Armis, a cyber exposure management and security company, and Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader, have expanded their partnership to enhance cyber resilience and simplify security programs for organizations worldwide.
This collaboration aims to provide a unified security ecosystem by combining Armis’s asset visibility and risk context with Fortinet’s capabilities for recommending security measures and enforcing policies. The partnership is designed to help security teams make architectural improvements, automate security programs, and protect the modern, expanded attack surface, fostering a more proactive security posture.
Nadir Izrael, Co-Founder and CTO of Armis, commented on the partnership’s focus on integration. “Customers are tired of managing fragmented security tools that don’t talk to each other; they want best-in-class solutions that work together to solve complex, real-world problems head-on,” Izrael stated. He emphasized that the collaboration aims to simplify security programs and provide teams with confidence through an integrated defense, enabling organizations to preempt threats rather than react to them.
John Whittle, Chief Operating Officer of Fortinet, highlighted the company’s customer-centric approach. “Fortinet has a customer-first culture built on openness, teamwork, and innovation, and partnering with a leader like Armis to stop sophisticated attacks illustrates how we’re listening to our customers,” Whittle said. He also noted Fortinet’s robust threat intelligence and advanced AI, backed by its extensive AI patent portfolio, adding that the expanded partnership will provide customers with unified visibility and integrated defense across their growing digital attack surfaces.
Together, Armis Centrix and FortiOS, the foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric, offer a unified security ecosystem that delivers visibility, real-time risk context, enrichment, and automated enforcement across the modern attack surface. With more than eight joint integrations, the combined solutions are engineered to eliminate blind spots, accelerate threat detection and containment, and enforce intelligent policies at scale.
The partnership addresses the challenge of identifying assets and enforcing appropriate policies concurrently. It achieves this by implementing integrations leveraging Armis’s Asset Intelligence Engine, which monitors over 6.5 billion device assets. This data informs the recommendation and application of policies and features from Fortinet products such as FortiGate, FortiNAC, and FortiManager. Additionally, it enriches Fortinet SecOps products, including FortiSOAR, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR, and FortiAnalyzer.
Both Armis and Fortinet share a mission to streamline security programs, providing organizations with a comprehensive, intelligent, and proactive defense against complex cyber threats across their entire digital environment.
