High-Fidelity IoT and OT Asset Intelligence AVIZ and Armis

Deep Network Observability
The problem: Asset visibility is only as good as the network telemetry
Organizations today rely on cyber exposure management platforms to continuously discover and monitor assets across IT, OT, IoT, and medical environments. Platforms like Armis Centrix™ help security teams identify unmanaged devices, understand risk exposure, and maintain visibility across increasingly complex infrastructures.
However, the accuracy of asset intelligence and exposure management ultimately depends on one critical factor:
The quality of the network telemetry used for discovery and analysis.
Armis identifies assets through passive traffic inspection, analyzing network traffic captured through SPAN, TAP, packet brokers, or PCAP feeds. In modern hybrid environments spanning data centers, campuses, OT sites, and cloud infrastructure delivering the right network traffic to these analytics engines has become increasingly challenging.
Without intelligent traffic aggregation and optimization, organizations often struggle with fragmented visibility, excessive telemetry noise, and incomplete asset discovery.
The AVIZ and Armis approach
The Aviz Networks and Armis joint solution addresses this challenge by introducing an intelligent network observability layer between traffic sources and the Armis platform.
Instead of sending raw packet streams directly to Armis collectors, the architecture ensures that network traffic is captured, optimized, and enriched before analysis.
Using Aviz Deep Network Observability (DNO), organizations can aggregate traffic from distributed environments and deliver clean, high-fidelity telemetry to Armis. This includes traffic filtering, deduplication, and normalization of overlay or tunneled traffic commonly found in modern enterprise networks.
By improving the quality and consistency of network telemetry, Aviz enables Armis Centrix to perform more accurate device discovery and risk analysis across the enterprise.
Armis then uses this optimized traffic to continuously identify connected assets, assess vulnerabilities, and provide exposure insights that help security teams prioritize risk and enforce security policies.
Why this matters for security and compliance leaders
For CISOs and security leaders, understanding what devices exist on the network and the risk they introduce is fundamental to managing cyber exposure.
Yet many organizations struggle with incomplete asset visibility, especially across OT environments and unmanaged devices.
By strengthening the telemetry pipeline feeding Armis, the AVIZ and Armis solution enables organizations to improve both asset intelligence and operational security outcomes.
Key benefits include:
- Improved asset discovery accuracy across IT, OT, and IoT environments
- Reduced operational overhead through intelligent traffic aggregation and filtering
- Continuous exposure visibility across distributed enterprise networks
- Stronger compliance readiness with reliable network-derived insights
The bottom line
Effective cyber exposure management begins with accurate and continuous asset intelligence.
The joint solution from Aviz Networks and Armis ensures that asset intelligence platforms receive high-fidelity network telemetry enabling organizations to discover more devices, understand risk exposure more clearly, and strengthen their overall security posture.
Because when it comes to managing cyber exposure, better network visibility leads to better security decisions.

1. Why is asset visibility a challenge in modern enterprise environments?
Organizations operate across IT, OT, IoT, medical, campus, data center, and cloud environments. This fragmentation makes it difficult to continuously discover and monitor all connected assets accurately.
2. How do cyber exposure management platforms discover assets?
Platforms such as Armis use passive network traffic inspection to identify assets, including unmanaged and agentless devices, without deploying agents or disrupting operations.
3. Why does asset visibility depend on network telemetry quality?
Asset discovery accuracy is directly tied to the quality of network traffic analyzed. Incomplete, noisy, or fragmented telemetry results in missed devices, incorrect classification, and unreliable risk insights.
4. What types of network data does Armis analyze?
Armis analyzes traffic collected through SPAN ports, network TAPs, packet brokers, and PCAP feeds across on-premises, OT, and cloud-connected environments.
5. What problems occur when raw network traffic is sent directly to analytics tools?
Sending raw traffic often leads to excessive noise, duplicate packets, fragmented visibility, and incomplete asset discovery, reducing the effectiveness of exposure management platforms.
6. What role does Aviz Networks play in improving asset visibility?
Aviz Networks provides Deep Network Observability (DNO), acting as an intelligent layer that aggregates, filters, deduplicates, and enriches network telemetry before analysis.
7. How does Aviz Deep Network Observability improve Armis accuracy?
Aviz DNO delivers clean, high-fidelity telemetry by removing redundant traffic, normalizing overlay traffic, and enriching packets with context allowing Armis to identify assets more accurately.
8. How does the Aviz and Armis joint solution work?
Aviz captures traffic from distributed environments, optimizes and enriches it, and delivers only relevant telemetry to Armis, enabling more reliable device discovery and exposure analysis.
9. What benefits do security and compliance leaders gain from the Aviz–Armis joint solution?
Security teams gain improved asset discovery across IT, OT, and IoT, reduced operational overhead, continuous exposure visibility, and stronger compliance readiness with reliable network-derived insights.
10. What is the key takeaway of the Aviz–Armis approach to cyber exposure management?
Effective exposure management starts with accurate asset intelligence. High-quality, optimized network telemetry is essential to discovering more devices, understanding risk clearly, and making better security decisions.
