Never Trust, Always Verify
It may be easy for managed computers, but implementing zero trust is different for unmanaged and IoT devices like smart TVs, printers, VoIP phones, IP cameras, medical devices, and industrial devices. Most existing security products are blind to these types of devices which:
- Don’t support security agents
- Don’t support patch management
- Don’t tolerate network scanning
- Don’t generate event logs
- Often use dangerous Telnet or HTTP
Armis Capabilities for Zero Trust Pillars
Data & Devices
Armis provides the most comprehensive, unified asset inventory and device discovery available today. You see what each device is (make, model, location, and more) as well as the risks and software vulnerabilities on each device. Armis shares this information with your other Zero Trust systems to allow them to make better decisions about risk and network access.
Armis monitors each device’s data transmission and alerts when sensitive data is sent without encryption. Armis detects and alerts on data exfiltration attempts.
Network
Armis lets you automate network segmentation by providing a wealth of information about every device in your environment including the device type, manufacturer, vulnerabilities, and each device’s communication needs. This information can be fed into your existing network infrastructure including firewalls and NAC systems. Once network segmentation has been established, Armis monitors actual traffic and alerts if/when unauthorized network bridges are created.
Visibility and Analytics
Armis monitors network traffic to detect behavioral anomalies, i.e. when a device is operating outside of its normal “known-good” baseline. This deviation can be caused by a device misconfiguration, a policy violation, abnormal behavior such as inappropriate connection requests, unusual software running on a device, or threat intelligence that indicates that the device has been compromised.
Remediation and Orchestration
Armis easily integrates with your existing workflows and tools, automating bulk ticketing across multiple ticketing systems with clear, actionable remediation guidance. Armis provides configurable and customizable integration with ticketing systems such as ServiceNow, JIRA, Zendesk and Freshservice to ensure that remediation workflows are consistent with existing workflows and assignment models.
Our platform also works with your existing network, security, and management systems to trigger and automate incident response.
People
Armis integrates with existing identity service providers and associates users with devices on your network. That helps threat hunters and IT support personnel identify the names of users who are behaving in risky ways, for example using malicious software or visiting dangerous websites.
Workloads
Armis discovers, classifies, and profiles both physical and virtual servers in on-premises and/or cloud environments. Armis monitors traffic between devices and cloud environments in order to detect behavioral anomalies or traffic patterns which could be indicative of a threat or data exfiltration.
Traditional Endpoint Security Solutions Can Leave Gaps
EDR
Requires an agent be installed.
Limits visibility to see managed assets only during continuous monitoring and response.
UEBA
Tracks behavior of users instead of devices.
Does not look for anomalies in device behavior, only users.
Does not understand good vs. “bad” device behavior.
NAC
Discovery of devices is limited to the enterprise network.
Does not track threats or compromised devices.
