Who is Armis Security?
Armis Security is an enterprise cybersecurity company that provides an agentless asset intelligence and security platform for managed and unmanaged connected devices across IT, Operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), IoMT, and cloud environments.
- Agentless asset visibility and inventory for managed and unmanaged devices across IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments (asset management / security).
- Risk assessment, exposure management, and policy-based controls for connected devices (cyber risk management).
- Threat detection and response for networked assets using traffic analysis, device behavior profiling, and context enrichment (threat detection & response).
- Integrations with network, security, and IT service management platforms for automated workflows and enforcement (security orchestration & integrations).
- Sector-focused solutions for industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, public sector, and critical infrastructure (vertical cybersecurity solutions).

More About Armis Security
Armis Security focuses on asset intelligence and cybersecurity for connected devices in enterprise and institutional environments, where organizations operate large fleets of IT, OT, IoT, and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) assets. Its platform (cyber asset attack surface management) is designed to provide a consolidated, agentless inventory of all assets on wired and wireless networks, including devices that cannot run traditional security agents such as industrial controllers, medical equipment, building management systems, and various embedded devices.
The Armis platform collects and correlates data from network traffic, infrastructure devices, and external IT and security systems to build a real-time asset inventory and asset intelligence graph. It uses passive traffic monitoring, device fingerprinting, and integrations with technologies such as switches, wireless controllers, firewalls, Network Access Control (NAC), endpoint management, and cloud services. This approach allows Armis to profile device types, operating systems, firmware levels, locations, and communication patterns without active scanning that might disrupt sensitive OT or medical equipment.
Within enterprise security architectures, Armis is commonly aligned with categories such as cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM), Extended detection and response (XDR) for devices (XDR for devices), network-based threat detection, and OT/IoT security. The platform can integrate with existing security stacks, including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR), identity and access management, and ticketing or IT service management tools. These integrations enable automated policy enforcement actions such as network segmentation changes, device quarantine through NAC or firewalls, and incident workflow creation.
For regulated and high-dependency environments like healthcare delivery organizations, manufacturing plants, and critical infrastructure operators, Armis emphasizes continuous device risk assessment. The platform maps devices to known vulnerabilities and configuration issues, assesses exposure based on connectivity and behavior, and supports compliance and governance reporting. Its asset intelligence can be used to inform network segmentation projects, zero trust initiatives, OT security programs, and broader risk management processes.
From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, Armis can be categorized under cybersecurity, with specific alignment to asset intelligence and management, IoT/OT security, medical device security, and threat detection and response. Its solution areas are structured around providing visibility, risk and exposure management, and threat detection for connected devices, while integrating with established enterprise security tools and frameworks to support automated enforcement and incident response.
