Get to Know the Team
TRULY TALENTED CLOUD SECURITY
Armor Security Operations (SecOps) is staffed with experts in each of these areas:
Security Operations Center (SOC)
- Indications and Warnings (I&W): 24/7/365, this team is always monitoring your security posture, looking for anomalies and suspicious activity. In the event of potential compromise, they quickly escalate security events for deeper assessment and response.
- Incident Response & Forensics (IRF): When suspicious activity is detected, our IRF team dives into forensics analysis to determine if the incident is a true positive. If a compromised host is detected, they work with the customer to contain, eradicate and recover from the threat, usually in less than 24 hours. After the threat is remediated, they coordinate with customers to address the root cause of the compromise and prevent future attacks through the same vector.
- Vulnerability Threat Management (VTM): Threat actors are always looking for an easy way in to your environment. This is why vulnerability and patch management are essential for lowering your environment’s surface area of attack. Our aggressive vulnerability assessment program keeps our customers’ infrastructure hardened against attack.
- Threat Resistance Unit (TRU): Our TRU team provides actionable cyber threat intelligence that allows us to anticipate, and block a large majority of the cyber-attacks against our customers, allowing us to provide unparalleled protection in the cloud. We collect and analyze data from 150 plus threat intelligence feeds to create a detailed overview of current and emerging threats. This keeps us a step ahead of threat actors, able to block their attacks before they even have a plan of attack.
- Friendly Network Forces (FNF): We combined former National Security Agency online operators with our most experienced Armor engineer, to create an internal threat hunting team. These talented threat hunters look for gaps or seams in the security surveillance of our customer networks. In other words, we have the best hackers in the world, trying to break into our environment to make sure no one else can.

How Does Armor Help
Here are a few ways we help
CONTINUOUS THREAT HUNTING
Proactive, not Reactive. Unlike traditional security service providers, Armor Security Operations Center experts get in on the hunt. We perform continuous threat hunting to ferret out potential threats that might have gotten past our strong preventative and detective controls.
CONTINUOUS RESPONSE AND FORENSICS
We perform continuous response – going above and beyond what traditional managed security providers do – to respond and eliminate threats aggressively, resulting in an average dwell time of less than 1 day compared to an industry average of 100+ days. Security is our business and we mean business.
SELF-LEARNING
We constantly enhance the protections our customers count on. Insights and intelligence gleaned from monitoring customer environments are continually adapted into countermeasures, further automation, orchestration and playbooks, enhancing the effectiveness of our Security Operations Center teams and our Spartan platform.
DWELL TIME
We consider it one of the most critical measures for assessing the success of any security program. Surprisingly, most security service providers steer well clear of talking about dwell time with their customers. We live by it. You should too.
