Armis creates the first true AI-driven Cyber
Threat Exposure Management platform as it builds AI Cybersecurity
powerhouse
Armis, the asset intelligence cybersecurity company, today
announced it has acquired Silk Security, the leading platform for
cyber risk prioritization and remediation.
Armis has acquired Silk Security for a total of $150M, and will
integrate the Silk Platform into the Armis Centrix™ AI based
Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation solution to
supercharge its capabilities and now be able to provide security
teams with a consolidated view of security findings that encompass
all sources of data from on prem devices to cloud compute, code,
and application security tools, and fully manage and automate
remediation.
“Global enterprises and governments need a platform that can
address the entire lifecycle of cybersecurity threats,” said
Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO and Co-Founder, Armis. “Given today’s
complicated, dynamic threat landscape, legacy technologies and
point solutions are no longer fit for purpose. To ensure the entire
attack surface is both defended and managed in real time,
organizations need a comprehensive solution that quantifies and
reduces risk continually through the ability to prioritize and
remediate the most important security findings at any given time,
in any environment.”
Silk Security was founded in 2022 by three security
professionals: Yoav Nathaniel, CEO, Or Priel, CPO and Bar Katz,
CTO, who all saw first-hand how frustrating the current process of
alert remediation is for practitioners, operational teams, and
business stakeholders. Silk Security raised $12.5M from Insight
Partners, the Crowdstrike Falcon fund and Hetz Ventures.
"We are extremely excited to be joining forces with Armis and to
have the opportunity to bring our technology into the Armis
solution stack. Organizations across the world are struggling to
address increasing concerns about security risks to ensure business
continuity. These concerns can be resolved by creating proactive
strategies to identify, manage and reduce those risks,” said Yoav
Nathaniel, CEO and Co-Founder, Silk Security. “Customers of Silk
Security and Armis are going to have an accelerated advantage in
the use of our technology with this unprecedented integration,
benefiting from a holistic approach for exposure management that
works even for the most complex organizations.”
By acquiring Silk Security, Armis Centrix™ will now encompass
all sources of data including from on prem devices to code, cloud
and application security tools. This will provide security and
developer teams with a consolidated view into any security findings
and will empower them to manage the remediation process in an
effective way.
This most recent acquisition completes Armis’ strategy of
building a comprehensive platform that can see, protect and manage
all assets and devices anywhere in the organization’s digital
footprint. Over the past 8 years Armis has engineered and developed
its AI-Powered Armis Centrix™ platform to address all facets of
cyber threat exposure management. From asset discovery and
management through to vulnerability discovery, prioritization and
now remediation.
