HOUSTON, Texas — 1898 & Co., part of Burns & McDonnell, and Armis, the asset intelligence cybersecurity company, today announced they have forged a strategic partnership enabling organizations to protect their entire attack surface and manage the organization's cyber risk exposure in real time. Together they are poised to deliver an integrated solution that leverages 1898 & Co.’s managed threat protection and response expertise alongside Armis Centrix™, the AI-powered cyber exposure management platform. This combined technology provides real-time threat detection, security event triage, an accurate view of asset inventory, maximizes investments and unifies assets across critical operations technology.
The Department of Homeland Security Critical Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and other government agencies are now encouraging critical infrastructure providers to increase their cybersecurity measures. The combined 1898 & Co. and Armis cybersecurity approach allows critical infrastructure providers to use the managed services in a cost-effective way while adhering to government agency standards.
“The protection of many of our nation’s resources begins with our industrial critical infrastructure,” says Mark Mattei, director at 1898 & Co. “Armis and 1898 & Co. share a common goal: providing elevated cybersecurity options that are accessible and valuable across a diverse set of businesses.”
These benefits can be translated across different verticals and industries including Manufacturing, Energy and Utilities, Transportation, Public Sector and many more. The collaboration will provide organizations with the ability to have complete visibility over all OT, IoT and ICS assets, systems, and processes in the environment, detect and identify cyber risks in real time, understand potential threats, and prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities in the operational environment.
“By combining our service offerings and leveraging the strongest components of both 1898 & Co. and Armis, we have created an advanced and comprehensive cybersecurity package,” says Tim Mackie, Vice President Worldwide Channels, Biz Dev and Alliances at Armis. “I look forward to witnessing the continued success that this partnership creates.”
