More integration plays in the security industry, as platform players are dragging technology to give them deeper experience in developing business sectors. On Thursday, ArsenalSpecialist of $ 4.2 billion in cyberspace management, he said he would obtain OochSpecialist in securing an industrial and natural environment.
The terms of the agreement are not revealed, but sources near the transaction tell TechCrunch that Armis – based in San Francisco but has roots in Israel – pays $ 120 million in cash and shares for Otorio. Previously, Tel Aviv -based launch had raised $ 50 million from a strategic investor, the Andritz industrial company, according to Pitchbook data.
Otorio’s flagship product is called Titan and will be integrated into the ARMIS Centrix platform.

For example, he made headlines earlier this year, when he said that his clients are blocking Deepseek, the new AI model from China, and then proceeded publish research Explaining why.
Otorio’s technology will complement the existing capabilities of ARMIS with an emphasis on an area that is sometimes overlooked – industrial machinery and wider industrial environments. These environments are often considered full of natural “stupid” equipment. But machines are gradually replaced with more connected models and when they do, they become equally vulnerable – perhaps even more, taking into account the critical nature of an industrial infrastructure.
Technology is also very useful for expanding Armis’s overall work to other natural environments that are non -industrial, but still require “super secure” protections, in the words of CEO and co -founder Yevgeny Dibrov and thus require space security solutions.
“We add some very powerful components to our platform to deal with more environmental, especially for air gaps that require developments on the spot against our SAAS product, but also to truly address the needs and potential of zero confidence,” he said. “Otorio really helps us get it to the next level for this environment.”

But more recently there are indications These companies slowly get the most of the available money. This makes the M&A option a more obvious choice for many smaller newly established businesses.
While companies such as Wiz have increased billions to dominate acquisition strategies, others such as ARMIS also emerge as buyers. Otorio is the third acquisition of Armis, as well as its third in one year. Was acquired Silk For $ 150 million in April 2024 and CTCI for $ 20 million in February 2024 for $ 20 million.
