Armis adds remote access for OT
Armis
This pushes Armis beyond finding risky devices and into controlling who can touch them, which is a much larger operational budget. In a wind farm, pipeline, rail network, or satellite ground station, the daily problem is not just knowing which PLC, sensor, or gateway exists, it is letting the right contractor or engineer log into that asset for a specific task without opening a wide VPN into the whole environment. Armis can now sell both visibility and the access layer around field operations.

The product is built for OT and cyber physical systems, not office IT. Armis describes granular, identity based access policies, approval workflows, audit trails, and session recording for protocols like SSH, RDP, HTTPS, PROFINET, and Modbus. That fits remote assets where uptime matters and many systems cannot run endpoint agents.

The customer pain is expensive and risky truck rolls. In distributed industrial networks, every vendor visit to a turbine, substation, or plant is time, travel, and outage risk. Internal research shows zero trust remote access can remove those truck roll costs for smaller factories, which makes the product an operations efficiency sale as much as a security sale.

This also broadens Armis versus OT visibility specialists like Claroty, Nozomi, and Dragos. Those players are strongest in monitoring industrial environments, while Armis is combining discovery, on premises OT security through OTORIO, and remote access through Xage into a wider platform that can cover inventory, exposure management, and operator access in one workflow.
The next step is for remote access to become a standard attach product anywhere Armis already maps industrial assets. As more utilities, manufacturers, and transport operators want one system for seeing devices, prioritizing risk, and brokering every technician session into the field, Armis moves from a monitoring tool to a control point in critical infrastructure operations.
