COMPARE CPS PROTECTION PLATFORMS

Phosphorus vs. Armis

Don’t accept a product that’s costly to deploy, slow and inaccurate, and can’t prevent threats.

COMPARE

Why Customers choose
Phosphorus over Armis

When it comes to proactive xIoT (xTended Internet of Things) security management and breach prevention, not all solutions are created equal.
LEGACY APPROACH

Armis

No protection. Can’t stop attacks.

Passive detection and monitoring only. No remediation.
Only identifies vulnerabilities but does not FIX them.
Leaves the burden of manual fixes with your organization.
🚀 THE PHOSPHORUS DIFFERENCE

Phosphorus

The Industry's only proactive CPS Protection Platform

Only Phosphorus can FIND, FIX, and MANAGE every xIoT device without hardware or hassles.

Find Every Thing. Fix Every Thing.

LIMITED APPROACH

Armis

Inaccurate and incomplete discovery

Inaccurate, assumption-based discovery.
Passive and incomplete xIoT asset discovery.
Low-fidelity and low-confidence device identification.
Slow, with long mean-time-to-inventory.
🚀 THE PHOSPHORUS DIFFERENCE

Phosphorus

Intelligent Active Discovery is Here

Finally, you can discover, identify, and assess all IoT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT Cyber-Physical Systems quickly, accurately, and safely.

*Estimated times to completion are based on typical network configuration.Actual times may vary, depending on specific configurations and complexities of network environment.

LEGACY APPROACH

Armis

No xIoT Credential Management

Can not manage, change, or rotate xIoT device passwords.
Over 70% of IoT/OT/IoMT devices are deployed with default credentials.
Weak or default passwords remain a significant security risk.
A lack of regular rotations can result in extended unauthorized access.
🚀 THE PHOSPHORUS DIFFERENCE

Phosphorus

Rotate All xIoT Passwords With One Click

Built-in and native credential management ensures complex, regularly rotated credentials for all xIoT devices—eliminating major security loopholes from weak or default passwords.

Automatically change default xIoT credentials in as little as 30 minutes

LEGACY APPROACH

Armis

Costly and Hard To Deploy

Hardware-based product is complex, costly, and does not scale
Costly appliances required at every location, with no remediation
Requires expensive SPAN ports and modifications to network configurations
🚀 THE PHOSPHORUS DIFFERENCE

Phosphorus

Saves Time, Money, & Resources

Our software-based, agentless platform and automated remediation dramatically reduces rollout and discovery time — while eliminating manual device hardening, patching, and management.

Compare

Phosphorus vs. Armis

Armis
xIoT Discovery
Fast, safe, and comprehensive xIoT asset discovery
Patented Intelligent Active Discovery safely and accurately discovers and assesses all xIoT in as little as 15 minutes.
Slow, incomplete xIoT asset discovery
Passive monitoring and deep packet inspection takes weeks for discovery, with incomplete and inaccurate results.
Deployment
Easy, seamless deployment delivers instant risk reduction
Software-based, agentless platform deploys in minutes and delivers full discovery, hardening & remediation at scale – no hardware, agents, or hassles.
Complex and costly deployment that delays time-to-value
Heavy hardware-based deployment is slow, expensive, and does not scale across global locations. And no device hardening or remediation.
Patching and Remediation
Automatically FIND, FIX, and MANAGE every xIoT device at scale
With Phosphorus’ automated CPS Protection Platform, you can safely & efficiently patch and remediate even the most sensitive, mission-critical xIoT devices — with full control.
No Patching or remediation
No xIoT patching or remediation. Manually patching vulnerable xIoT devices can take 100s of hours of manual time and effort.
Password Management
Automated and native credential management
With Phosphorus, you can be hardening device configurations, changing default passwords, and rotating credentials at scale, and in as little as 30 minutes.
No Credential Management
Changing, managing, and hardening device configurations & passwords is simply not possible with passive network monitoring tools like Armis.
Real-Time Monitoring
& Alerting
Complete xIoT visibility and stateful monitoring
Native xIoT communication identifies and validates device state to detect environmental & configuration drift, and alerts you on any changes.
Passive low-fidelity and post-event alerts
No native communication. Passive monitoring and deep packet inspection provide only low-fidelity, post-incident alerts requiring manual investigation and triage.
