During a live-streamed even this week, Armis co-founders Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael laid out the company’s vision for the future, which is centred around its newly announced AI-powered cyber exposure management platform dubbed Centrix.
“In a perimeter-less world, where assets are digitally connected, traditional cybersecurity boundaries no longer exist. Legacy on-premises systems and point solutions are no longer fit for purpose, leaving your attack surface and most critical assets open and exposed to cyber criminals and multiple bad actors,” explained Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder, Armis. “The sheer scale and dynamic nature of the attack surface necessitates an entirely different, AI-driven approach, and that’s what Armis Centrix is – the AI that powers a suite of powerful tools for managing cyber risk exposure.”
It’s a strong message, particularly in light of recent cyberattacks like the one on MGM over the weekend. Addressing how organisations, especially larger ones, are still struggling to get cybersecurity right, Armis CISO Curtis Simpson emphasised that by 2025, the number of connected assets will grow to 50 billion.
“Even today, 80% of these assets remain unseen, unmanaged and lacking in any security measures,” he said. “In parallel, vulnerabilities have also increased at a rate of 689% over the last 6 years. Environments are now incredibly complex, hybrid environments with many forms of interconnected assets. Attackers are now regularly taking advantage of this complexity to establish a foothold and then move through environments quietly, exploiting as many vulnerabilities on unseen assets as possible.”
Simpson also noted that due to this fast-changing and challenging situation, it is understandable to see organisations struggling to stay ahead. “The challenge is that everything from IoT, OT and physical / virtual IT devices are not only interconnected at scale, but the business use of suc ..
