In just about two months’ time, Armis has announced another major acquisition. Recently, in Feb-2024, it announced acquisition of CTCI (Cyber Threat Cognitive Intelligence), a privately held company specializing in AI-powered pre-attack threat hunting technology.
 
Armis CEO and Cofounder, Yevgeny Dibrov, announced the acquisition of Silk Security through a recent blog post by stating that integrating Silk Security into Armis Centrix™ and Armis Centrix™ for Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation, they are introducing a new solution that revolutionizes the way to bridge the gap between security insights and decisive action. The acquisition of Silk Security aligns seamlessly with Armis’ strategy of offering end-to-end exposure management solutions capable of monitoring and managing all assets and devices across an organization’s digital footprint from the ground to the cloud. Over the past eight years, Armis has built its AI-powered Armis Centrix platform to encompass every facet of cyber threat exposure management which includes asset discovery and management, early warning threat detection, vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and now, remediation."
 
With a focus on prioritization, automation, remediation and traceability, Armis Centrix equips organizations with the tools needed to mitigate any security finding swiftly and effectively, enabling ongoing risk reduction as well as enhancing compliance and security posture. Acquisition of Silk Security will streamline the remediation process.
 
Both the recent acquisitions by Armis underscore the importance by cybersecurity providers on AI, in its role to automate tasks, and handle exponential security alarms and alerts.
