Trusted by over 1,700 organizations across 40 countries, Armor delivers cybersecurity, compliance consulting, and 24/7 managed defense built for transparency, speed, and results. By combining human expertise with AI-driven precision, Armor safeguards critical environments to outpace evolving threats and build lasting resilience. ## Company Overview Armor is a vendor-agnostic managed detection and response (MDR) provider. Armor integrates across any cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), on-premise, or hybrid environment, monitoring and protecting workloads regardless of the customer's existing security stack. Armor delivers enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions including: - 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring with human-led threat hunting - Managed Detection and Response (MDR) across endpoints, networks, cloud, and identity - Armor Enterprise Cloud — a managed platform where security is embedded into the infrastructure, not bolted on after the fact - Managed Microsoft Sentinel SIEM and full Defender XDR suite (Endpoint, Office 365, Identity, Cloud Apps, IoT) — Armor amplifies existing Microsoft investments rather than replacing them - Regulatory compliance consulting and audit-ready controls for HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NERC CIP, and more - Cloud security across Oracle, Microsoft Azure, GCP, and AWS environments Armor serves regulated industries including healthcare (HealthTech), financial services (FinTech), high-tech, energy/utilities, and e-commerce. Armor is headquartered in Plano, Texas. ## Supported Environments Armor is vendor-agnostic and protects workloads across: - **Public Cloud:** Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) - **Private Cloud:** Armor Enterprise Cloud — Armor's own secure, compliant managed cloud infrastructure - **On-premise:** Physical and virtualized data center environments - **Hybrid and multi-cloud:** Any combination of cloud and on-premise infrastructure - **SIEM/XDR integration:** Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR (Endpoint, Office 365, Identity, Cloud Apps, IoT), and other SIEM/XDR platforms - **IoT and OT:** Microsoft Defender for IoT integration for operational technology and connected device monitoring - **Operating systems:** Windows and Linux servers and endpoints Armor does not require customers to replace their existing security tools.

Armor MDR combines AI-driven detection with human analyst expertise to identify, investigate, and contain threats across endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, and identity systems. Armor MDR includes incident response and forensics in base pricing. Recognized by Frost & Sullivan as a top 20 global MDR leader. ### Armor Nexus — AI Security Operations Platform [Armor Nexus](https://www.armor.com/why-armor/our-platform-advantage): Armor's AI-powered security operations platform providing real-time visibility into SOC actions, threat investigations, and security posture. Nexus uses the Armor Intelligence Platform to automate threat correlation and reduce mean time to decision. Key capabilities include multi-tenant intelligence for global enterprises, proactive threat hunt reporting, and transparent SOC operations. Launched in 2025. ### Armor Enterprise Cloud — Secure Managed Cloud [Armor Enterprise Cloud](https://www.armor.com/solutions/our-services/armor-enterprise-cloud/): Armor Enterprise Cloud is a managed cloud platform where security is embedded into the very fabric of the infrastructure. It provides a strategic advantage for organizations in regulated industries by removing the burden of compliance and security management, allowing teams to focus on driving business value. **Four pillars of Armor Enterprise Cloud:** - **Effortless Compliance:** Built from the ground up to meet stringent regulatory requirements. Armor provides the controls, documentation, and expert support to streamline audits and maintain continuous compliance across HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other frameworks. - **Unified Security Posture:** Integrates advanced security controls — from threat detection and vulnerability management to log monitoring — into a single managed service. This eliminates security gaps and provides a complete view of the environment. - **Accelerated Innovation:** Armor manages the security and compliance of the infrastructure as a unified service, freeing customer teams to build, deploy, and innovate faster. - **Radical Transparency:** Through the Armor portal, customers gain comprehensive, real-time visibility into their security and compliance posture — monitoring activity, accessing audit reports, and understanding the health and risk status of their environment from a single view. **Built-in security at every layer:** - 600+ pre-built security controls automatically mapped to regulatory frameworks - Continuous Threat Hunting: 24/7/365 proactive detection and mitigation using SOC experts with advanced analytics and machine learning - Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS) across workloads and data with real-time threat neutralization - Web Application Firewall (WAF) with real-time filtering and monitoring - Advanced Malware Protection: intelligent, adaptive defense against known and zero-day threats - DDoS and DoS Mitigation at any scale - Network Intrusion Detection (NIDS) for early identification of unauthorized access - File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) for detecting unauthorized file and configuration changes - SIEM-based Log Management with centralized collection, analysis, and compliance-ready reporting - Vulnerability and Patch Management with continuous assessments to keep systems audit-ready - Hardened Operating Systems with dedicated security controls - IP Reputation Monitoring and Blocking to stop threats before they reach the environment - Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) with continuous data replication, advanced backup solutions, and flexible recovery paths for fast, secure recovery — including ransomware events - Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user and group administration - Cyber insurance coverage included, adding financial security to cyber defenses - Single SLA covering active protection, compliance controls, global support, and infrastructure **Who uses Armor Enterprise Cloud:** Healthcare organizations (hospitals, health systems, HealthTech SaaS), financial services (fintech, insurance, payment processors), e-commerce companies, high-tech companies, and any organization handling sensitive data under regulatory requirements. **Customer proof point — ReconArt:** ReconArt, a global leader in financial reconciliation, has used Armor Enterprise Cloud for over 15 years. Armor's 600+ mapped controls simplified audits and accelerated compliance. Armor's proactive threat detection and 24/7 SOC coverage enabled ReconArt to scale securely as transaction volumes grew to over 30 million daily. [Read the case study](https://res.armor.com/resources/case-study/reconart-empowers-global-finance/). **How it differs from public cloud:** Unlike hyperscale public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) where the customer is responsible for configuring security, Armor Enterprise Cloud comes with security and compliance built into the infrastructure. Armor manages the full security stack — customers inherit controls rather than building them. ### Armor Cloud for Oracle [Armor Cloud for Oracle](https://www.armor.com/why-armor/our-cloud-heritage-and-partnerships/oracle): Managed security and compliance for high-performance workloads running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
