In this fascinating discussion with CTO and co-founder of Armis, Nadir Izrael, we explored how modern technology is revolutionizing threat prediction in cybersecurity. Izrael explained how Armis' Actionable Threat Intelligence (ATI) platform leverages AI-powered smart honeypots and real-time monitoring of over 5 billion assets to detect emerging cyber threats before they become widely known. This innovative approach has enabled them to provide early warnings for major vulnerabilities - in some cases predicting threats up to 55 days before they appear on standard security advisories.
The conversation highlighted how ATI differs from traditional threat intelligence platforms by focusing on validated, actionable threats rather than generating overwhelming amounts of data. By combining asset visibility with threat intelligence, the system helps security teams prioritize vulnerabilities that pose real risks to their specific environment while filtering out approximately 98% of vulnerabilities that aren't actively being exploited. This targeted approach marks a significant shift from reactive to proactive cybersecurity, giving organizations precious time to strengthen their defenses before attacks occur.
