Armis is an agentless device security platform used to help enterprises see and protect unmanaged and IoT devices. The Balbix integration with Armis ingests IoT, OT assets, associated software and vulnerabilities information.
Balbix uses AI to aggregate, normalize and deduplicate ingested information, along with data integrated from your other IT and cybersecurity tools, to provide a unified view of your entire asset inventory, vulnerabilities, and business and operational context. This information is further analyzed by Balbix AI models to provide deployment gap analysis, risk-based vulnerability prioritization (with strict rank and score) and quantification of risk for a single asset, groups of assets and the entire enterprise.
