ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, today completed its acquisition of Armis. Armis, a leading cyber exposure management and security company, delivers a comprehensive AI-powered solution that sees, protects, and manages cyber risk across every connected asset — from OT, IoT, medical devices, physical AI to code and cloud — in real time. The acquisition extends ServiceNow's security platform into the physical and operational layers of the enterprise, adding the cyber asset intelligence foundation and business context that enterprises need to deploy agentic AI with trust and control at scale.
ServiceNow completes $7.75B cash acquisition of Armis, following the Veza acquisition in March 2026.
Armis tracks nearly 7 billion devices in real time across OT, IoT, medical devices, physical AI, code, and cloud.
Machine identities now outnumber human identities by more than 80 to one, with nearly half carrying sensitive access rights.
ServiceNow establishes AI Center for Cyber Defense to pioneer autonomous, agentic cyber defense.
Armis was named a Leader in 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms and Forrester Wave for IoT Security.
The acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow's market opportunity for security and risk solutions.
"Most security platforms stop at the alert. ServiceNow closes the loop," said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. "Armis gives us real-time, contextual awareness into the cyber risk of every connected asset, including the devices and systems that conventional tools were never built to see. Combined with Veza's identity intelligence, that signal flows into ServiceNow's Context Engine and AI Control Tower, turning exposure into automated remediation with governance and a full audit trail built in at every step."
"We built Armis to solve the toughest cybersecurity challenges of organizations globally, protecting all their assets across IT, OT, IoT, medical devices, code, and cloud that are at the heart of manufacturing, healthcare, and critical infrastructure," said Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO, Armis. "Joining ServiceNow, with Veza already on the platform, enables us to address this mission tenfold to keep the world's largest and most complex enterprise environments safe and secure."
Security teams operating across fragmented, point solution stacks have long faced a structural challenge. Historically, the tools that manage risk cannot execute on remediation actions, and the tools that remediate cyber risk cannot see the full picture. The result is a widening gap between detection and response, a gap that exponentially increases the risk of security incidents in the agentic AI era. Stolen credentials remain the dominant entry point for attackers, and this problem is accelerating. Machine identities now outnumber human identities by more than 80 to one, and nearly half carry sensitive or privileged access rights that most organizations cannot fully see or control, leading to lateral movement attacks.
ServiceNow's advantage is architectural. Armis provides continuous, real-time visibility, management, and security across every connected cyber asset through non-invasive discovery, tracking nearly 7 billion devices in real time, including OT, IoT, medical devices and physical AI, code, and cloud. Veza's Access Graph provides cross-system visibility into every permission held by every human, machine, and AI agent identity. Both graphs power ServiceNow's Context Engine — the organizational intelligence that grounds every AI action in business reality, mapping assets and identities to the services, processes, teams, and policies that depend on them.
ServiceNow is establishing an AI Center for Cyber Defense — a global hub dedicated to building the next generation AI security stack and pioneering the transition from reactive security to autonomous, agentic cyber defense. The center will bridge the gap between AI research and practical cybersecurity solutions, serve as a definitive resource for enterprise security leaders transitioning from legacy frameworks to AI-native security postures, and develop the expertise needed to anticipate and neutralize AI-driven attacks before they occur.
"Stronger cyber resilience starts with visibility across the entire network," said Rex Thexton, chief technology officer, Accenture Cybersecurity. "At Accenture, we help clients align this critical security foundation with real business outcomes. By leveraging solutions like ServiceNow and Armis, organizations can accelerate automated asset protection so they can scale securely, build the visibility needed to be resilient, and stay ahead of cyber threats."
"As the attack surface expands, real-time visibility and control over every asset is non-negotiable," said John Whittle, chief operating officer, Fortinet. "ServiceNow's acquisition of Armis enables a powerful three-way partnership with Fortinet, advancing cybersecurity into an AI-driven, autonomous system that helps organizations continuously understand assets, prioritize threats, and execute response in real time."
For current Armis customers, Armis Centrix now operates with the full support of ServiceNow's product, engineering, and global go-to-market organization. It is integrated with the ServiceNow AI Platform today and remains available as a standalone solution, with deeper integration expected over time. Customers of both ServiceNow and Armis can immediately begin leveraging their combined capabilities, with broader availability coming soon. Partners can immediately accelerate revenue by tapping into growing customer demand from organizations looking to deploy agentic AI with trust and control at scale.
Armis is trusted by nine of the Fortune 10 and more than 35% of the Fortune 100, as well as by public sector organizations and government agencies globally. Many of these organizations are already ServiceNow customers, reinforcing the complementary nature of both companies' capabilities. ServiceNow closed its largest quarter ever for OT in Q4 2025 and its security and risk business crossed $1 billion in annual contract value in Q3 — organic growth that established the foundation Armis now extends. Armis, together with Veza, is expected to more than triple ServiceNow's addressable market for security and risk solutions.
