Armis 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.
