Armis: Secure the Enterprise of Things

Armis: Secure the Enterprise of Things

The enterprise today is becoming more and more connected as it recognizes the benefits of the IoT. But this is also rapidly increasing the attack surface for ransomware attacks. Gartner predicts that IoT endpoints are set to be around the 25 billion mark by 2021 which means that there will be a lot of unmanaged and un-agentable devices in this world without protection. Armis, with its Agentless Device Security Platform, is addressing this new threat landscape.

Founded in 2015 by Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, Armis is the best when it comes to enterprise IoT security. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California the company is trusted by many Fortune 1000 companies for its expertise in enterprise-class IoT security.

Designed to protect the new world

It is being said that 90% of the devices at the workplace will not be efficiently managed with traditional security solutions. Various devices like smartphones, smart TVs, cameras, smart lighting, printers, robotic arms, medical machines including infusion pumps, digital microscopes and more are increasing their presence at the workplaces today. But you cannot really put an agent on each one of them to track their performance constantly. This is where Armis comes in.

Armis provides an Agentless Device Security Platform which can see and manage devices at your office without any additional software. The Agentless Device Security Platform pulls all the information about the devices onto the Armis device knowledgebase which is on the cloud. The company is thus able to track each un-agentable device. It leverages its Threat Detection Engine and proprietary research to determine if a device’s behavior is suspicious or malicious and takes steps to ensure that your network of devices is secure.

The platform has newly come to Cortex, which is an open and integrated AI-based continuous security platform. This availability has helped Palo Alto Networks Cortex partners to deliver cloud-based apps which deliver innovative cybersecurity capabilities to its customers.

Raised $65 million in Series C

The past year has seen Armis’ revenue grow by a phenomenal 700% as it was able to get more clients on board with multiple multimillion-dollar contracts with enterprises all over the world. Its customers today include Sysco Goods, Samsung Research America, Allergan and many more.

With a deployment that is extended to more than 25% of the Fortune 100 companies, the company opened up its Series C round of funding earlier this year. The Series C saw the company raise $65 million bringing its total funding to $112 million. The funding round was led by Sequoia Capital and among the participants were Insight Venture Partners, Bain Capital ventures, Red Dot Capital Partners, Intermountain Ventures, and Tenaya Capital.
