The Department of Defense (DoD) faces mounting cybersecurity risks from adversarial nation states across the enterprise. As adversaries grow more sophisticated, traditional cyber security solutions fall short in providing the complete visibility, security and control necessary to secure IT environments. Armis delivers a purpose-built, on-premises Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) solution designed to empower the Defense Department with comprehensive cyber exposure management, asset discovery, and vulnerability prioritization & mitigation solution, without compromising operational continuity or data sovereignty.
The Challenge
On-Premise environments have long served as the preferred architecture in safeguarding national security assets by isolating critical systems from the internet and broader networks. Unfortunately, isolation alone is not impenetrable. Insider threats, removable media, and legacy systems expose these environments to potential intrusions, lateral movement and ultimately operational disruption.
Key challenges include
- Limited Visibility: Legacy security tools fail to uncover unmanaged, ephemeral or undocumented IT and cyber-physical assets.
- Stagnant Vulnerability Management: On-Premise systems often fall behind in patch management and fail to detect evolving threats.
- Inconsistent Security Posture: Despite investments in on-premise GOTS & COTS solutions, these capabilities often operate independent of each other. Integration has proven challenging, cost prohibitive, and traditionally reactive as opposed to proactive.
Federal agencies require a modern, stable, and secure platform that thrives within these constraints which is why Armis On-Premise was developed.
