Armis & Fortinet expand partnership to boost cyber resilience
Armis and Fortinet have announced an expanded partnership aimed at simplifying security programmes and enhancing cyber resilience for organisations worldwide.
The two companies have stated that the expanded alliance will combine Armis Centrix with the Fortinet Security Fabric through more than eight integrations, providing security teams with improved asset visibility, management, and enforcement capabilities. This joint approach is intended to help organisations eliminate blind spots, automate enforcement actions, and strengthen defences against contemporary cyber threats.
Asset visibility and risk insight
Armis offers contextual information regarding devices connected to an organisation's network and the factors placing them at risk. This information is aimed at strengthening Fortinet's ability to provide recommendations for securing at-risk assets and implementing policies accordingly.
Through the combined efforts of Armis Centrix and FortiOS, the core of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the companies aim to deliver a cohesive security ecosystem offering real-time risk context, increased enrichment, and automated enforcement. According to the statement, the integration is designed to detect and contain threats more efficiently and enforce policies at scale.
Industry perspectives 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," said Nadir Izrael, Co-Founder and CTO of Armis. "Our partnership with Fortinet is about fundamentally simplifying security programs and providing security teams the confidence that comes from a truly integrated defense. It's a game-changer for organisations to effectively preempt threats instead of constantly reacting to them.
John Whittle, Chief Operating Officer of Fortinet, commented on the collaborative effort with Armis: "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. We deliver the industry's most robust threat intelligence and advanced AI for security, backed by Fortinet's AI patent portfolio-the largest in cybersecurity. Expanding our partnership with Armis will give customers unified visibility and integrated defense across their growing digital attack surfaces."
Enabling automation and proactive security
The companies state that customers can address issues such as asset identification and policy enforcement by leveraging the integration. Armis' Asset Intelligence Engine tracks over 6.5 billion device assets, now enhanced with recommendations and the application of policies via Fortinet products like FortiGate, FortiNAC, FortiManager, and the enrichment of Fortinet SecOps products including FortiSOAR, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR, and FortiAnalyser.
This joint initiative focuses on offering a unified solution for organisations facing increasingly complex cyber threats by enabling proactive defence strategies rather than solely response-based postures. The companies' approach seeks to provide a complete security view across the entire digital environment.
Responding to modern challenges
Security teams continue to face growing challenges as attack surfaces expand and the number of connected devices increases rapidly. The need for solutions capable of offering comprehensive visibility, real-time risk assessment, and rapid policy enforcement remains a key concern across the industry.
With this partnership, Armis and Fortinet are responding to these challenges by providing integrated tools aimed at improving efficiency, reducing management overhead, and supporting the implementation of security policies at scale for large and distributed enterprises.
The companies have highlighted that the collaboration represents a step towards enabling organisations to strengthen their cyber security posture with confidence through automation and integration, aligned with their shared commitment to empowering organisations to address threats across an expanded attack surface.
