Armis Asset Intelligence Engine

What Armis Asset Intelligence Engine is

Armis Asset Intelligence Engine is a cloud-based knowledge base that supports asset classification and threat detection in Armis Centrix. It tracks managed, unmanaged, and IoT assets observed across Armis customers; Armis says the total exceeds five billion. Asset profiles can include communication frequency, protocols, typical data volume, stationary status, software, and activity history. The engine uses information about an asset’s role in its environment to help assess what it is doing and what it should be doing. Centrix compares real-time asset state and behavior with known-good baselines for similar assets. Deviations can trigger alerts, and Centrix can automatically disconnect or quarantine an asset. The threat detection engine uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify misconfiguration, policy violations, abnormal activity, or indicators of compromise. Discovery covers hardware, software, cloud, and network assets without agents. Armis says it supports hundreds of pre-built API integrations across categories such as CMDBs, EDRs, vulnerability scanners, firewalls, NACs, and cloud platforms, plus custom integrations through an open API framework. Named examples include ServiceNow, Jira, BMC, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender.
