By GlobalDataOutlook: Organizations struggle to maintain an accurate asset inventory database, as most firms lack total awareness of all assets across business verticals and are unable to accurately assess and reduce risk. To do business, every organization relies substantially on linked assets and devices of various types, which adds complexity and causes security blind spots. Armis Agentless Device Security Platform helps address this concern by providing complete insight over managed and unmanaged IoT, industrial, and medical devices, as well as applications, cloud, and virtual instances. It offers an agentless monitoring solution that is completely passive. This is crucial since many devices cannot use a traditional security agent, and the scanning might cause sensitive environments to be disrupted or crash. Armis has raised $300M in funding from Brookfield Technology Partners with participation from Insight Partners, CapitalG, and Georgian Partners in 2021. It intends to use the funds to accelerate its growth, including market expansion outside North America, and also enable future acquisitions to help advance the capabilities of the Armis platform.
