Armis Honored as Finalist in 2018 SC Media Excellence Award

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Armis, the enterprise IoT security company, today announced it has been recognized by SC Magazine as an Excellence Award finalist in the Rookie Security Company category for the 2018 SC Awards. Finalists are recognized for their outstanding leadership and providing superior security products to the cybersecurity industry.

Armis launched in June 2017 to help enterprises eliminate the IoT security blind spot that exists in all businesses today. Armis' technology is the only platform that lets companies see and control unmanaged devices, as well as rogue networks accessing their systems. In September, it announced the discovery of BlueBorne, a new attack vector endangering nearly all Bluetooth-connected devices, including smartphones, TVs, laptops, watches, smart TVs, personal assistants (such at the Amazon Echo and Google Home), and even automobile audio systems. It worked with Google, Microsoft, Apple, Linux, and Amazon through coordinated disclosure, to patch these vulnerabilities.

"Businesses today are going through a digital transformation greater in scale than the introduction of the PC and mobile device, combined. Connected devices are entering into the workplace en masse, most of which are unknown and unmanageable by IT," said Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO and co-founder of Armis. "Enterprise security has a massive IoT blind spot that must be addressed, which is why we built Armis. We're thrilled to be recognized by SC Media for the passion we put into securing the enterprise."

"In an age where threats are ever-evolving, it is reassuring to know that one true constant is the commitment of dedicated information security professionals, as best exemplified by our SC Media Awards finalists," said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. "These inspiring innovators have set a high bar for their industry peers, as they continue to protect the world from attacks and vulnerabilities that imperil our security, privacy, and digital infrastructure. The year 2017 brought us WannaCry ransomware infections, the rise of cryptominers, and bugs like Broadpwn and BlueBorne that affected billions of devices. Whatever threats rear their ugly heads in 2018 and beyond, our finalists will be ready to act."

Now in its 21^st year, SC Awards is recognized as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. The Excellence Award honors those that have proven to be the best in the industry at protecting today's corporate world from an array of risks and threats. Winners are carefully determined by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity industry, and will be announced at the SC Awards ceremony on April 17, 2018 in San Francisco.

"It's been said that cybercriminals are often the earliest adopters of new technologies, creating a unique challenge for organizations trying to protect private and public sector companies from attacks," added Armstrong of SC Media. "As a finalist, we recognize Armis as one of an elite group of companies able to successfully meet this constantly evolving challenge head-on."

The SC Awards gala honoring the winners attracts top professionals in the cybersecurity community and provides an invaluable opportunity for networking. To register for the 2018 SC Awards gala, please visit http://www.scmagazine.com/awards/.
