Overview

In the next two years, there will be over 25 billion connected devices globally. Many of those are already in our workplaces, improving productivity, collaboration, insights, and convenience. This unmanaged IoT device explosion is more pervasive and transformative than the PC and Mobile revolutions combined — but it is not without risk. These devices lack built-in security controls. They have no security, can’t host a security agent, or receive updates and they are unseen and not protected by traditional security products. In short, our critical, connected devices — from robotic arms on a manufacturing floor, to patient monitors and MRI machines at a hospital, to smart TVs or even badge readers — are totally unprotected. As connected device usage increases exponentially in years to come, the widening IoT security gap means that sensitive information — and in some cases, lives — are at risk.

Armis is the first agentless, enterprise-class security platform to address the new threat landscape of unmanaged and IoT devices. The platform’s unique out-of-band sensing technology discovers and analyzes all unmanaged, un-agentable and IoT devices. Completely passive, 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. Unlike traditional endpoint and network security solutions that only offer insight into managed devices and activities inside the corporate network, Armis is flexible and sees activity and connections of all devices, both on and off the network — a critical safety layer in an all-too-exposed space.

With a crowdsourced Device Knowledgebase monitoring over 80 million devices worldwide (the largest of its kind) and 8 million device profiles, Armis compares a device’s behavior to similar devices we have seen in similar environments. We track the behavior of that device,
