ARMOR
The AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience
ARMOR is your trusted guide for secure, compliant and future-ready AI initiatives.
Why AI Security demands a new approach
AI's rise has exposed new vulnerabilities, and the stakes have never been higher. CISOs and technology leaders are racing to harness AI's potential while confronting a surge in data exposure, adversarial threats and regulatory complexity. Security and innovation must be integrated from the start.
Regulatory compliance is just the baseline. Leading organizations proactively build trust and resilience into every layer of their AI initiatives. To unlock AI's full potential, enterprises need flexible, actionable frameworks that address modern threats and business goals.
What is ARMOR?
Your blueprint for AI security and resilience
The AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience (ARMOR) is a vendor-agnostic solution delivered by WWT, leveraging a jointly developed framework with NVIDIA, designed to secure AI deployments at every stage, from planning to ongoing operations.
Built on practical experience and expert insights, ARMOR is continuously refined as new partners and technologies join the ecosystem.
Whether you're a local business or a global enterprise, its flexible, scalable structure makes it adaptable for organizations of any size or sector.
ARMOR Domains
Full spectrum risk coverage
ARMOR is divided into modular domains to ensure comprehensive coverage of the full AI lifecycle. Each domain targets a distinct security challenge, enabling organizations to align with real-world threats, regulatory requirements and operational maturity for scalable, resilient AI deployment.
