Core6 Announces Partnership with Armis from ServiceNow to Extend Cyber Exposure Management to Storage and Backup Systems

Integration closes a critical blind spot as AI accelerates attacks on storage and backup systems

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Core6, the data infrastructure security company, today announced a partnership with Armis from ServiceNow, a global leader in cyber exposure management & security. The integration combines StorageGuard (Core6's Storage Security Posture Management platform) with Armis' continuous asset intelligence, delivering unified visibility, continuous risk assessment, and end-to-end security coverage across the entire IT and data protection stack – extending exposure management to the storage and backup systems that have long been a blind spot.

Ransomware groups and nation-state actors are increasingly targeting enterprise storage and backup environments to disable recovery and force ransom payments. This threat is accelerating as attackers weaponize AI to probe for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and baseline drift, moving from discovery to exploitation faster than manual security processes can respond.

The exposure window is shrinking, yet the systems at the center of it have traditionally sat outside the scope of exposure management programs: security teams could see every endpoint, server, and connected device, but not the storage arrays and backup platforms that hold the data itself.

The integration closes this critical gap by correlating Armis' real-time asset intelligence with StorageGuard's authenticated vulnerability and misconfiguration findings for storage and backup systems. This enables organizations to detect, prioritize, and remediate storage-layer exposures alongside the rest of their attack surface, from the single view they already use, with no agents to deploy and no new console to learn.

"Several banks the FSB classifies as globally systemically important harden their storage and backup with StorageGuard, because for them a misconfigured storage or backup system is not a finding on a list, it is systemic risk," said Gil Hecht, Founder and CEO of Core6. "By integrating StorageGuard with Armis' cyber exposure management and security capabilities, customers can hold their last line of defense to that same standard and keep it there, even as AI shrinks the window they have to respond." 

Key Benefits of the Integration

• Unified Visibility: Connected asset intelligence correlates with storage and backup security posture, providing a unified view of cyber risk across every layer of the environment.
  
  
• Context-Aware Prioritization: Armis asset context is combined with StorageGuard findings, so security teams can fix the storage and backup exposures that matter most first.
  
  
• Autonomous Hardening: Enforce a hardened security state across storage and backup systems through intelligent posture controls aligned with vendor hardening guides and industry best practices.
  
  
• Improved Ransomware Resilience: Identify and remediate the storage-layer risks that would let an attacker disable recovery, before they are exploited.
  
  
• Continuous Compliance: Generate continuous compliance evidence against NIST, ISO, CIS, PCI DSS, DORA, and other regulatory frameworks and industry standards.

"Storage and backup systems are critical assets that must be protected, especially as threat actors increasingly weaponize AI to target these environments," said Nadir Izrael, GVP, Cybersecurity and Risk at ServiceNow. "This partnership enables security teams to shift from reactive threat response to autonomous, AI-driven security – identifying and remediating threats in real time before there's any impact."

Availability

The integration is available immediately for existing Armis from ServiceNow and Core6 customers.
