Xage and Armis Partner to Strengthen Zero Trust Security in OT

Xage and Armis are deepening their partnership to deliver zero trust security to critical IT/OT environments that often lack basic protection and are being targeted by cyber adversaries at an escalating rate. The partnership delivers a comprehensive access control and asset intelligence cybersecurity solution that enhances visibility, security, and control for OT systems. 

Armis Secure Remote Access, powered by Xage, brings zero trust identity and access management, remote privileged access management, vendor access management, and asset protection to the most vital and vulnerable layers of any organization.

The partnership supports the attributes of defensible architecture for ICS security laid out by SANS, assuring that zero trust principles are effectively deployed at every layer of critical OT, ICS, and cyber physical systems (CPS) environments.

The partnership is built on a shared commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure. Together, they bring their unique strengths to the table, creating a unified solution that enhances both visibility, security and control. The solution focuses on zero-trust security in the form of securing access and assets resulting in a more robust and cohesive approach to cybersecurity. This partnership ensures that every device and user is authenticated before access to critical systems is granted. The combination of security controls and device insights creates a proactive and adaptive security solution that is well-suited to the dynamic nature of today’s digital infrastructure.

Key Benefits

The Xage and Armis partnership offers several key benefits, significantly enhancing the security posture of critical infrastructure organizations:

1. Extended Device Visibility: One of the features of this partnership is the comprehensive visibility it provides into the digital ecosystem. Armis’s device intelligence covers a wide range of assets, including those not typically accounted for by traditional security measures. This extensive coverage allows for a more complete understanding of the infrastructure, helping to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, risk and threats.

2. Zero Trust Protection: By delivering secure remote access and asset intelligence cybersecurity, the combined solution  helps ensure  zero trust protection for every asset, and every interaction. The collaboration enables a more granular approach to access control, ensuring that only verified and authorized devices and users can interact with critical systems. Xage also delivers the ability to adjust policies based on asset risk profiles, interactions, and vulnerabilities. This is essential for protecting sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access.

3. Threat and Vulnerability Oversight: Armis provides a solution for asset management and security, threat detection, and vulnerability management. Armis’s threat intelligence, when used alongside Xage’s access control, risk mitigation, breach prevention, and incident response capabilities, enables a proactive defense strategy. This allows organizations to identify and respond to potential threats before they can cause significant harm, ensuring a more resilient infrastructure.

4. Streamlined Operations: Beyond enhancing security, the partnership also simplifies operational processes. By leveraging shared data from both platforms, organizations can improve asset management and policy implementation. This collaboration reduces the complexity of managing diverse device ecosystems and ensures consistent security policies across all environments.

Their combined efforts provide a comprehensive solution that not only enhances security but also simplifies the management of complex digital environments. This collaboration offers organizations the tools and insights needed to protect their assets and ensure the continued safety and resilience of their operations.
