Armis has acquired OTORIO, a provider of OT/ ICS cyber security solutions. This accelerates Armis’ roll out of an on premise version of its Cyber Exposure Management platform, Armis Centrix and cements its leadership in cyber physical systems (CPS) security.
Armis will fully integrate OTORIO’s Titan platform into Armis Centrix, delivering a single, comprehensive solution for critical infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial environments:
- Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security (On-Prem) ensures robust, localised protection for air-gapped or sequestered operational environments.
- Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security (Cloud) delivers real-time visibility, threat detection, and continuous monitoring (CTEM) at scale for highly distributed, connected environments.
This unified approach empowers organisations with a forward compatible OT/CPS security solution, safeguarding operational resilience while delivering security & compliance for the most targeted and sensitive environments globally.
“The OTORIO team provides deep domain technical expertise, attack path mapping, an on- premises architecture that will further expand the Armis Centrix platform, bringing us an on-premises version and allows us to offer a hybrid version for customers for the most complex and critical environments,” said Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO, Armis. “We are seeing unprecedented demand across all industries but for some specific verticals like oil and gas, energy and manufacturing, customers require a hybrid environment for protection. Allowing us to deliver more Zero Trust access and protection through a further simplified access to their OT/ ICS / NERC SIP environments. Allowing new and existing customers the ability to further utilise our award-winning OT security capabilities, across their entire organisations thus safeguarding their total operational environment and threat landscape.
