ServiceNow has completed its approximately $7.75 billion acquisition of Armis, significantly expanding its AI-powered security and risk platform into real-time cyber asset visibility and automated risk remediation across enterprise environments.
The deal strengthens ServiceNow’s position as an AI control tower for enterprise operations by integrating Armis’ cyber exposure management capabilities with its broader platform. Armis brings real-time discovery, monitoring, and protection of connected assets spanning IT, OT, IoT, medical devices, physical AI systems, code, and cloud environments.
This acquisition builds on ServiceNow’s earlier 2026 purchase of Veza, which introduced AI-native identity intelligence into the platform. Together, Armis and Veza create a unified foundation that connects asset visibility with identity access intelligence, enabling both pre-breach and post-breach security workflows.
Security teams have historically faced a disconnect between tools that detect risk and those that remediate it. The combined platform aims to close this gap by linking Armis’ real-time asset intelligence with Veza’s access graph, all powered by ServiceNow’s Context Engine. This architecture allows enterprises to automatically prioritize risks, execute remediation through workflows, and maintain full auditability.
The need for this integration is driven by a rapidly expanding attack surface. Machine identities now far outnumber human identities, and many carry privileged access that organizations cannot fully monitor. At the same time, enterprises are increasingly deploying agentic AI systems, unmanaged operational technology, and connected infrastructure that traditional security tools were not designed to protect.
Armis currently tracks nearly 7 billion devices globally, providing continuous, non-invasive visibility across connected environments. Its technology is already trusted by a significant portion of Fortune 100 organizations, many of which are also ServiceNow customers.
For customers, Armis Centrix™ will remain available as a standalone solution while also integrating more deeply into the ServiceNow AI Platform over time. Joint customers can begin leveraging combined capabilities immediately, with broader rollout expected in future phases.
ServiceNow is also launching a new AI Center for Cyber Defense, a global hub focused on advancing autonomous cybersecurity. The initiative aims to bridge AI research and enterprise security deployment, helping organizations transition from reactive security models to proactive, AI-driven defense systems.
The acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow’s total addressable market for security and risk solutions, building on strong organic growth that already pushed its security business past $1 billion in annual contract value.
KEY QUOTES:
“Most security platforms stop at the alert. ServiceNow closes the loop. Armis gives us real-time, contextual awareness into the cyber risk of every connected asset, including the devices and systems that conventional tools were never built to see. Combined with Veza’s identity intelligence, that signal flows into ServiceNow’s Context Engine and AI Control Tower, turning exposure into automated remediation with governance and a full audit trail built in at every step.”
Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer, ServiceNow
“We built Armis to solve the toughest cybersecurity challenges of organizations globally, protecting all their assets across IT, OT, IoT, medical devices, code, and cloud that are at the heart of manufacturing, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Joining ServiceNow, with Veza already on the platform, enables us to address this mission tenfold to keep the world’s largest and most complex enterprise environments safe and secure.”
Yevgeny Dibrov, Co-Founder and CEO, Armis
“Stronger cyber resilience starts with visibility across the entire network. At Accenture, we help clients align this critical security foundation with real business outcomes. By leveraging solutions like ServiceNow and Armis, organizations can accelerate automated asset protection so they can scale securely, build the visibility needed to be resilient, and stay ahead of cyber threats.”
Rex Thexton, Chief Technology Officer, Accenture Cybersecurity, Accenture
“As the attack surface expands, real-time visibility and control over every asset is non-negotiable. ServiceNow’s acquisition of Armis enables a powerful three-way partnership with Fortinet, advancing cybersecurity into an AI-driven, autonomous system that helps organizations continuously understand assets, prioritize threats, and execute response in real time. With Fortinet’s industry-leading AI-driven innovation at scale, combined with our long-standing relationships and deep integrations across both platforms, we can drive ServiceNow security workflows with precision — delivering faster, closed-loop protection and more consistent, accurate response for our customers.”
John Whittle, Chief Operating Officer, Fortinet
