Armis offers free access to real-time cyber threat database
The database has been developed to provide a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities by integrating intelligence on exploited vulnerabilities, emerging threats, and data-driven insights contributed by the broader cybersecurity community. This resource is powered by Armis Labs and leverages the capabilities of the Armis Asset Intelligence Engine along with early warning features.
Security teams using the database will be able to access real-time data on exploits as well as artificial intelligence-driven analysis. The solution is designed to help organisations efficiently prioritise and mitigate threats before cyber attackers can exploit them. The database also receives input from Armis Centrix for VIPR Pro, enabling Armis customers to benefit from crowdsourced information which supports the prioritisation process specific to their industries.
The company's intention is to help organisations avoid overreliance on single sources of vulnerability data such as the MITRE CVE database. The launch follows recent uncertainty surrounding the funding of the MITRE CVE database and is timed to address concerns about fragmentation or delays in vulnerability disclosure.
Nadir Izrael, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at Armis, said: "As threat actors continue to amplify the scale and sophistication of cyberattacks, a proactive approach to reducing risk is essential. The Armis Vulnerability Intelligence Database is a critical, accessible resource built by the security community, for the security community. It translates vulnerability data into real-world impact so that businesses can adapt quickly and make more informed decisions to manage cyber threats."
Research cited by Armis indicates that 58% of global organisations currently respond to threats only after damage has occurred. Additionally, 22% of IT decision-makers identify the lack of continuous vulnerability assessment as a significant gap in their cybersecurity operations. Many organisations continue to track vulnerabilities manually, such as by using spreadsheets, which can leave networks exposed to emerging risks.
Armis has also been authorised as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program. This enables the company to review and assign CVE IDs to newly identified vulnerabilities. The CVE Program is an international initiative focused on identifying and cataloguing publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Commenting on the company's new role as a CNA and the launch of the database, Izrael added: "We are focused on going beyond detection to provide real security – before an attack, not just after. It is our duty and goal to help raise the tide of cybersecurity awareness and action across all industries. This is key to effectively addressing the entire lifecycle of cyber threats and managing cyber risk exposure to keep society safe and secure."
The Armis Vulnerability Intelligence Database is available for early preview, with plans for a wider release later in the year.

Armis surpasses USD $300 million in annual recurring revenue
Armis has reported that it has exceeded USD $300 million in annual recurring revenue after registering an increase from USD $200 million in under twelve months. The company provides cyber exposure management and security for a wide range of global organisations, which include United Airlines, Colgate Palmolive, and Mondelez, as well as more than a third of the Fortune 100 and numerous federal agencies and states. According to Armis, its client base also accounts for 60% of Fortune 10 companies, three of the five largest US retailers, three of the five largest banks, and several other major enterprises. The company's technology protects operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), information technology (IT), and medical environments, assisting organisations in addressing vulnerabilities from software code to cloud infrastructure. Revenue milestone Armis attributes this rapid increase in annual recurring revenue to a significant demand among global organisations for the Armis Centrix platform and related products. The company states that organisations are increasingly adopting Armis' offerings to gain improved visibility, protection, and management of their entire digital attack surface. "Surpassing another $100m milestone in ARR so quickly proves we have the right platform, the right set of products and our customers are using Armis for complete cyber risk exposure management and security," said Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO and Co-Founder of Armis. "Customers globally are excited about our roadmap and recognise the vital role we play being one of their most important security providers. I want to thank all our customers, partners and the Armis team for their continued delivery as we secure the most critical environments of every major organisation and vertical." Partner focus The company has increased its efforts to expand partner engagement and boost revenue generated by strategic partnerships. With contracts signed with several large Global Systems Integrators, Armis has sought to make its cyber exposure management solution more accessible to organisations around the world. Its partner ecosystem now includes organisations such as AWS, KPMG, Accenture, PWC, Fortinet, Guidepoint, WWT, Google, and numerous others. Armis has also grown its physical presence, recently opening offices in Munich, London, Bucharest and New York. Over the past year, the company expanded its product portfolio by releasing three new products and made several technology acquisitions. These developments have extended its expertise in OT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, now enabling support for environments that are airgapped or disconnected from the internet through new hybrid and on-premises offerings. Product development and growth "The investments we've made in organic and inorganic product development and in building the strong go-to-market machine we have built are paying off and driving huge momentum," said Jonathan Carr, Chief Financial Officer of Armis. "Each technology that we develop works together, creating a better together story for our customers and enabling us to address security in ways that just were not possible before. We strive to help organisations move from 'detect and then respond' to a more proactive approach that allows them to protect their organisations before an attack happens. The results we have seen have been a great validation of this approach and we are poised to have our best year yet, growing in excess of top public company benchmarks." Armis reports that its growth and product development are driven by both internal development efforts and acquisitions. The company states that the combined capabilities of its different technologies create a unified offering for its customers. Analyst recognition Industry analysts such as Gartner, Forrester and IDC have ranked Armis in their reports. Most recently, Armis was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms and as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Unified Vulnerability Solutions, Q3 2025. Armis' Centrix platform and suite of solutions continue to be demonstrated in partnership with organisations across various cities as part of the Armis Connect roadshow series, highlighting cybersecurity challenges and their approaches to addressing them.

