Lost in the Network? Let Armis Centrix with Google Cloud Help You Find Your Way

Do you know every device connected to your network? It might seem simple to keep track of your assets, but many organizations honestly just don’t know. Our research* shows that:

34% of Organizations Have an Up-to-date Asset Management Database

Only 34 percent of respondents have an accurate and up-to-date Asset Management Database of all the assets in their network including information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), internet of things (IOT), industrial internet of things (IIOT), and mobile devices.

75% of Companies Believe Securing Their Devices is Getting More Challenging

Up to 75 percent believe that securing these devices will become more challenging, with 69 percent foreseeing difficulty managing updates and 57 percent expecting optimizing performance to become more difficult.

32% of Survey Respondents Carried Out a Recent Security Assessment

A small subset of 27 percent keep a real-time risk register of all assets connected to the network, and 32 percent had carried out a security risk assessment of IT/OT infrastructure within the last two months.

You might have difficult-to-manage devices like sensors for IoT and IIoT applications, smartphones and tablets, devices acquired through mergers or acquisitions, and more. The list of devices is long and growing daily. More importantly, each device is a potential vulnerability for hackers to exploit.

Every day, we see news of ransomware attacks and stolen personal information, often through unrecognized devices. You need to manage security for all devices on your network, no matter how big or small.

Secure Your Organization’s Attack Surface with Armis and Google Cloud

With Google Cloud, Armis Centrix™ makes it as easy and as fast as possible for organizations like yours to identify and secure your entire attack surface.

Cybersecurity That Matters with Google Cloud

Google Cloud’s mission is to help organizations transform cybersecurity with frontline intelligence, expertise, and AI-powered innovation. Nowhere is this needed more than in security operations (SecOps), where understaffed and overwhelmed security teams struggle to defend against a threat landscape that is growing in volume and sophistication, leaving what we call technical debt. Technical debt is the implied cost of not maintaining technology devices, such as computers, servers, and applications, at a state where the organization and technology landscape requires them to be. These outdated systems and components are also often known as legacy infrastructure.

Google Cloud, with Armis, believes that successfully defending against modern threats requires modern thinking and modern solutions, which is why they have a fresh take at what threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) can be with Google Cloud Security. The Google Cloud Security, security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions integrate attack surface management technology, and provide more robust threat intelligence to help defenders get ahead of the latest threats.

Empower your team with Mandiant threat intelligence from Google Cloud to gain a dynamic understanding of the attack lifecycle. By combining machine, adversary, and operational cyber threat intelligence, you can effectively understand and defend against relevant threats.

Integrating Armis Centrix™ with Google Cloud Security is simple and can be done through a straightforward API in approximately 30 minutes. This powerful combination offers a complete end-to-end security solution, enabling you to confidently navigate your digital transformation journey.
