The Invisible Frontier
The explosion of unmanaged and un-agentable devices created a massive security blind spot. Modern networks are no longer just servers and laptops; they are filled with Internet of Things (IoT), operational technology (OT), and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, from security cameras and smart sensors to industrial controllers and infusion pumps. Traditional security solutions, like endpoint detection and response (EDR), rely on installing software agents, which is impossible on these devices. This leaves security teams with:
- Incomplete Asset Inventory: They don’t know what’s on their network, making it impossible to manage.
- Unquantified Risk: They cannot see vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or policy violations on these devices.
- An Expanded Attack Surface: Attackers actively target these unsecured devices as easy entry points to pivot into the broader corporate network.
Orchestrating Security Across the Entire Device Landscape
The solution is the integration of Armis’s agentless device visibility and security with the Trellix AI-powered security platform. This partnership combines Armis’s comprehensive asset discovery with Trellix’s advanced threat detection and response capabilities.
- What Armis Brings: Armis provides a complete, real-time, and contextualized inventory of every device on the network, managed or unmanaged. It passively monitors network traffic to discover and classify each asset, assess its risk posture, and baseline its normal behavior without requiring any agents.
- What Trellix Brings: Trellix Helix provides a unified security operations engine that leverages data from the Trellix AI-powered security platform and hundreds of third parties. It ingests telemetry from multiple sources (cloud, endpoint, network, email, and more) to detect, investigate, and respond to threats. It excels at correlating security telemetry to identify complex attack chains and orchestrating automated responses. Trellix ePO centralizes endpoint defense by enforcing robust policies for threat prevention, data protection, and forensic collection. By integrating Application Control for execution management and whitelisting, it proactively identifies and neutralizes advanced attacks across the enterprise.
