Armis Centrix for Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation

Our Solutionrnat a Glance

• Prioritize vulnerabilities that posernthe greatest risk to your business
• Receive optional early warningsrnfor targeted attacks - even beforerna CVE is published
• Gain full vulnerability lifecyclernmanagement through integrationrnwith your existing tools

The Current Modelrnis Broken

• The volume of accumulated vulnerabilities thatrnorganizations need to deal with is measured inrnthe millions.1rn With every new asset deployed inrnsupport of growth, efficiency and innovation, thernenterprise attack surface expands. Accordingrnto the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure SecurityrnAgency (CISA), adversaries exploit vulnerabilitiesrnwithin just 15 days of their discovery, while itrntypically takes several months to patch them.rnUnfortunately, many organizations continue tornput more money into revamped versions of stalerntechnologies, or continue to leverage inadequaternscoring systems based on the characteristicsrnof vulnerabilities rather than the risk to theirrnbusiness:

CVSS

• (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) isrna ranking system that marks the severity ofrnknown vulnerabilities using a score of 1-10.rnCVSS scoring however, does not take intornaccount asset criticality in relation to thernbusiness context. 

EPSS

• (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimatesrnthe likelihood that a vulnerability will bernexploited in the wild. While the intent behindrnthis initiative is helpful, it still does not take intornaccount specific conditions or compensatingrncontrols within an organization’s network.

A New Approach is Needed

• Resource constraints, limited budgets, personnel shortages, and competing priorities: howrndo you optimize the use of limited resources and minimize exposure to the business? Thernanswer is risk-based vulnerability prioritization, executed with surgical precision.rnArmis Centrix™ for Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation consolidates all vulnerabilitiesrnthat are relevant to your business and enables security teams to quickly identify andrnremediate those vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited and negatively impactrnthe business, Armis produces a laser focused list of vulnerabilities, based on the followingrnkey elements

Asset Impact

• What value does the assetrnhave to the business? 

Asset Exposure

• Is the asset internet facing,rnexposed externally and/or internally?

CVE Criticality

• Based on a multitude of facets includingrnArmis Risk Factors, CISA KEV, CVSS, etc.

Early Warning

• AI technology that leverages dark web,rnhoneypots and human intelligence to stoprntargeted attacks before they impact you.

Armis Centrix™ for VulnerabilityrnPrioritization and Remediation

• Armis has been acclaimed by customers, partners, and analysts as it redefined vulnerabilityrnmanagement by combining real-world threat intelligence and analytics with your ownrnbusiness landscape. By taking into account the actual risk to the business, we are able torndeliver a manageable and prioritized list of vulnerabilities - and what to do about them. With Armis you can manage the risk by prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities, and quicklyrnremediating those vulnerabilities to reduce your organization’s risk. Our superior capabilitiesrnaround consolidation, prioritization and remediation as well as completeness of the productrnsets us far above traditional vulnerability assessment and management tools. All of this,rnwithout disruption and working in conjunction with your existing tools and workflows.

See

• Consolidate vulnerabilities and security findings
• Fill in coverage gaps
• Enrich with context and recommendations

Protect

• Prioritize based on criticalityrnto the business, severity of thernvulnerability, exploitability
• rnOptional: receive early warningsrnfor targeted threats, before theyrnare ever launched

Manage

• Reduce risk through integrationsrnwith existing ticketing andrnenforcement tools
• rnMonitor progress throughrnongoing dashboards andrnreports

Consolidate Security Findingsrnand Fill in Coverage

Gaps

• Unifying security findings from many different sources and feeds is a difficult and timernconsuming task. But with Armis, this is addressed and handled automatically for everyrnasset in the environment.
• Armis starts with a complete, unifiedrnview of every asset in your environmentrn- physical and virtual - whether it is IT,rnOperational Technology (OT), Internetrnof Things (IoT) or medical (IoMT). Forrnnon-traditional assets, Armis leveragesrncontinuous traffic inspection and SmartrnActive Querying to extract details aboutrnall devices connected to the network.
• Armis combines security findings from traditional scanners, endpoint detection and responsern(EDR) solutions and cloud vendors, with its native network traffic analysis and context fromrnthe Armis AI-driven Asset Intelligence Engine, which sees, secures, and manages billionsrnof assets around the world in real time. 

Enrich with AssetrnContext andrnRecommendations

• Organizations already using a vulnerabilityrnscanner for the IT environment can integraternArmis with their existing scanner to gather furtherrninformation and context about the CVEs.
• For assets not covered by vulnerability scanners, Armis fills the gap by using agentless and nonintrusive techniques:
•  Continuous monitoring of wired and wireless traffic to identify each device without disruption.
• Smart Active Queries to communicate proactively with devices in their nativemlanguage in a safe manner.
• Armis then assesses the results against the AIdriven Asset Intelligence Engine. This unique crowd-sourced knowledge base tracks profiles for billions of assets around the world. It is continuously updated with the latest information about vulnerabilities and exploits, ensuring you are always up to date. 

Prioritize Vulnerabilities

• Prioritization of mitigation efforts by business criticality helps your security and IT/OTrnoperations teams focus their efforts on the vulnerabilities that matter most. When your teamsrnknow exactly which critical assets are affected, by which vulnerabilities, they can act quicklyrnand precisely to remediate the issues that pose the biggest threat to your business.
• Let’s take an internet facing asset with manyrnconnections and dependencies that runsrnessential business operations or services.  

Armis Centrix™rnfor Actionable Threat Intelligence

• Armis Centrix™ for Actionable Threat Intelligence is an optional integration and introducesrna paradigm shift. Whereas traditional security goes to work when an attack is launched,rnactionable threat intelligence enables organizations to find potential threats before they arernever launched and before their environment is ever impacted. In many cases, months earlier.rnIn fact, Armis has hundreds of instances where customers were proactively alerted to a threatrnbefore a CVE was issued.

RemediaternVulnerabilities

Workflow integration with security and ticketing solutions like JIRA and ServiceNow help to reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) and manage the risk-reduction process. This includes the ability to:

• Manually or automatically create tickets
• Update existing tickets as new assets are discovered in your environment

Armis Centrix™ also connects to your existing security tools to set remediation and mitigation actions, including:

•  Updating firewall rules
•  Adding security tags
•  Configuration changes
•  Fully automated remediation and patching of the vulnerable asset

Track Progressrnand Manage Process

• Armis offers full vulnerability lifecycle managementrnfeatures to continuously improve the security ofrnyour environment.
• Ongoing monitoring, dashboards, and reports helprnyou track vulnerability mitigation efforts over timernand demonstrate improvement in the organization’srnsecurity posture.

With Armis Centrix™ for VulnerabilityrnPrioritization and Remediation you get:

Efficiency

• Dramatically improve efficiency by focussing on what matters most

Accuracy
