Armis & Viakoo Partner to Eliminate Vulnerabilities in IoT, Unmanaged Devices
Armis, an agentless device security platform, and Viakoo, a provider of automated IoT cyber hygiene, today announced a partnership that brings together IoT device discovery and remediation.
The number of connected enterprise IoT devices used in workplaces across all industries is exploding. Experts say that by 2025, we should expect more than 40 billion of these devices interwoven into our everyday lives. And although these devices help improve efficiency and reliability, they lack the management and security needed to keep them safe from cyberattacks. Most enterprise IoT, operational technology (OT) and biomedical devices have limited onboard security controls. Traditional asset management and security products can't see unmanaged and IoT devices that can't host software agents. Active network scanners can cause sensitive OT equipment or critical patient-connected devices to malfunction. And misconfigured or unpatched devices can expose vulnerabilities that create a massive attack surface and considerable risk.
