Case Study: Leading Australia Public University boosts device visibility and asset security with Armis

Leading Australian University Expands Device Awareness and Increases Asset Security

Leading Australia Public University, a large public university with a 300,000-asset IT/OT/MT environment, needed better visibility into its sprawling and highly specialized device landscape. Its small cybersecurity team struggled to identify unknown devices, assess vulnerabilities, and communicate cyber risk across departments, so it evaluated tools and launched a proof of value with Armis after architecture constraints ruled out other options.

Armis provided agentless asset intelligence and passive network visibility, quickly uncovering far more devices than expected—up to 300,000 assets within two weeks, versus an initial estimate of 80,000. With Armis, the university identified unknown and unmanaged devices, detected active ransomware, improved remediation and cross-department collaboration, and gained a clearer view of risk through reporting and dashboards.
