Core6 and Armis from ServiceNow Unite to Bolster Cybersecurity for Storage Systems
Core6 and Armis Join Forces to Enhance Cyber Exposure Management
In an increasingly digital world, safeguarding data infrastructure is paramount. Core6, the renowned data infrastructure security firm, has taken a significant leap by announcing a partnership with Armis from ServiceNow, a recognized leader in cyber exposure management. This collaboration aims to fortify cybersecurity around storage and backup systems, areas often overlooked in conventional security frameworks.
Addressing Emerging Threats
The timing of this partnership is critical. With the surge of attacks targeting enterprise storage and backup environments, the need for comprehensive exposure management has never been more urgent. Ransomware groups and state-sponsored actors find these systems ripe for disruption, aiming to disable recovery options and compel organizations into paying ransom. Utilizing artificial intelligence, attackers have begun probing for vulnerabilities at an alarming rate, making traditional security methods hastily inadequate.
This partnership integrates Core6’s innovative StorageGuard, a dedicated Storage Security Posture Management platform, with Armis's ongoing asset intelligence. The synergy created through this integration provides a holistic view of cybersecurity threats, enabling continuous risk assessment and comprehensive security coverage across organizations' entire IT landscape.
Closing the Blind Spot
Historically, security measures focused extensively on endpoints, servers, and connected devices, often neglecting storage arrays and backup platforms. Recognizing this critical blind spot, Core6's partnership with Armis directly addresses the limitations of existing exposure management programs. Under this integration, security teams can access real-time asset intelligence, effectively correlating it with existing vulnerability assessments specific to storage and backup systems.
What this means in practice is that organizations can now detect, prioritize, and remediate potential threats to their storage security from a single, user-friendly dashboard. This new approach eliminates the need for deploying new agents or learning an entirely separate console, streamlining the security management process considerably.
