New technology and services platform offers
robust security, resilient network management, and reliable backup
and recovery, managed by its Houston-based team
Armexa, a cybersecurity company that specializes in helping
industrial companies achieve secure, safe and resilient operations,
announced today the launch of its Industrial Resiliency Integrated
Solution (IRIS) Operations Platform. The new IRIS platform has been
thoughtfully developed to address the needs of industrial operators
that lack dedicated operational technology (OT) support staff.
“IRIS offers a practical, scalable approach that allows asset
owners to achieve a high level of protection without an expensive
initial remediation effort,” stated Eric Forner, Armexa co-founder
and CTO. “It brings focus to what industrial operators are doing,
what they aren’t doing, and what they should be doing when it comes
to OT security.”
IRIS Operations Platform:
IRIS Core: Turn-key endpoint resiliency and managed
support, prioritized for the most targeted systems in OT. IRIS Core
delivers backup and recovery, patch management and endpoint
security for HMIs, engineering workstations, app servers and other
Windows-based endpoints. It ensures continuous operations and
allows for quick recovery in case of disruptions.
Supplemental Modules:
A feature-rich set of turn-key technology and services
tailored to a company’s environment and risk profile.
- Resilient Control: This module extends backup and
recovery support to cover industrial automation devices, such as
PLCs, HMIs and SCADA systems, offering comprehensive protection for
the most critical components of industrial infrastructure.
- Secure Remote Access: This module adds secure remote
access, making it easy to deploy and manage state-of-the-art
security for external connections for employees and contractors.
Complete visibility and accountability is maintained using
comprehensive audit capabilities and screen capture.
- Resilient Infrastructure: This module includes
management of OT network switch infrastructure for clients,
ensuring seamless and secure connectivity. It covers hardware and
software management for the switch fabric inside of industrial
environments through performance monitoring, change control,
updates, proactive alerts to the IRIS Team, and monthly
reporting.
- Secure Conduit: This module manages IT/OT perimeter and
zone firewalls, safeguarding networks from internal and external
threats. It covers enforcement of best practices for firewall
configuration change management, performance monitoring, updates,
proactive alerts to the IRIS Team, and monthly reporting.
“IRIS offers unmatched operational technology expertise right
from our Houston-based headquarters and includes regular site
visits with hands-on support, making advanced industrial security
right-sized for your risk appetite,” added Forner. “When I worked
as an asset owner many years ago, I would have loved to have had a
platform like IRIS to count on. We’ve developed this to solve real
problems for real people.”
The IRIS Operations Platform is available, with pricing based on
service tiers and options for bundled services to provide cost
savings.
The IRIS Operations Platform addresses the needs of industries
such as oil & gas operators, chemicals, manufacturers, and
power and water utilities.
