The Forrester Wave™: IoT Security Solutions, Q3 2025 blog thumb

We’re thrilled to share another significant recognition for the Armis Centrix™ Cyber Exposure Management Platform: Armis has once again been recognized as a Leader by Forrester, this time in The Forrester Wave™: IoT Security Solutions, Q3 2025.

This achievement comes on the heels of being named a Leader in the The Forrester Wave™: Unified Vulnerability Management Solutions, Q3 2025, underscoring, in our opinion, not just the strength of our platform, but also the breadth of our offering. With best-in-class UVM and IoT security capabilities unified in one platform, Armis delivers unmatched visibility, control, and protection across the entire attack surface.

In a landscape full of IoT security vendors, we believe Armis stands apart, recognized for our innovation, versatility, and truly comprehensive platform approach to cyber exposure management.

For us, our position on the Forrester Wave reflects Armis’ bold vision and proven ability to execute in the field of IoT security. According to the report, “Armis’ vision centers on delivering enterprise-wide exposure management that goes beyond IoT and OT devices. Its innovation investments and acquisitions support this goal. Its roadmap aligns with customer priorities while anticipating future needs to ensure the platform evolves alongside its clients. This forward-looking strategy fosters successful adoption and helps customers deploy the Centrix platform successfully.” This statement by Forrester accurately states what we know to be true at Armis, IoT devices cannot be protected in isolation. Effective IoT security requires a complete understanding of the connected environment. This is what Armis Centrix™ for OT/IoT Security provides our customers to enable end-to-end Exposure Management from early warning threat detection to successful resolution.

At Armis, We Don’t View IoT in Isolation

While IoT devices are deeply integrated into broader operational and IT ecosystems, they often require tailored strategies for identification, monitoring, and protection. Techniques like smart active querying are essential to surface dormant or hidden IoT assets. We do not view IoT assets in isolation, every device is part of a larger chain of trust and risk across the enterprise. Compromises in IoT can ripple outward, affecting IT networks, cloud, and physical operations, which is why securing them must be a part of the bigger security story rather than a standalone initiative. Our approach ensures IoT security not only complements but actively strengthens your overall cybersecurity posture. Given that IoT is among the most frequently targeted and compromised asset types within OT environments, securing it isn’t optional.

Why Forrester Has Once Again Recognized Armis as a Leader

The Forrester Wave: IoT Security Solution, Q3 2025 report evaluates vendors across a vast and rigorous set of current offering criteria and strategy criteria to help security leaders select the best-fit solution for their needs.

A Word from Our CEO

Armis Strategic Roadmap: Doubling Down on IoT Security

Armis is doubling down on IoT security as part of our broader mission to provide customers with a business-critical cyber exposure management platform. With a focused expansion strategy to meet the growing complexity of connected environments. We are broadening passive and active protocol support to deliver full visibility across a vast range of IoT devices, strengthening our integrations portfolio to provide richer context and faster response, and extending protection to critical but often-overlooked IoT infrastructure such as Building Management Systems (BMS). Armis continues to develop its AI capabilities with platform functionality already propelled by over 50 advanced AI engines, Armis Centrix™ delivers unmatched visibility, context, and protection across the entire attack surface.

Our approach is intentional. We are building capabilities that set the industry standard, from early warning systems that identify and track threats in the wild, to advanced tools like Armis Centrix™ for VIPR, which enable security teams to zero in on the vulnerabilities that matter most to their mission-critical assets. Every addition to the Armis Centrix™ portfolio is either purpose-built or selectively acquired to close critical security gaps, optimize cyber threat exposure management, and enable organizations to reduce risk with greater speed and precision.
