ServiceNow has agreed to acquire Armis in a deal that aims to strengthen security across IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices and other connected environments worldwide.
The acquisition is intended to expand ServiceNow’s security workflow capabilities and accelerate the development of AI-native, proactive cybersecurity across the full attack surface. ServiceNow has agreed to acquire Armis for $7.75bn in cash. The transaction is designed to create a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack that combines real-time asset visibility with automated remediation and response workflows.
ServiceNow operates as an AI control tower for business reinvention, providing workflow-driven platforms that help organisations manage IT, security, risk and operations at scale. Its Security and Risk business surpassed $1bn in annual contract value in the third quarter of 2025, underscoring the company’s growing footprint in enterprise security and governance.
Armis specialises in cyber exposure management, helping organisations identify, prioritise and remediate risk across IT, OT, IoT, medical and industrial devices. Its platform delivers agentless, real-time asset discovery and classification, including unmanaged and hard-to-see devices that traditional security tools often overlook. This capability has made Armis a key provider for organisations operating complex cyber-physical environments such as healthcare, manufacturing and critical infrastructure.
The acquisition comes amid rising global cybersecurity spend and growing concerns over AI-driven threats. Worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to rise 12.5% in 2026 to $240bn, driven by increased threat activity and the rapid adoption of AI and generative AI. As AI expands organisational attack surfaces, ServiceNow sees real-time visibility and prioritised remediation as critical to maintaining trust and resilience.
By integrating Armis’ capabilities with ServiceNow’s configuration management database and AI Platform, the combined offering is expected to provide continuous insight into cyber exposure and automate responses across enterprise environments. Exposure insights will be routed to the appropriate teams, triggering remediation workflows designed to deliver measurable reductions in risk rather than fragmented views across multiple tools.
ServiceNow and Armis have an existing partnership, with multiple integrations already connecting Armis’ data and insights to ServiceNow workflows. The acquisition builds on this relationship and supports ServiceNow’s broader investments in security, risk management and AI governance, particularly as organisations seek end-to-end exposure management for connected and AI-enabled environments.
Armis brings strong commercial momentum to the transaction. Founded in 2015, the company has surpassed $340m in annual recurring revenue, with year-on-year ARR growth exceeding 50%. Its platform is used by Global 2000 enterprises, including more than 35% of the Fortune 100 and seven of the Fortune 10, as well as public-sector bodies and government agencies worldwide. Armis was recently named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms and recognised as an Inc. Best in Business honouree for Innovation.
ServiceNow president, chief operating officer and chief product officer Amit Zavery said, “ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow. 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.”
Armis co-founder and CEO Yevgeny Dibrov said, “AI is transforming the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability. 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.”
JPMorgan Chase head of Global Tech Strategy, Innovation & Partnerships Larry Feinsmith said, “In the era of AI and agents, the benefits and value will be enormous, but so is the complexity. The combination of ServiceNow and Armis provides a dynamic picture of an enterprise’s connected technology assets and an AI and agentic powered blueprint to secure and enable trusted AI.”
