ServiceNow has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Armis, a leader in cyber exposure management across IT, operational technology, and medical devices. According to a recent Bloomberg News report, ServiceNow was in talks to acquire Armis.
The acquisition will expand ServiceNow’s security workflow offerings and advance AI-native, proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability response across all connected devices.
The acquisition of Armis will extend and enhance ServiceNow’s Security, Risk, and OT portfolios in critical and fast-growing areas of cybersecurity and drive increased AI adoption by strengthening trust across businesses’ connected environments.
“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,” said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “Together with Armis, we will deliver an industry-defining strategic cybersecurity shield for real-time, end-to-end proactive protection across all technology estates. Modern cyber risk doesn’t stay neatly confined to a single silo, and with security built into the ServiceNow AI Platform, neither will we.”
The acquisition comes as the information security market is expected to grow by 12.5% to $240 billion in 2026.
Security continues to be the number one priority for CEOs as organizations navigate increased adoption of AI. Worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to increase 12.5% in 2026 to $240 billion, with rising threats and the expanding use of AI and generative AI being the key growth drivers.
ServiceNow expects the market for its security and risk solutions to more than triple as a result of this acquisition.
“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. “Together with ServiceNow, customers will have a powerful new way to reduce their exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
