The cybersecurity industry is undergoing rapid consolidation as established companies expand their capabilities through strategic acquisitions rather than internal development. Three major acquisitions in March 2025 highlight key trends: the growing importance of securing operational technology, the central role of AI in data security, and the continued significance of the human element in cybersecurity defense.
• Armis acquired Otorio on March 6, 2025, enhancing its ability to secure air-gapped industrial networks in energy, manufacturing, and utilities sectors
• The acquisition integrates Otorio's OT security expertise into Armis' Centrix platform, providing comprehensive visibility across IT and OT environments
• Forcepoint's acquisition of GetVisibility on March 11 strengthens its AI-driven data discovery and classification capabilities
• GetVisibility's DSPM solutions help protect sensitive data across endpoints, cloud applications, and generative AI platforms
• Italian provider CyberGuru acquired French startup Mantra SAS on March 13, combining their security awareness training platforms
• The merged entity will serve over 1,000 organizations globally, reaching approximately 1.5 million users
• These acquisitions reflect an industry-wide shift toward more integrated, comprehensive security solutions
• Companies are positioning themselves strategically to address multiple aspects of the modern threat landscape