Zyxel advances Secure by Design for global SMB networking security
Zyxel Networks has announced details of its progress in implementing Secure by Design principles across its products and services for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking globally. The company has adopted the Secure by Design Pledge from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is focused on integrating security from the earliest stages of product development. This initiative encourages manufacturers to build security into their products by default and to improve transparency for users. Zyxel Networks has become the first company in Taiwan and one of the earliest in the global SMB networking sector to take the CISA pledge. The move aims to demonstrate a proactive approach to cybersecurity within the business's product portfolio and operations. Key security measures The company highlighted several key steps it has taken to align with the Secure by Design goals, particularly across its Nebula cloud-managed product line, which includes firewalls, routers, switches, and access points. The first step covers multi-factor authentication (MFA). Zyxel Networks stated that all Nebula cloud-managed devices support MFA. Notably, it became the first vendor globally to offer MFA for wireless access through its Secure WiFi feature, allowing administrators to enforce secure access for remote access point users. For firewalls, MFA is available for both administrative logins and remote VPN users, and is offered via email-based verification or by integrating with Microsoft and Google accounts. On password security, the company reported that devices shipped from the factory are now supplied with random, unique passwords that must be changed during the initial setup. This, it said, ensures improved security from the outset. When creating a Nebula cloud-managed network, users are also required to generate strong credentials upon first login. To reduce vulnerabilities, Zyxel Networks has adopted secure coding and development practices, such as following the OWASP Top 10 guidelines, employing static code and firmware analysis tools like Checkmarx, and using advanced techniques including automated combinatorial testing (ACTS). The business also commissions independent third-party penetration testers to help identify and resolve potential security issues. Zyxel Networks underscored its track record for timely security patches by referencing its role as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) since 2021. According to the company, its average Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) for vulnerabilities has remained in line with industry benchmarks over the past five years, with investments made towards maintaining a fast and coordinated response process. The company has established a comprehensive vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP), offering public guidelines and reporting channels. Zyxel Networks notes that this transparency and consistency in vulnerability reporting has resulted in "the highest level of CNA acceptance, which is unmatched by any other SMB networking brands to date." Network logging and incident response Within its Nebula cloud-managed range, Zyxel Networks has ensured that all products now include between seven and thirty days of detailed network logging, with security insights delivered via SecuReporter, a cloud-based analytics platform providing a centralised perspective on network activity and security threats. For firewalls and security routers, access and operational logs are kept for up to 12 months, supporting comprehensive audit and incident-response capabilities. "We believe that security must be built in, not bolted on," said Gary Chen, ANZ Regional Head at Zyxel Networks. "Our commitment to Secure by Design helps us protect our customers and partners in a fast-evolving threat landscape. It contributes to a healthier IT ecosystem, and transparency in vulnerability reporting is a hallmark of responsible, modern security practice. Our approach is grounded in openness, honesty and long-term trust, which is fully aligned with CISA's vision and, more importantly, our customers' expectations." Zyxel Networks stated that these measures are intended to deliver on customer expectations for product transparency and reliable security. The application of the Secure by Design pledge to its product portfolio continues as part of ongoing cybersecurity improvements for the SMB networking sector.
