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
