You Can’t Identify Risk Without Context
Organizations can’t effectively prioritize without understanding the context of where findings were discovered and whether an exposure is likely to be exploited.
Manual Asset Enrichment
Is an asset part of an organization’s crown jewels? Is it vulnerable to a newly identified exploit? Is the asset subject to a compliance mandate or regulatory requirements? Are there mitigating controls in place? Answering these questions by assembling asset profiles, properties and attributes in spreadsheets is no longer sustainable or feasible.
Inefficient Prioritization
Security teams rely on teams responsible for remediation to implement fixes. Without consolidated prioritization and contextualization across security domains, teams can’t effectively determine which issues surfaced by multiple siloed tools are more urgent than others. Teams often end up either not assigning remediation tasks to teams for findings that are high risk or losing credibility by assigning tasks for assets at low risk of exploit, such as those in development environments.
Theoretical Risk, Not Actual Risk
Reliance on technical severity approaches (like CVSS and EPSS) fails to take into account asset context, asset business impact and likelihood of exploit by threat actors. By focusing on mathematical calculations, and not contextualized risk creates a wider window for exploitation and an often incomplete remediation lifecycle plan.
Armis Centrix™ for VIPR Pro – Prioritization and Remediation
Gain Full Situational Awareness and Context on Every Asset and Every Security Finding
Data-driven, subjective prioritization assessment based on security risk, asset profiles and business context.
Asset Enrichment and Contextualization
Armis Centrix™ natively performs asset inventorying and enrichment, as well as ingests asset data from third party systems such as CMDBs, security scanning tools, ITSMs, cloud resource management services, code repositories, and container registries to ingest asset data and profiles. Armis Centrix™ then allows security teams to apply custom labels and risk weightings in order to apply asset criticality and business context that is specific to their environment and business.
Adaptable Prioritization
Assign context to findings for prioritization- asset profiles and attributes such environmental information and security risk weighting, threat intelligence, likelihood of exploit.
The Context You Need to Prioritize Remediation Efforts
Automate prioritization across consolidated findings from all integrated security tools, infrastructure and threat intelligence based on business impact, adaptable risk assessment, likelihood of the exploit and active exploit activity. Integration with Armis Centrix™ AMS for asset profiles and enrichment provides another layer of context, including Sites, Boundaries and Risk Factors. Security teams can further leverage this context to associate and propagate custom metadata with assets to reflect specific attributes, and apply custom risk weightings.
Close the Exposure Window
Consolidates intelligence on vulnerabilities that matter most with internal context to prioritize critical findings and assets.
Enable Proactive Risk Reduction
Armis VIPR Pro integrates third-party intelligence feeds and Armis Centrix™ for Early Warning alerts to identify threats like remotely exploitable vulnerabilities and malware attacks. By connecting threat intelligence with asset visibility, it highlights vulnerabilities that are actively being exploited, so they can be fixed quickly.
The platform also goes beyond the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list by providing more detailed threat intelligence, like the number of known exploits, when they were discovered, and which threat actors are involved.
