Asset Visibility & Security News Roundup (August 2022)

August was a whirlwind, given all of the excitement happening at Black Hat earlier in the month. We had a great time at the event, which provided an opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and prospects, and have some fun connecting in person together instead of from behind our screens for a change. We even had the privilege of meeting with a few members of the media, including Information Security Media Group’s Michael Novinson (Black Hat coverage here) and Edward Gately from Channel Futures (Black Hat article here). Thanks to both of them and the other journalists who took the time to connect with our team and include us in their coverage and videos coming out of the event.

While Black Hat was a priority, it wasn’t the only focus of our team last month. In case you missed any of our news, we’ve compiled a roundup below of global news announcements and thought leadership commentary we thought you might like to check out to stay in the loop on everything. We’ve also shared some traction Armis has achieved as we continue to build our trophy wall showcasing industry accolades. Read on if you’re interested in a recap of our August news and media activity, and more!
