ServiceNow has announced an agreement to acquire Armis for $7.75 billion in cash, marking one of the company’s largest security investments to date. Armis, a global leader in cyber exposure management and cyber‑physical security, provides real‑time visibility and risk intelligence across IT, OT, medical devices, industrial systems, and critical infrastructure. The acquisition will significantly expand ServiceNow’s security workflow portfolio and accelerate its strategy to deliver AI‑native, proactive cybersecurity across the entire technology estate.
As organizations adopt AI at unprecedented speed, security remains the top priority for CEOs. Global spending on information security is projected to rise 12.5% in 2026 to $240 billion, driven by escalating threats and the rapid expansion of AI and generative AI. With attack surfaces growing across connected devices and autonomous systems, enterprises require real‑time intelligence and automated response capabilities to stay ahead of adversaries. The addition of Armis strengthens ServiceNow’s Security, Risk, and OT offerings and is expected to more than triple the company’s market opportunity in security and risk solutions.
Amit Zavery, president, COO, and chief product officer at ServiceNow, said the acquisition positions the company to deliver “an industry‑defining strategic cybersecurity shield” built for the agentic AI era. “Intelligent trust and governance across any cloud, asset, AI system, or device are non‑negotiable,” he said. “Together with Armis, we will provide real‑time, end‑to‑end proactive protection across all technology estates.”
Armis CEO Yevgeny Dibrov emphasized the urgency of the threat landscape. “AI is transforming the threat environment faster than organizations can adapt. Every connected asset is now a potential vulnerability,” he said. “By joining ServiceNow, we will give customers the intelligence and automation needed to reduce exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
The combined platform will unify Armis’ agentless asset discovery, classification, and risk prioritization with ServiceNow’s workflow automation, CMDB, and AI Control Tower. This will enable organizations to automatically identify exposures, route insights to the right teams, and trigger remediation at scale—eliminating fragmented tools and delivering a single, trusted view of cyber risk.
Armis brings strong market traction, including more than $340 million in ARR, over 50% year‑over‑year growth, and adoption by 35% of the Fortune 100. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, after which Armis’ team will join ServiceNow.
