Illumio, Inc. has announced an enhanced partnership with Armis, focusing on fortifying converged information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments. This collaboration aims to provide businesses with greater insights into risks and to coordinate strategies in the market for improving security posture.
The partnership leverages the capabilities of the Illumio Platform, which includes Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation, along with Armis Centrix™, the cyber exposure management platform by Armis. This integration aids in the early detection of threats, automatic breach containment, and the bolstering of resilience in the most susceptible systems.
Unified Approach for Improved Security
"Securing the entire attack surface starts with knowing what's connected and where risk lies," stated Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. "This partnership unifies visibility, asset intelligence, and enforcement. Together, we empower organizations to act decisively, stopping threats before there's any impact and keeping critical operations resilient."
By combining Illumio's breach containment with Armis’ continuous cyber exposure management, a cohesive Zero Trust security strategy is established for IT and OT solutions. This expanded relationship integrates Illumio Insights, moving beyond mere segmentation to foster a capability that simplifies operations while ensuring proactive containment.
Integration Features
- Comprehensive Asset Visibility: Armis identifies and categorizes all IT, OT, and IoT devices, including unmanaged and outdated assets, sharing this data with the Illumio Platform to improve visibility and mapping.
- Risk Prioritization: Armis intelligence enhances Illumio Insights, highlighting opportunities for high-impact segmentation.
- Dynamic Containment: Illumio applies microsegmentation when anomalies are detected by Armis, curbing lateral threat movement.
- SOC Integration: Joint telemetry feeds into SOC workflows, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) for expedited threat investigations.
Strengthening Compliance and Safety
