Why it matters
ServiceNow said on April 20 that it completed its acquisition of cybersecurity company Armis, closing a cash deal announced at $7.75 billion. (servicenow.com) The companies announced the transaction on December 23, 2025, and ServiceNow said the close brings Armis’s asset discovery and cyber exposure tools into its own security and workflow platform. (servicenow.com) Armis built its business around finding connected devices that companies often do not fully track, including information technology systems, factory equipment, Internet of Things hardware, medical devices, cloud assets and code repositories. (armis.com) ServiceNow said that visibility is meant to feed directly into automated response inside its platform, so a security alert can trigger a ticket, an approval flow, a remediation task, or a policy change without switching systems. (servicenow.com) The timing fits ServiceNow’s larger push to sell itself as an “AI control tower” for enterprise operations, not just an information technology help-desk vendor. In March 2026, the company also completed its acquisition of identity company Veza. (servicenow.com) ServiceNow said the Armis deal is expected to more than triple its market opportunity for security and risk products, extending its reach beyond software workflows into operational technology and critical infrastructure. (servicenow.com) Armis co-founder and chief executive Yevgeny Dibrov said after the close that the company’s mission started in 2016 and focused on protecting “connected assets” that traditional tools often missed. (armis.com) Ynet called the transaction one of the largest exits in Israel’s tech sector and said it was finalized about a decade after Armis was founded in Israel. (ynetnews.com) ServiceNow is betting that companies want one system that can see more of their networks and act on that information faster. The close turns that pitch from a planned acquisition into an operating business inside ServiceNow. (servicenow.com)
