Armis has announced the appointment of Andrew Draper as Regional Vice President for Asia Pacific and Japan. Draper, who is based in Melbourne, will drive the company’s strategy to increase market share, increasing its sales operations and boosting its channel presence as it looks to cement its leadership in operational technology/industry control systems (OT/ICS), medical devices (IoMT), IoT & IT cybersecurity across the region.
Armis was recently selected as a provider of OT/ICS cybersecurity services by Mitre and has been expanding its footprint across Asia Pacific and Japan with teams currently in Australia, China and Singapore.

Andrew Draper commented “I am excited to take on this opportunity as more organisations seek out the best integrated automated enforcement solutions. My immediate task is to put in place a go-to-market strategy that will boost Armis’ growing presence in the market by recruiting channel partners with relevant technical expertise and access to customers. I am also looking to strengthen our Australia-based professional services to better serve our Asia Pacific customers.”
Brian Gumbel, CRO at Armis said “Andrew is an accomplished leader whose depth of knowledge of enterprise security as well as his experience in building teams will enable Armis to accelerate market expansion and customer acquisition. As we enter a landscape of more interconnected devices, Armis’ agentless device security platform will position us as the global leader in asset visibility and security.”
