Insights
The partnership between ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions and a top-tier cybersecurity solution integrator marks a significant development in the cybersecurity landscape. The integration of AZT PROTECT into a reseller that serves a substantial global client base indicates a strong market demand for specialized security in operational technology (OT) environments. This move is a strategic response to a series of high-profile cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure sectors, which underscores the urgency and importance of robust OT security measures.
OT security is a niche but rapidly growing segment within the broader cybersecurity market and ARIA's solution appears to be well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. By offering a product that is tailored for OT environments and capable of operating without constant internet connectivity, ARIA addresses a critical pain point for industries where traditional IT-centric security solutions fall short. The ability of AZT PROTECT to thwart advanced zero-day and supply chain attacks without relying on frequent security patches is particularly relevant given the increasing sophistication of cyber threats.
The expansion of AZT PROTECT's availability through this partnership could potentially lead to an increase in ARIA Cybersecurity's market share and revenue, given the reseller's extensive reach. This partnership could also serve as a significant competitive advantage, positioning ARIA as a leader in OT cybersecurity solutions.
The announcement of this partnership is likely to be viewed favorably by investors and could have a positive impact on CSPi's stock valuation. The ability to scale sales reach by a factor of 100 is a substantial growth indicator, which could lead to increased revenue projections for the company. Investors will be keen on monitoring the adoption rate of AZT PROTECT across the industries mentioned, as it would be a direct indicator of the product's market acceptance and the success of the partnership.
Furthermore, the deployment of AZT PROTECT by prominent companies, including a top pharmaceutical manufacturer and a Fortune 500 chemical company, provides a validation of the product's efficacy and market potential. Such high-profile deployments can often lead to a halo effect, attracting more clients in these sectors to consider ARIA's solutions. The financial implications for CSPi could be significant if AZT PROTECT becomes the de facto standard for OT cybersecurity protection.
From a legal and compliance perspective, the partnership between ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions and the cybersecurity solution integrator is a proactive step towards addressing the increasing regulatory pressure on companies to secure their OT environments. Various sectors, particularly those deemed critical infrastructure, are facing stringent cybersecurity regulations. The ability of AZT PROTECT to operate in air-gapped environments and reduce application vulnerability exploits is critical in meeting these regulatory requirements.
Companies that adopt AZT PROTECT may find it easier to comply with industry-specific cybersecurity standards and regulations, potentially reducing legal risks associated with data breaches and cyberattacks. This could also lead to a reduction in costs related to cybersecurity insurance premiums and potential liabilities. Legal departments of companies in critical infrastructure sectors might see this solution as an attractive option to mitigate legal and regulatory risks.
Industry leading cybersecurity reseller to dramatically expand availability of AZT PROTECT
BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / February 13, 2024 / ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions, a CSPi business (NASDAQ:CSPi), has partnered with one of the world's top-three cybersecurity solution integrators to accelerate adoption of ARIA's unique solution for securing operational technology (OT) environments - AZT PROTECT®. This new agreement represents a major endorsement for AZT PROTECT as the industry's leading solution for protecting critical infrastructure in sectors such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, energy, and utilities.
The leading cybersecurity advisory firm and reseller, which serves around 6,000 companies worldwide, added AZT PROTECT to its portfolio after identifying a gap in its offering for OT customers. Thanks to this new agreement, it can now offer an integrated solution for OT environments that offers protection against the most advanced zero-day and supply chain attacks, responding to the rapidly growing number of successful cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure. It will add the new offering to their existing range of managed monitoring and professional services.
Unlike leading next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and endpoint detection response (EDR) solutions - designed for IT rather than OT - AZT PROTECT does not require constant internet connectivity or rely on constant security patching, making it suitable for "air gapped" environments. It augments these other solutions by reducing application vulnerability exploits to near zero. Thereby neutralizing attacks in real time before they cause harm, using a revolutionary AI-driven patented technique for analyzing executable code, scripts, and processes.
"The new agreement allows us to multiply our sales reach 100x, which will dramatically help accelerate adoption of AZT PROTECT across multiple industries, meeting the urgent need to protect OT environments," says Gary Southwell, General Manager of ARIA Cybersecurity. "This is a strategic partnership with an established leader in the cybersecurity industry with a proven track record of bringing innovative cybersecurity solutions to thousands of companies around the world."
Launched in July 2023, AZT PROTECT is being deployed by companies in a range of industrial settings that use OT to manage critical infrastructure. ARIA Cybersecurity solutions recently announced the roll out of AZT PROTECT at a top 5 pharmaceutical manufacturer to protect its critical production applications, joining a fortune 500 chemical company, a western intelligence agency, along with Logi-Tech, a leading Australian local managed security service provider (MSSP).
