ServiceNow has entered into an agreement to acquire Armis, a cyber exposure management & security company, for $7.75 billion in cash.
Armis is a cyber exposure management and cyber-physical security company that manages cyber risk across the full attack surface in IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices, and other environments for companies, governments, and critical infrastructure worldwide.
The acquisition will expand ServiceNow’s security workflow offerings and advance AI-native, proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability response across all connected devices. 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.
The acquisition of Armis will extend and enhance ServiceNow’s Security, Risk, and OT portfolios in critical and fast-growing areas of cybersecurity and drive increased AI adoption by strengthening trust across businesses’ connected environments.
With ServiceNow’s Security and Risk business crossing the $1 billion annual contract value (ACV) threshold in the third quarter of 2025, ServiceNow has already established itself as a security leader. This strategic acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow’s market opportunity for security and risk solutions and accelerate ServiceNow’s roadmap to autonomous proactive cybersecurity.
Zavery, president, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow, 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.”
Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO, Armis, 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.”
Larry Feinsmith, head of Global Tech Strategy, Innovation & Partnerships at JPMorgan Chase, 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.”
Armis extends the full lifecycle of cyber exposure management, discovering assets in real-time and prioritizing the highest risk issues. 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 healthcare – so security teams stay ahead of threat actors rather than react after breaches occur. By connecting Armis’ capabilities and unique dataset to the ServiceNow AI Control Tower – which onboards, governs, and manages AI across the enterprise – ServiceNow builds on its broader security investments and the critical need for end-to-end exposure management and identity governance in AI security.
As longtime partners, ServiceNow and Armis already offer multiple integrations that connect Armis’ differentiated data and insights to ServiceNow’s workflow action. Armis provides deep, real-time, agentless discovery and classification of managed and unmanaged assets – including OT, IoT, medical, and industrial devices that traditional tools often miss – creating a continuously updated map of the enterprise environment.
When paired with ServiceNow’s business-context CMDB – which maps assets to the services, processes, and teams they support – and the ServiceNow AI Platform, ServiceNow and Armis will more effectively defend organizations from AI-powered attacks by offering a complete, actionable understanding of cyber exposures and resolution workflows. Exposure insights will automatically flow to the right teams, trigger remediation at scale, and deliver measurable, continuous reduction of enterprise risk.
Rather than fragmented views in separate tools, Armis and ServiceNow will offer a trusted AI-native platform for cyber asset exposure management, giving customers confidence in what’s connected, what’s exposed, and how quickly it can be addressed.
