Armor review
A broad cloud security suite with free endpoint protection and paid managed services.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Armor combines cloud security posture management, workload protection, vulnerability scanning, intrusion prevention, file integrity monitoring, log management, and managed detection and response. It is aimed at regulated organizations and teams that want to begin with free endpoint protection, then add paid controls or managed security operations as requirements grow. Armor supports Windows and Linux through Armor Agent, while its posture management covers AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
The free Armor Agent tier provides malware protection, file integrity monitoring, intrusion prevention, and vulnerability scanning with patch monitoring at $0 per endpoint per month. The Premium Tier costs $99 per endpoint per month and adds broader coverage and support, more than 600 controls, automated mapping to top compliance standards, and cyber insurance coverage. MDR costs $4,380 per month for 500 endpoints and adds 24×7 SOC monitoring, threat hunting, compliance management, cloud-native SIEM, and automation. Enterprise Cloud is a quote-based managed private cloud offering with security controls and compliance mapping. This tier structure suits organizations that want a low-cost starting point, but the paid endpoint and MDR plans require a clear budget fit.
Armor’s ecosystem includes AWS CloudTrail, AWS VPC Flow Logs, AWS WAF, Amazon GuardDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Its Armor Nexus portal brings together incidents, posture information, and audit evidence across Armor Agent, Enterprise Cloud, and MDR. The product’s breadth is a strength for teams seeking one security program spanning cloud posture, workloads, compliance, and monitoring. Organizations needing only lightweight endpoint protection may find the broader service structure unnecessary, while teams with a 500-endpoint MDR requirement and a defined need for continuous monitoring have a clearer fit.
