ServiceNow buys Armis

ServiceNow has completed its $7.75 billion cash acquisition of Armis, folding a fast-growing device-security company into its software platform on April 20. (newsroom.servicenow.com) The deal was first announced on December 23, 2025, and ServiceNow said Armis will extend its security products across information technology, operational technology, internet-connected devices, medical devices, code, cloud systems and critical infrastructure. (businesswire.com) Armis is best known for agentless asset discovery, which means it identifies devices on a network without installing software on each machine. That matters in factories, hospitals and utilities, where old or specialized equipment often cannot run security agents. (industrialcyber.co) ServiceNow built its business on workflow software that routes tickets, approvals and remediation tasks across large companies. Armis brings the live inventory of what is actually connected, so ServiceNow can tie a device, its owner, its risk level and the response workflow into one system. (cio.com) The acquisition pushes ServiceNow deeper into operational technology, the category for industrial control systems that run plants, warehouses, energy sites and other physical operations. Those systems were once isolated, but more of them are now networked and exposed to the same cyber risks as office computers. (industrialcyber.co) ServiceNow said the Armis purchase is expected to more than triple its market opportunity for security and risk products. The company also closed its acquisition of identity-security firm Veza in March 2026, giving it another piece of the same broader security stack. (newsroom.servicenow.com) (intelligentciso.com) Armis co-founder and chief executive Yevgeny Dibrov said after the close that the company’s technology will now sit inside a larger platform that already manages enterprise workflows at scale. ServiceNow is betting customers want fewer separate tools and a tighter link between cyber alerts and operational action. (armis.com) (cio.com) The immediate change is simple: ServiceNow now owns the software that finds connected assets many companies struggle to count. The larger test is whether it can turn that visibility into faster fixes inside the same platform where customers already run work. (newsroom.servicenow.com)
