One of the most influential societal changes we have seen in the last 50 years is our reliance on technology. The benefits thereof have enriched our lives, but it is not without its risk.
There is scarcely a week that goes past where there is not a security breach that results in stolen data, financial losses and shaken customer confidence. In the case of organizations involved in critical infrastructure operations, any security incident can put lives directly at risk.
Security pundits point to the increasing attack surfaces along with new assets, new vulnerabilities and connected networks as key reasons for attacks growing in frequency, severity and scope. While a financial payday that hackers point to as a primary reason for their activities, there is also an increase in insider threats as well as cyber espionage and terrorism. Without a paradigm shift to the way we secure our environments, this trend is likely to continue unabated, until now.

Armis recognized that most attacks are successful because organizations invariably have security blind spots. Simply put, the organization did not know and thus, the threat became a reality.
In 2015, armed with this knowledge, Armisâ mission to enable enterprises to adopt new connected devices without fear of compromise by cyber attack became clear.
