Trustmarque and Armis Announce Strategic Partnership to Manage Organisations’ Cyber Risk Exposure
YORK, December 17, 2024
Trustmarque, a leading provider of IT solutions and services, today announced a strategic partnership with Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company. This collaboration will enable organisations across the UK to strengthen their cybersecurity programs by ensuring their attack surfaces are both defended and managed in real time.
According to the UK government’s 2024 Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 50% of UK businesses have experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the past 12 months. This new partnership will bring together Trustmarque’s expertise in IT services and cloud solutions with Armis’ cutting-edge cyber exposure management platform, Armis Centrix™. This synergy will enable joint customers to gain unparalleled insights into their entire IT ecosystem – from traditional endpoints to Internet of Things (IoT), operational technology (OT) devices and more.
Trustmarque Chief Executive Officer Simon Williams commented on the news,
“Our collaboration with Armis comes at a crucial time, offering exceptional cyber exposure management tailored for our customers in the UK. Cyber security threats are on the rise, evolving rapidly and increasing in complexity. As we look ahead to 2025, our strategic focus will be on optimisation and cloud services, empowering Trustmarque to effectively manage the entire software lifecycle for our clients.”
Alex Mosher, Chief Revenue Officer, Armis, added:
“Partnering with Trustmarque is a natural fit for Armis, enabling us to move faster and further in the U.K market. Their strong U.K presence, combined with our industry-leading cyber exposure management platform, creates a powerful offering for organisations seeking to enhance their security posture. Together, we can provide unmatched visibility and protection for the growing number of connected devices in enterprise environments.”
Trustmarque and Armis are both backed by One Equity Partners (OEP). This shared investment background further strengthens the partnership and demonstrates OEP’s commitment to fostering collaboration among its portfolio companies.
Cyber Security in 2025 and beyond
The timing of this partnership is particularly significant as we move into 2025 with the number of connected assets expected to grow to 50 billion by next year. With the increasing complexity of business environments and the proliferation of physical and virtual assets (i.e. IT, OT, IoT, IoMT, cloud, ICS and more), organisations face growing challenges when it comes to protecting their attack surfaces and managing cyber risk exposure. The Trustmarque-Armis partnership addresses these challenges head-on, offering a comprehensive solution that combines Trustmarque’s IT service expertise with Armis’ cyber exposure management & security capabilities.
This collaboration will enable Trustmarque to enhance its service offerings, particularly in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud services, and managed services. Customers will benefit from improved asset discovery, risk management, and automated enforcement across their entire IT infrastructure.
Trustmarque’s cybersecurity customers span finance, education, government, healthcare, retail, and emergency services.For more information about this partnership and the solutions it offers, please visit www.trustmarque.com and www.armis.com.
