The Challenge
Operational technology (OT) systems are often a combination of IT, IoT and OT assets. These environments host an enterprise’s most
critical assets and are a primary target for cybercriminals. At Armis we’re addressing the critical issues facing OT/IoT environments, namely OT attack surface expansion, unmanaged and specialized OT assets, OT/IT convergence and the rise in extortion and weaponized attacks.
With OT attack surface expansion, organizations are unable to maintain regulatory standards, and business leaders are caught in a reactive cycle of cybersecurity risks and unplanned action. Organizations in the OT space are looking to proactively see, secure and manage their critical assets. Armis Centrix™, the industry’s most advanced cyber exposure platform helps them achieve that goal.
For OT/IoT environments ransomware and weaponized attacks are the single biggest factor impacting critical infrastructure. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and they specifically target vulnerable OT/IoT systems due to their high-value nature. These systems often control crucial infrastructure and industrial sectors, such as energy, water, transportation, and manufacturing. Successful attacks can lead to operational disruptions, financial losses, and potential safety risks.
