Integrity360 & Armis secure cyber partnership across EMEA

Integrity360, a pan-European cybersecurity firm, has announced a partnership with Armis, an asset intelligence firm, to enhance its cybersecurity offerings across Ireland, the UK, and Continental Europe.

Armis, headquartered in the United States, is renowned for securing critical infrastructure for Fortune 100, 200, and 500 companies, as well as national governments and local entities. The company's solutions are designed to keep vital systems and economies safe around the clock.

This strategic collaboration aims to provide organisations with comprehensive visibility over their entire digital landscape, encompassing IT, Operational Technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and healthcare assets. By leveraging Armis' advanced asset intelligence capabilities, businesses can identify and mitigate exposures and anomalies before they become serious threats.

The Armis platform covers a wide range of devices, including medical equipment like X-ray machines, security cameras, and temperature sensors—all of which are potentially exploitable by malicious actors. The platform's passive sensors do not require agent deployment, ensuring operational performance and availability are unaffected.

The new partnership will see Integrity360 offer managed services that enable organisations to use the Armis platform effectively. These services will help organisations map their attack surfaces, pinpoint cybersecurity gaps, detect anomalies, and enhance existing security measures.

Integrity360 anticipates significant demand for these services across various sectors, particularly healthcare, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and utilities. Moreover, the company expects increased interest from other industries, such as financial services and retail.

The announcement comes at a critical time, as Integrity360 has identified unpatched vulnerabilities as the primary exploit for initial access by cyber threat actors. The global footprint of non-IT assets is also expanding, with the number of IoT devices projected to reach nearly 30 billion by 2030, according to Statista. Furthermore, Allied Market Research forecasts a 19% annual growth rate in OT investment over the same period, underscoring the increasing importance of securing this area from cyber threats.

Brian Martin, Director of Product Management at Integrity360, highlighted the growing complexity of the cybersecurity landscape. "We live in an increasingly connected world, leading to an exponential expansion of the attack surface due to cloud, IoT, OT, mobile, identity, and the work-from-anywhere era," he said. "With more devices and more threats, companies need solutions, services, and partners that bolster cybersecurity and resilience."

Jamie Andrews, Senior Director of channel, EMEA at Armis, also expressed optimism about the partnership. "Alongside Armis, we believe that full visibility is key and aim to equip businesses with effective threat exposure management solutions and services," Andrews stated. We are pleased to join forces with Integrity360 across EMEA as a flagship partner for managed services. Our partner ecosystem is a valuable resource to support our customers."
