The Challenge of Continuous Monitoring, Tracking and Reporting
Maintaining process integrity in complex attack surface environments is difficult, but necessary.
The Complexity of OT/IoT Environments
Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) environments are inherently complex, dynamic, and heterogeneous. From legacy PLCs and HMIs to modern smart sensors and edge devices, these systems often lack standardization and visibility. Unlike IT systems, many OT/IoT devices cannot support agents or traditional scanning tools, making it difficult for security teams to continuously monitor behaviors, detect anomalies, or ensure consistent process integrity across the environment. This fragmentation creates significant blind spots, especially in critical infrastructure where uptime, safety, and process reliability are non-negotiable.
Continuous Monitoring Without Disruption
Maintaining continuous visibility into OT/IoT systems without disrupting operations requires a fundamentally different approach. Traditional monitoring methods, like active polling or intrusive scans, can crash fragile devices or interfere with real-time processes. Armis solves this challenge with highly sophisticated AI based monitoring that observes network traffic, device communications, and behavioral baselines in real time. This enables organizations to detect deviations, unauthorized changes, or security threats as they emerge, without impacting the assets or impacting industrial processes.
Actionable Reporting for Compliance and Response
Security in OT/IoT isn’t just about detecting threats, it’s about operational resilience. Industrial organizations face mounting pressure from regulators, insurers, and internal stakeholders to demonstrate continuous monitoring, risk mitigation, and incident response readiness. Armis automatically tracks all device activity, correlates it against known threat models like MITRE ATT&CK® for ICS, and generates rich, actionable reports. Whether for compliance audits, executive dashboards, or forensic investigations, Armis provides the comprehensive data and context needed to uphold process integrity and cyber resilience.
Lifecycle Management
With Armis Centrix™, you can monitor and audit changes, track and report on errors, and create an end-to-end process for managing your vulnerabilities.
Lifecycle Management With Process Integrity
Optimize the security and reliability of your OT/IoT environment with intelligent lifecycle management.
Lifecycle management is essential to maintaining the security, compliance, and performance of ICS and OT assets throughout their entire operational lifespan. From initial deployment to ongoing maintenance and eventual decommissioning, managing each stage of the asset lifecycle ensures your critical infrastructure remains secure, resilient, and aligned with both regulatory requirements and evolving business objectives.
Mitigate Data Breaches and Ransomware Attacks
Track and report on errors produced by ICS assets or misconfigured ICS assets and take action.
Prevent Potential Disruption With Tracking and Reporting
The ability to track and report errors stemming from ICS assets or misconfigurations is pivotal for maintaining operational stability and preventing potential disruptions. Monitoring the performance of ICS assets allows organizations to identify anomalies, diagnose underlying issues, and take corrective actions to prevent downtime or safety risks. This proactive approach minimizes the impact of errors on critical processes and contributes to maintaining smooth operations.
Water Utility Gains Total Visibility Into OT Assets Without Affecting Sensitive Devices
Enhanced Visibility into OT Network Helps Secure and Protect Drinking Water for Millions of People
A major U.S. water utility needed device behavior and communication visibility in its sensitive OT network while ensuring service continuity.
The OT network is managed separately from the IT network, yet both are under the same security umbrella. By deploying Armis in conjunction with Gigamon’s deep observability into network traffic, the security team achieved full visibility into the utility’s OT assets, along with deeper visibility into the traffic traversing the IT and OT networks.
