Cyber exposure management and security company Armis announced that it has achieved authorization from the U.S. DoD’s Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to operate at an Impact Level 5 (IL5). This means that Armis has met strict requirements to manage and secure the DoD’s critical infrastructure, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) systems.
“We are committed to helping Federal agencies like the Department of Defense address their toughest cybersecurity challenges,” said Alex Mosher, president and CRO at Armis. “Achieving DISA IL5 authorization is an important milestone for Armis as we continue to support DoD customers in safeguarding critical systems, sensitive data and national security infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.”
Armis empowers Federal agencies to build and optimize comprehensive cybersecurity programs with Armis Centrix, the FedRAMP and DISA IL authorized Cyber Exposure Management Platform. The company previously achieved FedRAMP Moderate and DISA IL4 authorizations in 2023.
Specifically Armis Centrix provides the DoD with the ability to fuse deep asset intelligence, spanning IT, OT (operational technology), IoT (Internet of Things), IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) and more, with advanced vulnerability management for proactive cybersecurity and defense. The AI-powered platform boosts operational resiliency and supports cross-functional alignment in complex DoD networks.
“Armis is uniquely positioned to help the DoD protect the entire cyber terrain in real time,” said Christian Terlecki, Senior Vice President of Public Sector at Armis. “From understanding what assets are in their environment to prioritizing vulnerabilities based on risks, operational impact and criticality, Armis’ cyber exposure management platform allows those defending our country to take action and make informed decisions when and where it matters most to ensure mission success.”
Building on its significant momentum, the DoD IL5 authorization propels Armis’ Federal business into the next stage of growth. Over the past year, the company launched Armis Federal, a dedicated division of Armis focused on providing solutions that address the unique challenges of U.S. government entities, and expanded its Federal Advisory Board. Armis is also in the final stages of achieving FedRAMP High authorization.
Earlier this month, Armis launched Armis Centrix for Application Security, a new offering designed to unify application security across the software development lifecycle. The solution helps security teams reduce cyber risk exposure and operate more efficiently by securing application code as an increasingly critical attack surface. By consolidating application security capabilities, Armis aims to strengthen organizational defenses while simplifying and rationalizing the broader security stack.
