Armis has announced an integration of its Armis Centrix platform with NVIDIA's BlueField-3 DPUs, focusing on enhancing security for critical infrastructure while ensuring operational performance remains intact. This integration addresses the challenge of implementing comprehensive security measures without disrupting essential operations, particularly as attacks on critical infrastructure continue to rise.

By merging Armis' AI-powered asset intelligence with NVIDIA's data processing unit (DPU) technology, the new collaboration promises a secure environment for critical sectors. Users of Armis Centrix, now equipped with BlueField-3 DPUs, can expect enhanced protection for operational technology (OT) systems at both the host and network levels.

Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis, stated, “From the convergence of IT and OT environments to sophisticated cyber threats targeting cyber-physical systems, organizations face growing challenges in securing attack surfaces and managing their cyber risk exposure. This integration with NVIDIA technologies extends the reach of Armis’ comprehensive platform for OT security and cyber exposure management to help organizations protect their critical assets.”

The Armis Centrix platform operates on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs to bolster security by leveraging AI to detect and mitigate threats in real time. This proactive approach aims to maintain business continuity and ensure operational integrity across various asset types. The seamless deployment of Armis’ capabilities into the NVIDIA platform facilitates compatibility and scalability without compromising performance.

Ofir Arkin, Senior Distinguished Architect for Cybersecurity at NVIDIA, emphasized the urgency of securing critical infrastructure amid evolving threats. He noted that the NVIDIA cybersecurity AI platform enables solutions tailored for modern OT environments.

Armis is showcasing its Centrix platform this week at S4x25 in Tampa, Florida, demonstrating its commitment to addressing the distinct security needs of critical infrastructure.
