Armis Inc. - Experts & Thought Leaders

Illumio, Inc., the breach containment company, announces an expanded partnership with Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, to protect converged information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments with deeper insights into risk and coordinated market strategies. The joint offering combines the Illumio Platform—featuring Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation—with Armis Centrix™, Armis’ Cyber Exposure Management Platform. Together, they enable businesses to detect threats earlier, automatically contain breaches, and embed resilience into their most vulnerable systems. Most vulnerable systems “Securing the entire attack surface starts with knowing what’s connected and where risk lives,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder, Armis. “This partnership unifies visibility, asset intelligence, and enforcement. Together, we empower organisations to act decisively, stopping threats before there’s any impact and keeping critical operations resilient.” Illumio breach containment, combined with Armis’ continuous cyber exposure management and security capabilities, creates a unified Zero Trust security approach for converged IT and OT environments. With the addition of Illumio Insights, the relationship between Armis and Illumio extends beyond segmentation, evolving into a native capability that simplifies operations and enables proactive containment. High-impact segmentation Integration Highlights: Comprehensive Asset Visibility: Armis discovers and classifies all IT, OT, and IoT devices—including unmanaged and legacy assets—and shares this classification with the Illumio Platform to enhance visibility and mapping. Risk Prioritisation: Armis intelligence feeds Illumio Insights to surface high-impact segmentation opportunities. Dynamic Containment: Illumio enforces microsegmentation when Armis detects anomalies, preventing lateral movement. SOC Integration: Joint telemetry integrates with SOC workflows, SIEM, and SOAR for faster investigations. Continuous asset intelligence This collaboration enables Zero Trust across IT, OT, and IoT environments, reduces the impact of breaches through rapid containment, and supports compliance with standards including NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST 800-82. “When these types of environments are compromised, it’s not just downtime—it’s safety, infrastructure, and trust at stake,” said Todd Palmer, SVP of Global Partner Sales and Alliances, Illumio. “By pairing Illumio breach containment with Armis’ continuous asset intelligence, we empower teams with insight and control to act fast and keep essential systems online.” Protecting critical infrastructure Illumio is expanding its collaboration with Armis beyond technology, aligning go-to-market strategies to make it easier for organisations to access and deploy advanced Zero Trust Security solutions. Joint sales and marketing efforts ensure that customers benefit from seamless integration, expert guidance, and a unified approach to protecting critical infrastructure.

It provides real-time visibility, rapid threat detection, and proactive lateral movement control across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The XDR Alliance™ announced the release of a new set of open-source API specifications that help pioneering cybersecurity vendors collaborate and more easily integrate their advanced technology solutions. As a result, end-user customer organisations worldwide can rationalise their disparate and previously siloed cybersecurity solutions, enabling them to more easily operationalise broader coverage for threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) use cases. Customers can extract more value from their existing technology tools and avoid proprietary approaches from portfolio vendors.  On average, organisations have more than 31 security tools deployed. In order for security teams to work efficiently, it’s critical that these tools integrate seamlessly within organisational workflows. Open-source APIs facilitate communication between the solutions required for the most extensive and dependable security coverage.

Robust security coverage requires integration and collaboration among the best of the best cyber solutions, easily working together without obstacles,” said Gorka Sadowski, Founder, XDR Alliance and Chief Strategy Officer, Exabeam. He adds, “We hear customers loud and clear. They want to minimise vendors yet avoid vendor lock-in, and want best-of-breed without paying an integration tax. We have solved this conundrum and it’s at the core of our API announcement today.”  XDR Alliance’s open-source CIM The new open-source API specifications are a follow-up to the XDR Alliance’s open-source Common Information Model (CIM), which provides the broader cybersecurity community with a common foundation for understanding, normalising, getting deeper visibility into, and enriching data across technologies.  The APIs have been developed in collaboration with member organisations earning domain expertise across endpoint, network, cloud, identity, email security, security analytics, security log management, SIEM, and more to provide the most in-depth security coverage for organisations.  XDR Alliance member quotes Armis  Collaborating more effectively to support end-user integration is essential to furthering" “It's critical that enterprises and governments globally prioritise cybersecurity, implementing robust and resilient programs that address the new extended attack surface that managed and unmanaged connected assets create,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder, Armis.

The latest from the XDR Alliance is a key step to achieving this cohesion throughout the SOC, helping enterprises uncover cyberattacks before it's too late.”  Mimecast  Mimecast is committed to the open XDR approach to create a more cybersafe email experience" “Because email is a favourite delivery vector for adversaries, any cybersecurity strategy needs to include email security use cases in scope. Mimecast is committed to the open XDR approach to create a more cybersafe email experience for everyone,” said Jules Martin, Vice President Technology Alliances, Mimecast. He adds, “We are excited to have contributed to these API specifications available as open source, and look forward to seeing the benefits.”  Netskope  “The modern workforce's use of the cloud demands protection wherever users, apps, and data are located. Netskope is proud to have added its unique insights into cloud security to the XDR Alliance definitions of open-source API specifications for the benefit of our customers and the broader user community,” says Andy Horwitz, Vice President, Business Development and Technology Alliances at Netskope.
