutable Backups. These enhancements make it easier for businesses to gain visibility into risk, demonstrate control maturity, and close security gaps before they are exploited.
“This partnership represents our commitment to building robust cybersecurity infrastructure throughout the Midwest,” said Ivan Rahman, CEO of Avistar.AI. “By combining Avistar’s advanced identity controls and risk quantification capabilities with Milwaukee Cyber’s security services, we are creating a powerful solution for organizations looking to harden their security posture against increasingly sophisticated threats and meet evolving cyber insurance requirements.”

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and complexity, organizations are under mounting pressure not only to improve security, but also to prove it. Insurers, regulators, and enterprise stakeholders increasingly demand evidence-based security rather than surface-level compliance. This partnership directly addresses that challenge by uniting Avistar’s identity-first risk platform with Milwaukee Cyber’s hands-on security services.
“Cyber insurance requirements and threat landscapes are becoming stricter and more complex every year,” said Clint Laskowski, CEO of Milwaukee Cyber. “Partnering with Avistar.AI helps our clients clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of required controls such as MFA, privileged access, and immutable backups. This allows us to reduce friction and improve insurability while ensuring we aren’t just checking compliance boxes, but truly securing the environment.”
Milwaukee Cyber contributes deep experience in managed security services, compliance advisory, and incident response. By integrating those capabilities with Avistar’s continuous risk visibility and control validation, the partnership enables organizations to move from reactive security operations toward proactive, measurable cyber resilience. Together, the companies will deliver solutions that span identity protection, risk quantification, compliance readiness, and operational security support.

Beyond technology integration, the partnership reflects a broader investment in the Midwest’s growing cybersecurity community. The region continues to gain recognition as a center for cyber innovation, talent, and enterprise security development.
“The Milwaukee region is emerging as a significant hub for cybersecurity innovation,” added Ivan Rahman. “This partnership demonstrates the strength of our local ecosystem and our shared commitment to protecting businesses from evolving cyber threats.”
The collaboration is effective immediately. Both companies are now working jointly to support customers across Wisconsin, Illinois, and the broader Midwest, providing organizations with stronger identity controls, clearer risk insight, and more defensible security programs in an increasingly demanding threat and compliance environment.
