Armis offers free access to real-time cyber threat database
Armis has made its Vulnerability Intelligence Database available to organisations at no cost in an effort to improve the way security teams identify and address cyber threats. 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. Follow us on: Share on:

Agentic AI is suddenly everywhere. Here's how companies are evaluating and using these buzzy tech tools
Like many companies these days, cybersecurity firm Armis is keeping a close eye on agentic AI, one of the hottest areas in tech over the past few months. Vendors say tools that rely on the technology can perform more complex workplace tasks with little human intervention, thereby saving businesses on labor costs. But agentic technology is also rapidly evolving, making corporate tech leaders unsure about which tools are best and whether better products will come along later. Costs can also balloon, particularly for those that get carried away by all the sales pitches and internal pressure to adopt a large number of agentic AI products. 'I fully expect to have approximately eight to 10 agentic solutions by the end of April—and hopefully not increase beyond that,' says Curtis Simpson, chief information security officer at Armis. It's a balancing act that many companies are facing. A quarter of employers will try out agentic AI this year, a figure that will swell to 50% by 2027, according to consulting firm Deloitte. Simpson plans a hybrid approach in which he tries one AI agent from a large provider—he says one option is Amazon Q, an agentic assistant that can be used by software developers, customer support employees, supply chain analysts, and other specialized capabilities. He also foresees using narrower agentic products, like Salesforce's Agentforce, which is mainly for sales teams. As the technologies evolve and Armis gets a better sense of what's best for the business, that mix will change. "We can drop more and more of those agents as we progress through this effort," says Simpson. Cloud-based security company Netskope is also trying to focus on agentic technologies. Mike Anderson, chief digital and information officer, says his team takes at least two meetings each week with existing partners and outside vendors to closely monitor the space. 'Everything we're doing is short-term commitments because the space is evolving so quickly,' says Anderson. Most of the AI agents Netskope has adopted have been built into workplace communications tool Slack, including a bot that can handle IT help desk requests and another from Crayon, a software company that monitors real-time competitor pricing to ensure Netskope is pricing its products competitively within the market. But workers can face a flurry of messages from the different bots in Slack, adding unnecessary complexity. Anderson wants to create a Netskope bot that can ingest all employee-to-agentic conversations with the IT help desk, Crayon, and others, so that the new company bot can be trained to retrieve information from the other bots supplied by outside vendors. 'I need the bot to rule the bots,' says Anderson. Kathy Kay, chief information officer of insurance company Principal Financial, who takes pitches from many vendors of agentic AI tools, says she isn't star struck by the latest industry buzzword. "I keep going back to, 'How do we make humans superhuman?'" asks Kay. Principal Financial's view is that agentic AI, copilots, and other niche forms of AI, are all tools designed to help employees work more effectively. What Kay still has to figure out is which agentic AI offerings will deliver the best business outcomes, while also taking into consideration other factors like speed, ease of integration, and cost. 'I do envision we will have more agents in production throughout this year,' says Kay. Kim Anstett, the CIO at Trellix, says she met with every department at the cybersecurity provider to discuss possible uses for AI agents and came up with a list of over 100. While internal excitement about agentic AI is high, and Anstett is beginning a few pilots of the technology, she also doesn't foresee buying agentic products from every vendor Trellix works with today. 'From a strategy perspective, initially we will limit the number of add ons we purchase,' says Anstett. 'We're looking at it from a cost perspective.' Patrick Richards, CIO of fleet management software provider Motive, says half of his time these days is dedicated to meeting with AI vendors, including about internal uses of agentic AI. He prefers narrower agentic applications, meaning he wants to give these tools limited autonomy so that he can avoid acting on hallucinations, or outputs that are inaccurate or misleading. Richards also intends to work with multiple vendors, which he acknowledges comes with more controls needed to manage data privacy and security. But it also gives Motive greater leverage when it comes to pricing. 'Do I want to enter into a new world where I have vendor lock with one AI platform, and then they slowly raise the price until I'm a frog in hot water and I'm boiling?' Richards asks. By casting a wide net, Richards believes he can "shop for the best agent provider for the actual business problem I'm trying to solve."
