Illumio has expanded its strategic partnership with Armis to deliver integrated security for converged IT and OT environments. The joint offering combines Armis Centrix™ asset discovery and exposure management with Illumio's breach containment and segmentation platform—including Illumio Insights—to provide comprehensive visibility, risk prioritization, and dynamic containment across industrial and enterprise networks. The collaboration targets critical infrastructure sectors where breaches impact not just operations but safety and public trust.
Illumio expands strategic partnership with Armis for converged IT/OT security.
Armis discovers and classifies all IT, OT, and IoT assets, including unmanaged devices.
Illumio enforces microsegmentation dynamically when Armis detects anomalies.
Illumio Insights surfaces high-impact segmentation opportunities based on Armis risk intelligence.
Joint telemetry integrates with SOC workflows, SIEM, and SOAR.
Supports compliance with NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST 800-82.
IT and OT environments are no longer air-gapped. As operational technology connects to enterprise networks and the internet, the attack surface expands—and so does the potential for cascading failure. Traditional security approaches that treat these domains separately leave visibility gaps and create delays in response. This partnership unifies Armis's continuous asset intelligence with Illumio's real-time enforcement, creating a closed loop between discovery, risk assessment, and containment.
The integration extends beyond simple information sharing. When Armis Centrix detects anomalous behavior on any asset—managed or unmanaged, IT or OT—it triggers dynamic containment policies in the Illumio Platform. This enables organizations to automatically isolate compromised devices, preventing lateral movement to critical systems before human analysts can intervene. The result is containment at machine speed, essential for environments where seconds determine safety outcomes.
Illumio Insights consumes Armis's asset classification and risk intelligence to identify the highest-impact segmentation opportunities. Rather than applying blanket policies, organizations can prioritize containment strategies based on actual exposure and criticality. This intelligence-led approach makes Zero Trust segmentation practical for large-scale, heterogeneous environments where manual policy definition is impossible.
The expanded partnership includes aligned go-to-market strategies, making integrated Zero Trust solutions more accessible to organizations operating power grids, manufacturing lines, and other essential systems. With compliance mandates including NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST 800-82 driving investment, the joint offering provides a clear path from visibility to validated control.
"When these types of environments are compromised, it's not just downtime—it's safety, infrastructure, and trust at stake," said Todd Palmer of Illumio. By pairing Armis's continuous discovery with Illumio's breach containment, the partnership delivers the visibility and control necessary to keep critical systems online and resilient.
