The Armis Platform allows for:
- Accurate and Complete Asset Inventory- automatically provides a complete unified authoritative asset data inventory, correlating key attributes from your existing disparate solutions, eliminating the need for manual data-gathering efforts, and helping you view all asset-related data through a single location and more.
- Promote IT hygiene and remove technical debt- provides a proven way to streamline security hygiene, making it easy to understand the current usage trends of any asset, identify end-of-support hardware and software, and identify end-of-life hardware and software
- Control and reduce the asset attack surface- provides an instant view of your attack surface, enabling faster responses to risks and threats. From one centralized asset record, you can access difficult-to-find information, such as location and owner; critical data attributes, such as asset type, manufacturer, and operating system; and supporting security data points, such as encryption, vulnerabilities, and EDR status.
- Manage asset vulnerabilities and prioritize by risk- aggregates vulnerability information and asset information and then enriches it with Armis research data and external threat intelligence feeds, calculating an individual risk score for every asset in your environment.
- Detect and mitigate assets impacted by threats- The groundbreaking Armis Collective Asset Intelligence Engine, which continuously learns from the behavior of over 3B assets, works in conjunction with our threat detection engine to identify compromised assets, malicious asset behavior, or incorrect asset configurations. By providing a complete contextual inventory, Armis supercharges threat detection and response, supporting traditional SOC solutions.
