ServiceNow to acquire cybersecurity firm Armis for USD 7.75 billion

ServiceNow announced on 22 December 2025, that it entered a definitive agreement to acquire Armis, a company specialising in cybersecurity asset management. The deal is valued at USD 7.75 billion. This marks a significant expansion for ServiceNow as it moves deeper into the security software market.

Armis provides a platform that identifies and secures all connected devices within an organisation. This includes traditional computers, mobile devices, and Internet of Things (IoT) hardware. Many businesses struggle to track every device connected to their networks. Armis solves this by providing a real-time inventory of these assets without requiring software installations on the devices themselves.

Financial details and timeline

ServiceNow will pay the USD 7.75 billion purchase price in cash. The boards of directors for both companies have approved the transaction. The deal remains subject to regulatory approvals and standard closing conditions. Both companies expect the acquisition to close in the first half of 2026.

This acquisition follows a period of rapid growth for Armis. The company recently reported surpassing USD 200 million in annual recurring revenue. Prior to this deal, Armis had raised hundreds of millions in private funding from investors like Insight Partners and CapitalG, Google’s growth fund.

Expanding the platform

ServiceNow plans to incorporate Armis technology into its existing workflow platform. Currently, ServiceNow helps companies manage digital workflows for IT, human resources, and customer service. By adding Armis, ServiceNow can offer its customers better visibility into their physical and digital assets.

For example, a hospital uses thousands of connected devices, from laptops to infusion pumps and MRI machines. If a security flaw affects a specific type of medical device, the combined ServiceNow and Armis platform can identify every affected unit, assess the risk, and automatically start a workflow for a technician to fix the issue.

Strengthening security operations

The deal positions ServiceNow to compete more directly with dedicated cybersecurity firms. While ServiceNow already offers security orchestration tools, Armis provides the "ground truth" data about what is actually on the network.

Cybersecurity experts point out that you cannot protect what you cannot see. Many large corporations have "blind spots" where unmanaged devices connect to the corporate Wi-Fi. Armis finds these devices. By linking this discovery data with ServiceNow’s ticketing and management systems, companies can respond to threats faster.

Market context

This USD 7.75 billion price tag makes it one of the largest acquisitions in the cybersecurity sector in recent years. It reflects a trend of large enterprise software providers buying specialised security firms to create more comprehensive platforms.

Armis CEO Yevgeny Dibrov and Co-founder Nadir Izrael will continue to lead the Armis team within ServiceNow. They will report to ServiceNow’s leadership as they work to merge the two technologies.

ServiceNow leadership stated that this move helps customers manage the entire lifecycle of an asset. It covers everything from the moment a device joins a network to the day a company retires it. The acquisition focuses on reducing the manual work required to keep large corporate networks safe.
