Armis is Named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Medical Device Risk Management Platforms

We are proud to share that Armis has been named in the latest Gartner Market Guide for Medical Device Risk Management Platforms. It has been a stellar several months of achievement and validation for the investments Armis is making in our Armis Centrix™ platform and our product suite for healthcare, which includes Armis Centrix™ for Medical Device Security, Armis Centrix™ for Actionable Threat Intelligence, and Armis Centrix™ for VIPR – Prioritization and Remediation. Over the past year, we have consistently improved and developed our platform, including two acquisitions of CTCI and Silk Security in 2024. These ongoing efforts strengthen our protection across the entire attack surface, providing end-to-end exposure management that leverages actionable cyber intelligence for detection, prioritization and remediation of real-time threats.

The 2024 Gartner Market Guide shares that the current market space has developed sophisticated capabilities to address the first four maturation stages. Over time, the playing field has evened out from a key functional requirement perspective — all vendors in the market fulfill the requirements for the “reactive” stages of the maturity model. Due to increased threats to critical infrastructure-related organizations, governments are recognizing that the ubiquitous IoMT technology landscape supporting them is key to national security and economic prosperity.

With this latest 2024 Market Guide for Medical Device Risk Management Platforms, Gartner emphasizes that IoMT security should “include the entire operational life cycle rather than focusing on specific aspects or vectors of risk or utilization… Medical device risk management is one component of a larger whole.” Armis is recognized as a Representative Vendor in the market. As per Gartner, HDO CIOs can use this guide to advance their understanding of essential capabilities and notable vendors.

According to Gartner, healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) have developed a broad set of requirements, including asset discovery, risk analysis, risk mitigation, event detection and response, device analytics and management, and dashboards and compliance reporting. However, the next era for this market will be differentiated by vendors’ ability to develop capabilities that allow their HDO customers to get ahead of the cyberthreats, proactively protecting their environments and patients.’’

Emphasizing a proactive and protective approach rings true for Armis Centrix™. Unlike traditional approaches, Armis provides a comprehensive cyber exposure management platform that effectively manages every device across your entire network. As the Market Guide states, “currently, most IoMT devices in production have minimal internal computing resources, with limited ability to install antivirus, encryption and other forms of protection. However, they commonly connect to healthcare providers’ back-end computing resources and require protection. These factors create the market opportunity for healthcare-provider-specific solutions to assist end-user cybersecurity teams in protecting their patients, their data and their business processes.”

Armis Centrix™ is uniquely positioned as the most advanced cyber exposure management platform, powering proactive security for healthcare. Our platform leverages proactive threat prevention, including anomaly detection, early warning intelligence and threat detection, artificial intelligence and alerts informed by the current threat landscape. We consolidate vulnerabilities and security findings based on asset context to address the full cyber risk management life cycle. The Market Guide recommends inventory of all IoMT assets, such as minor sensors, clinical facility controls and medical devices, to create visibility into IoMT networks and topologies.
