Asset Risk Management (ARM)

Asset Risk Management for IT, OT, and IoT security | Sepio ARM platform

Sepio’s Asset Risk Management (ARM) platform proactively controls asset risks by automatically enforcing hardware usage policies through granular access controls defined by system administrators.

The platform sees, assesses, and mitigates risks posed by all assets, both known and shadow, at any scale, instantly and regardless of who adds them or where. By leveraging data from the physical layer, Sepio reveals the true source of each asset, offering a new dimension of visibility previously unattainable. In a single solution, the Sepio platform unifies the full asset security ecosystem, delivering agnostic, actionable insights and unlimited scalability, both of which are critical for effective cybersecurity risk management.

Holistic, Objective Truth

Sepio’s Asset Risk Management (ARM) platform surpasses industry standards, leveraging physical layer data to create an objective Asset DNA profile, enhancing IT, OT, and IoT asset security. Regardless of an asset’s functionality, Sepio delivers trusted visibility across Cyber-Physical Systems. Asset DNA enables the identification of all IT, OT, IoT, and peripheral assets, even those lacking unique identifiers and typically undetectable by conventional methods.

Our unique approach and patented algorithms mean Sepio is untainted by misleading profile perceptions and behavioral assumptions. That can deceive even the most robust cyber tools and result in erroneous risk management practices. With Sepio’s Asset Risk Management framework, your enterprise benefits from a centralized source of holistic and reliable asset visibility.

Asset Risk Management for IT/OT/IoT Security

Seeing is the critical prerequisite – but what you see is only as useful as what you can do with this knowledge. Sepio helps you instantly understand what needs attention by automatically generating an Asset Risk Factor (ARF) score for every asset. Based on Asset DNA, contextual business data, location, and policy rules, the Asset Risk Factor (ARF) prioritizes risk and provides a new layer of visibility to strengthen Asset Risk Management.

The Asset Risk Factor (ARF) alerts you to high, medium, or low risks, helping to expedite resolution time, identify compliance gaps, and prevent crises. Sepio’s Asset Risk Management platform accounts for any changes to an asset’s ARF by continuously monitoring the entire asset infrastructure to detect behavioral changes and anomalies.

Big data and machine learning, augmented by Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) data sources, provide up-to-date threat intelligence on asset vulnerabilities, further optimizing Asset Risk Management and IT efficiency. This real-time, actionable visibility enables your security team to better understand the asset attack surface and manage risks proactively.

Real-Time Asset Monitoring and Risk Mitigation

Sepio’s Asset Risk Management framework, enables organizations to control asset risk. By automatically enforcing specific hardware usage through granular controls, predefined by the system administrator. Customers can establish multiple differentiated policies based on several parameters, including asset hardware and software characteristics. Such as device type or vendor, or custom tags. With flexible, fine-grained control, organizations can manage their asset risks according to their specific business needs and regulatory requirements.

Additionally, Sepio’s platform compares Asset DNA and ARF with your preset rules and directly connects it to an enforced policy. Any changes to an asset are accounted for and the appropriate policy applied. Assets that breach the preset policies or get recognized as known attack tools by Sepio’s internal database are immediately blocked through third party tools. Enabling instant and automated risk mitigation.

Scalable, Low-Cost Asset Risk Management

You can’t protect assets without scale. Sepio’s unique trafficless approach enables painless asset risk management across the entire ecosystem. By eliminating network dependencies on exponentially growing traffic, privacy concerns, and the onus of analyzing with no IT nightmares, encrypted/protocol specific traffic.

With no IT nightmares, no privacy infringements, and no compliance issues. Sepio Asset Risk Management platform is easy to deploy and run. It’s a product, not a project. Deployment time frames are measured in person hours not person years. Enabling a fast time to return on investment (ROI) in even the largest deployments. Sepio Asset Risk Management platform does not require specialized staff or additional hardware, resulting in a low total cost of ownership.

Optimize your Cybersecurity with Sepio

Sepio Asset Risk Management platform offers unparalleled visibility of an organization’s asset ecosystem. Enabling the IT department to reduce hardware clutter and, thus, optimize budget spending.

Sepio Asset Risk Management platform integrates seamlessly with multiple cybersecurity solutions, such as CMDBs, NACs, EDRs, XDRs, Zero Trust solutions. Without Sepio, these solutions can’t complete their mission. By radically augmenting the power of existing tools, Sepio gets you more value from your IT and security investments.

Sepio’s Asset Risk Management Platform

Asset Risk Management (ARM) necessitates comprehensive awareness of all assets. As risk mitigation is impossible without visibility. In the ever-expanding and unregulated ecosystem, enterprises face difficulties in monitoring their assets. Regardless of their location, installer, or usage, whether known or unknown, Sepio ensures complete visibility of assets.

Sepio utilizes the physical layer to offer a novel level of asset visibility, accompanied by an integrated Asset Risk Factor score. By harnessing the capabilities of the entire asset security ecosystem, we deliver actionable visibility and limitless scalability. Which are crucial for effective asset risk management.

Apart from offering extensive insight into the deep physical layer visibility, a robust policy enforcement system suggests optimal policy practices and grants administrators the ability to establish either stringent or highly detailed rules for the system to uphold. These capabilities facilitate the adoption of a zero trust hardware access (ZTHA) approach. Should a device violate the predefined policies, Sepio promptly initiates a mitigation procedure, instantly preventing unauthorized or rogue hardware access control.

We provide tangible benefits to any IT department. See every known and shadow asset. Prioritize and mitigate risks.
