Helping organizations discover and secure managed, unmanaged, and IoT devices: Armis

Armis is the first agentless, enterprise-class security platform to address the new threat landscape of unmanaged and IoT devices. Fortune 1000 companies trust its unique out-of-band sensing technology to discover and analyze all managed, unmanaged, and IoT devices—from traditional devices like laptops and smartphones to new unmanaged smart devices like smart TVs, webcams, printers, HVAC systems, industrial robots, medical devices and more. Armis discovers devices on and off the network, continuously analyzes endpoint behavior to identify risks and attacks, and protects critical information and systems by identifying suspicious or malicious devices and quarantining them. Armis is a privately held company and headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity Management Services Delivered

The Armis Device Knowledgebase: It is the world’s largest device knowledgebase tracking over one billion devices⁠ — and growing. Core to the Armis Platform is the Device Knowledgebase. It is a giant, crowd-sourced, cloud-based device behavior knowledgebase—the largest in the world, tracking over one billion devices—and growing. Each profile includes unique device information such as how often each device communicates with other devices, over what protocols, how much data is typically transmitted, whether the device is usually stationary, what software runs on each device, etc. And they record and keep a history on everything each device does. With its Device Knowledgebase, Armis understands not only what the device is and what it is doing, but what it should be doing. This is because the company understands the context of each device in its use in each environment.

Armis Standard Query (ASQ): Save time with an easy-to-use query builder which rapidly zeros in on sophisticated combinations of criteria with precision and accuracy.  Central to the Armis Platform, ASQ allows search through numerous categories and detailed query criteria to deliver the information you need to take action. From managed, unmanaged, medical, OT, and IoT devices, with Armis Standard Query (ASQ), you can search for information about devices, vulnerabilities, services, connections, policies and more — the combinations are endless. Quickly understand what your devices are on your network, what they are doing, and ensure compliance with regulations or standards. Easily remove devices or assets from the network, change configurations before reporting on compliance and create policies to address situations as needed.

Healthcare cybersecurity asset management: The riskiest devices are the ones you can’t see, like unmanaged and IoT devices that you can’t see or secure with agent-based IT and security tools. An agentless, passive device security platform can break through that barrier, so you can see everything and protect virtually any device with confidence. Create a resilient architecture that allows your organization to extend security for connected medical devices through the lens of patient safety, clinical quality, and high efficiency utilization. Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDO’s) are a big part of the patient’s journey through the healthcare ecosystem. Connected medical devices improve a patient’s experience from the hospital bedside, to home, to the doctor’s office or home computer. By understanding the full scope of risk to continuity of operations, the Armis Platform provides HDO’s with high fidelity information, security data visualization, and response capabilities through your entire clinical workflow context to help improve the quality of care and reduce inefficiencies at the same time.

Network segmentation through NAC augmentation: The most common approach for performing network segmentation today is via Network Access Control. Unfortunately, NAC systems can be complex to deploy and have poor visibility to all the devices on the network – specifically medical, OT and IoT devices. For network segmentation projects to succeed, what is needed is complete visibility to all devices on the network and full context about the behavior & security posture of each device. The Armis Agentless Device Security Platform can use this contextual knowledge of each device to automatically generate segmentation policies based on the needs of each device. These policies ensure that devices have access to the resources they need and reduce their exposure to threats.

OT Asset Management: Good OT asset management relies on a comprehensive and accurate inventory of all hardware and software that is present in your OT environment. Automatically discover and generate a comprehensive inventory of all devices and software in your environment. Leverage the massive Device Knowledgebase to utilize a wealth of information such as device type, manufacturer, model, location, and more. The scope of The Armis Agentless Device Security Platform device discovery extends to your entire environment — from the manufacturing line to the executive suite. This is important because attackers view your environment as one large interconnected attack surface.
