Maximizing Astrix’s Development Velocity & Security with Naviteq’s DevOps for Cloud

Astrix Security is pioneering Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security, protecting the most overlooked attack surface in modern enterprises—service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps and more. With 45,000 NHIs per 1,000 employees and rising AI adoption, these identities hold privileged, ungoverned access to critical Cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments.
Astrix helps leading enterprises such as Workday, NetApp, Priceline, and Figma manage NHI risk with continuous discovery, posture management, threat detection, and automated remediation—securing both business and engineering environments. With the rise of AI Agents, Astrix’s solution has become essential for companies looking to securely and responsibly embrace the AI era.

Scaling securely while maintaining agility

At first, Astrix built a strong core team of backend engineers with deep expertise in managing infrastructure. However, as the company grew, it became evident that existing processes were not optimized for new joiners, making onboarding and operational efficiency a challenge. Recognizing the need for a more streamlined approach, Astrix saw that bringing in a DevOps expert company was crucial to supporting its growth and ensuring long-term scalability.
The company needed a way to scale its cloud infrastructure efficiently without compromising on security or development velocity. With a growing demand for streamlined operations and expert DevOps support, Astrix began searching for a DevOps partner who could provide the expertise needed to optimize infrastructure and drive growth.

Why Astrix chose Naviteq

When evaluating potential DevOps partners, Astrix’s VP of R&D, Ofek Amir, turned to the Israeli CTO community for recommendations. Naviteq ranked among the top three providers, and after a thorough evaluation—including referral calls and team interviews—Astrix confidently selected Naviteq as the right partner to support its growth.

The solution

Naviteq partnered with Astrix on two key levels:

1. DevOps tech lead consulting – Serving as Astrix’s go-to resource for every challenge or new project, ensuring the team received top-tier guidance on infrastructure decisions and DevOps best practices from the start.

2. DevOps roadmap & hands-on implementation – Actively improving infrastructure, automation, and processes across Cloud, CI/CD, User Management, and the entire development stack to enhance efficiency and scalability.

Today, Astrix works closely with one of Naviteq’s top DevOps engineers, who is fully embedded in the team, collaborating seamlessly like an internal member. With a proactive approach, Naviteq continuously supports, improves, and pushes the infrastructure forward, ensuring smooth development workflows and enhanced operational efficiency.

Naviteq introduced several key solutions that enhanced Astrix’s cloud infrastructure, automation, and security practices, ensuring long-term scalability and efficiency.

• WS infrastructure development – Implementation of managed AWS services using AWS CDK to enhance scalability and efficiency.

• Kubernetes transition – Consulting, proof-of-concept, and project planning to facilitate a smooth migration.

• Automation of user management flows – Optimization of processes to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort.

• Production troubleshooting & incident management – Proactively addresses infrastructure issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring stability.

Naviteq’s impact was immediate, thanks to early knowledge sharing and strategic guidance. From the outset, Astrix received direct contributions from Naviteq’s CTO, who played a key role in shaping the DevOps strategy and onboarding process. This strong foundation enabled the embedded senior DevOps engineer to become a key contributor within one to two weeks, accelerating infrastructure improvements and increasing efficiency. The collaboration delivered:

1. Improved security posture

Naviteq's implementation of best practices in cloud security strengthened Astrix’s infrastructure, reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing compliance.

2. Operational efficiency gains

By automating key DevOps processes, Astrix’s engineering team significantly reduced time spent on manual tasks, enabling them to focus on core product development.

3. Optimized performance & architecture

Infrastructure improvements resulted in more efficient resource allocation, faster deployment times, and a more scalable environment.

4. Positive team feedback

Astrix’s internal teams recognized the tangible improvements Naviteq delivered, expressing strong appreciation for the partnership and the smooth collaboration between teams.

Looking ahead: future growth & Kubernetes expansion

With dedicated DevOps professionals consistently pushing infrastructure and development processes forward, Astrix plans to continue its partnership with Naviteq in 2025. While maintaining the current collaboration, Astrix anticipates expanding the partnership as it transitions to Kubernetes and multi-cloud infrastructure, welcoming additional DevOps experts to support its evolving needs.

Naviteq’s deep technical expertise, proactive approach, and seamless integration into Astrix’s team have made them an invaluable partner in scaling cloud infrastructure and DevOps operations. For cybersecurity companies seeking a DevOps partner, Astrix strongly recommends taking the time to evaluate assigned DevOps engineers just as they would with an internal hire.
