ServiceNow has agreed to acquire Armis for $7.75 billion in cash. Armis manages cyber risk across the full attack surface in IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices and other environments for companies, governments and critical infrastructure. The acquisition is expected to expand ServiceNow’s security workflow offerings and advance AI-native, proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability response across all connected devices, the company said.
The transaction is scheduled to close in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. Once final, the Armis team will join ServiceNow.
“Together, ServiceNow and Armis will create a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack that can see, decide and act across the entire technology footprint by connecting real-time asset discovery, threat intelligence and risk prioritization with automated remediation and response workflows,” officials said.
The strategic acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow’s market opportunity for security and risk solutions as well as accelerate the company’s roadmap to autonomous proactive cybersecurity.
Armis is designed to provide deep, real-time, agentless discovery and classification of managed and unmanaged assets, including OT, IoT, medical and industrial devices, creating a continuously updated map of the enterprise environment. Armis security products will pair with ServiceNow workflows to drive end-to-end protection and lifecycle action including in industries with cyber-physical assets, such as manufacturing and health care.
By connecting Armis’ capabilities and dataset to the ServiceNow AI Control Tower, which is designed to onboard, govern and manage AI across an enterprise, ServiceNow intends to “build on its broader security investments and the critical need for end-to-end exposure management and identity governance in AI security,” officials said.
“ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow,” said Amit Zavery, president, COO and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “In the agentic AI era, intelligent trust and governance that span any cloud, any asset, any AI system and any device are non-negotiable if companies want to scale AI for the long-term. Together with Armis, we will deliver an industry-defining strategic cybersecurity shield for real-time, end-to-end proactive protection across all technology estates. Modern cyber risk doesn’t stay neatly confined to a single silo, and with security built into the ServiceNow AI Platform, neither will we.”
“AI is transforming the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability,” said Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO at Armis. “We built Armis to protect the most critical environments and give both public and private sector organizations the real-time intelligence they need to stay ahead, so they can see their entire environment clearly, understand risk in context, and take action before an incident occurs. Together with ServiceNow, customers will have a powerful new way to reduce their exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
