Armis enhances CrowdStrike partnership for real-time IoT/OT asset control

October 06, 2023

Asset intelligence cybersecurity company Armis announced two new integrations with CrowdStrike to help organizations strengthen their security posture across their Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) environments. These integrations will provide organizations with comprehensive cyber exposure management capabilities and real-time actionable asset intelligence to see, secure, protect, and manage threats across their entire extended attack surface.

With the convergence of IT and OT, it is more important than ever that security teams secure their critical infrastructure systems by collecting and leveraging asset-specific context to drive tailored extended Internet of Things (XIoT) threat prevention policy and high-fidelity detections.

Through this new partnership between Armis and CrowdStrike, customers can now use CrowdStrike Falcon Insight for IoT along with Armis Centrix to get:

Comprehensive asset intelligence into all managed and unmanaged IT and IoT/OT devices across any environment and vertical
Automatic, prioritized device vulnerability and risk assessments for IoT/OT assets
Enhanced threat detection and mitigation for mission-critical IoT/OT assets

Armis also announced that the company is leveraging CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, a next-generation SIEM with fast search and custom dashboards, to provide customers the ability to gain deeper IoT/OT security insights from data generated by Armis for unmanaged devices.

“The number of assets connected to business networks is growing at an exponential rate, expanding organizations’ attack surfaces and making it increasingly difficult for security teams to manage threats,” Nadir Izrael, CTO and co-founder at Armis, said in a media statement. “It’s crucial that global organizations across sectors be empowered with real-time, contextual insights to effectively mitigate risk. Together, Armis and CrowdStrike are helping customers to manage cyber risk exposure and protect the entire attack surface, keeping them safe and secure.”

“Our mission is to stop breaches from happening anywhere, and this expanded partnership with Armis ensures customers stay ahead of the rapidly evolving threat environment,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “By combining the unparalleled capabilities of both of our platforms, organizations of all sizes benefit immediately from powerful industry-leading AI-generated insights that enable their security teams to proactively protect their IoT/OT assets and swiftly remediate potential risks.”
