Armis and Fortinet have announced an expanded strategic partnership aimed at helping organisations simplify their security operations and strengthen their defences against increasingly complex cyber threats. The collaboration combines Armis Centrix with the Fortinet Security Fabric through more than eight integrations, enhancing asset visibility, automating policy enforcement, and improving cyber resilience for businesses worldwide.
Armis provides detailed context about network-connected assets and the reasons they may be vulnerable, enabling Fortinet to better recommend how to secure those assets and apply security policies effectively. Together, the companies deliver visibility, management, and enforcement capabilities that help security teams modernise their infrastructure, automate security programmes, and protect the growing digital attack surface. The joint solutions aim to give organisations a more proactive security posture, shifting the focus from reacting to threats to preventing them.
“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 programmes and providing security teams the confidence that comes from a truly integrated defence. It’s a game-changer for organisations to effectively preempt threats instead of constantly reacting to them.”
Unified visibility and proactive protection
John Whittle, chief operating officer of Fortinet, emphasised the company’s focus on collaboration and innovation to meet evolving customer needs. “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,” he said. “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 defence across their growing digital attack surfaces.”
The integration of Armis Centrix with FortiOS — the core of the Fortinet Security Fabric — creates a unified security ecosystem designed to deliver unmatched visibility, real-time risk insights, enriched threat intelligence, and automated enforcement across modern attack surfaces. The combined solutions enable organisations to eliminate blind spots, detect and contain threats more quickly, and apply intelligent security policies at scale.
This comprehensive approach addresses challenges that many organisations face when trying to identify assets and enforce appropriate policies separately. The partnership brings these processes together by combining Armis’ Asset Intelligence Engine — which monitors more than 6.5 billion device assets — with Fortinet’s suite of products, including FortiGate, FortiNAC, and FortiManager. It also enhances Fortinet’s security operations tools such as FortiSOAR, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR, and FortiAnalyzer.
Building cyber resilience for the future
The collaboration reflects a shared mission to streamline security operations and empower organisations to face today’s evolving cyber threat landscape with confidence. As the attack surface continues to expand due to digital transformation, hybrid work, and the growth of connected devices, businesses require more integrated and automated defences to stay ahead of potential risks.
By combining Armis’ contextual asset intelligence with Fortinet’s AI-powered security capabilities, the partnership aims to deliver a complete, intelligent, and proactive defence system that secures entire digital environments. The companies believe this unified approach will help organisations move beyond fragmented security tools and siloed processes, enabling them to respond faster and more effectively to emerging threats.
