Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2025

A report by independent analyst firm Gartner

Armis Recognized in Three Categories in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations: CPS Security, CAASM, and Exposure Assessment Platforms

As enterprise infrastructure expands, security operations leaders are increasingly seeking enhanced asset visibility and innovative strategies to boost organizational resilience against rapidly evolving threats designed to bypass existing security controls. While this transformation affects multiple facets of security programs, organizations this year are shifting their focus from traditional vulnerability management to a more comprehensive exposure management approach.

Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2025 chart

The Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2025 recognizes Armis in three innovation categories:

  • Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) Security: This category is the overall discipline for ensuring that CPS remain safe. It includes CPS Protection Platforms, for which Armis is a Leader in the 2025 Magic Quadrant® for CPS Protection Platforms.
  • Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM): This category focuses on enabling security teams to overcome asset visibility and exposure challenges.
  • Exposure Assessment Platforms (EAPs): EAPs continuously identify and prioritize exposures, such as vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The Gartner Magic Quadrant® for Exposure Assessment Platforms will be published soon.

We believe that inclusion as a Sample Vendor in these categories demonstrates the broad applicability of our solutions.
