Armis + Elisity Integration: Asset Intelligence Meets Identity-Based Microsegmentation

Your CMDB says you have 5,000 endpoints. Armis finds 15,000. The gap is IoT sensors, OT controllers, medical devices, building management systems, and contractor laptops that never went through onboarding. You can’t write a security policy for a device you don’t know exists, and you can’t assess risk on a device you can’t identify. That’s the visibility problem most security teams are solving with spreadsheets and hope.

Armis discovers and profiles every connected device on your network, including the ones your existing tools miss. It passes device type, manufacturer, model, OS, firmware version, and real-time risk scores directly into Elisity IdentityGraph™ through an API connection you can set up in minutes. Once that data lands in the IdentityGraph, your security team can see every device, grouped by identity and risk, not just by IP address or VLAN. The blind spots close because the data source covers what traditional tools don’t.

An infusion pump running a decade-old OS can’t accept an endpoint agent. Neither can a PLC on your manufacturing floor, a badge reader in your lobby, or a SCADA controller managing your building HVAC. These devices make up a growing share of your network, and not one of them will ever run security software. If your segmentation strategy depends on agents, it doesn’t cover the devices that need protection most.

Elisity enforces microsegmentation policies through your existing network switches. No agents on any device, ever. When Armis detects a risk score spike on a device (a new vulnerability, anomalous behavior, a firmware mismatch), Elisity can automatically tighten that device’s access policy or quarantine it entirely. The enforcement happens at the switch port level, so it works on every device Armis can see, including the ones that can’t run security software. Elisity sends enforcement status back to Armis, so your security team can verify segmentation coverage without leaving the Armis console.

If you’ve scoped a VLAN-based segmentation project, you already know the timeline: months of planning, new firewall rules, VLAN redesigns, change windows, and the constant risk of breaking production traffic. Most organizations that invest in Armis asset intelligence still wait months before that data translates into enforceable segmentation policy. Meanwhile, IEC 62443 zone and conduit requirements don’t wait for your deployment timeline.

Connect Armis to Elisity by entering your API credentials in the Elisity Cloud Control Center. The integration starts pulling device data immediately. From there, Armis device attributes (type, manufacturer, risk score, OS, firmware) feed directly into Elisity policy groups, so you’re building segmentation policies from verified device identity on day one, not from IP ranges on a spreadsheet. You deploy over your existing switching infrastructure. No new hardware, no VLAN redesign, no downtime. Organizations running both Armis and Elisity have gone from API setup to enforced microsegmentation policies in weeks, not the months or years that VLAN-based projects require.
