ServiceNow has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Armis for approximately $7.75 billion in cash, a move that significantly strengthens its position in cybersecurity across IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices, and cyber-physical environments. The acquisition is aimed at delivering a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack that enables organizations to see, decide, and act across their entire technology footprint.
As enterprises and governments accelerate AI adoption, security has emerged as a top priority for leadership teams. With attack surfaces expanding rapidly across connected devices, cloud environments, and critical infrastructure, organizations require real-time visibility into vulnerabilities and clear prioritization of what to fix first. By bringing Armis’ cyber exposure management capabilities into the ServiceNow AI Platform, customers will gain continuous asset discovery, contextual risk intelligence, and automated remediation workflows within a single platform.
“Modern cyber risk doesn’t stay neatly confined to a single silo, and with security built into the ServiceNow AI Platform, neither will we.”
— Amit Zavery, President, COO and Chief Product Officer, ServiceNow
The combination of ServiceNow and Armis is expected to extend security coverage beyond traditional IT to include OT, IoT, and medical and industrial devices—areas often overlooked by legacy security tools. Integrated with ServiceNow’s business-context configuration management database and AI Control Tower, Armis’ real-time insights will help security teams move from reactive response to proactive risk reduction.
“ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow,” said Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer 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.”
From Armis’ perspective, the acquisition creates an opportunity to extend its cyber-physical security strengths to a broader global customer base. Yevgeny Dibrov, Co-founder and CEO of Armis, noted that AI is reshaping the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt, making real-time intelligence and contextual risk visibility essential.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Once completed, Armis’ team will join ServiceNow, reinforcing the company’s strategy to deliver AI-native, proactive cybersecurity for enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure worldwide.
