ServiceNow has made a monumental move in the cybersecurity market, entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Armis for $7.75 billion in cash. This acquisition aims to create a unified security exposure and operations platform, extending ServiceNow's AI-native security workflows to protect every connected asset—from IT and cloud to operational technology (OT) and medical devices—for enterprises and critical infrastructure globally.
ServiceNow acquires cyber exposure leader Armis in a $7.75 billion all-cash deal.
The move expands ServiceNow's security reach into OT, IoT, and medical device protection.
The combined platform aims to offer real-time asset discovery, risk prioritization, and automated remediation.
The acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow's security and risk market opportunity.
It accelerates ServiceNow's roadmap toward autonomous, proactive cybersecurity.
Armis brings over $340M in ARR, serving over 35% of the Fortune 100.
This acquisition directly addresses the expanding and interconnected attack surface in the AI era. By integrating Armis's agentless, real-time asset discovery and cyber exposure management with ServiceNow's AI Control Tower and workflow automation, the companies plan to deliver a platform that can see, decide, and act across an organization's entire technology footprint. The goal is to shift from reactive security to proactive, AI-driven risk reduction.
Security remains the top CEO priority, with end-user spending projected to grow significantly. ServiceNow's Security and Risk business recently crossed $1 billion in annual contract value, and this acquisition is positioned to more than triple its addressable market. Amit Zavery, president, COO, and CPO at ServiceNow, stated: “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.”
Armis specializes in discovering and classifying both managed and unmanaged assets—including those in OT and healthcare environments that traditional tools miss. When this real-time exposure data is paired with ServiceNow's configuration management database (CMDB) and automated workflows, security teams gain a complete, actionable view of risk. Insights can automatically trigger prioritized remediation, aiming for continuous risk reduction.
Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO of Armis, said: “AI is transforming the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability. Together with ServiceNow, customers will have a powerful new way to reduce their exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
The combined entity will target industries with critical cyber-physical assets, such as manufacturing and healthcare. Armis, recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms, brings a robust platform trusted by major global enterprises and government agencies.
ServiceNow's acquisition of Armis represents a strategic bid to dominate the converging spaces of AI workflow automation and holistic cybersecurity. By embedding deep asset intelligence and exposure management directly into its AI platform, ServiceNow aims to provide the foundational "trust layer" necessary for organizations to securely adopt AI at scale while protecting their most critical and often overlooked connected environments.
