Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…

Offers contextual prioritization and risk-based remediation of vulnerability
An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite. There are a lot of GRC suites available, like Archer, MetricStream, Rsam, Protiviti, for example. So how would a solution like this work if my company has already invested thousands or maybe millions in a GRC solution? Do I still need it and how does it fit into an existing SAP environment? There could be interoperability, having more data sources, integrating Splunk, Qualys, FireEye, Rapid7, Carbon Black. I'm sure all that can be done to an extent, with a little more insight and a little more accuracy on the industry numbers and trends. I'd like the solution to offer any sort of assistance in any way with the remediation part, not just identification of vulnerability risk, and that is second.
