ServiceNow has a definitive agreement to acquire Armis, a leader in cyber exposure management and cyber-physical security, for about $7.75 billion in cash. This acquisition aims to boost ServiceNow’s security capabilities across the entire attack surface. This includes IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices, and other connected environments for enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure operators worldwide.
The combination is expected to create a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack that integrates real-time asset discovery, threat intelligence, and risk prioritization with automated remediation workflows. By bringing Armis’ deep visibility into managed and unmanaged assets together with ServiceNow’s AI Platform and workflow automation, the companies plan to help organizations move from reactive security to proactive, AI-driven cyber defense.
Security remains a top concern for executives as AI adoption accelerates and attack surfaces expand. Against this backdrop, the deal is expected to significantly strengthen ServiceNow’s Security, Risk, and OT portfolios. With its security and risk business already surpassing $1 billion in annual contract value in Q3 2025, ServiceNow expects the acquisition to more than triple its overall market opportunity in security and risk solutions and accelerate its roadmap toward autonomous cybersecurity.

“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.”
Armis’ platform specializes in real-time, agentless discovery and classification of assets, including OT, IoT, and medical devices that are often missed by traditional tools. When paired with ServiceNow’s CMDB and AI Control Tower, the combined solution is designed to provide a complete and actionable view of cyber exposure across the enterprise.
“AI is transforming the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability,” said Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO, Armis.
The transaction should close in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Once completed, Armis’ roughly 950 employees will join ServiceNow. This move will further boost ServiceNow’s strength in AI-native, enterprise-scale cybersecurity.
