ServiceNow announced it will acquire Israeli cybersecurity startup Armis for $7.75 billion in cash, with the transaction expected to close in the second half of 2026. The deal will be financed through a mix of ServiceNow’s cash reserves and new debt, positioning the company to deliver end‑to‑end cyber‑exposure management across IT, OT, and medical‑device environments.
Armis brings $340 million in annual recurring revenue and a 50% year‑over‑year growth rate, adding a high‑margin, high‑growth security business that expands ServiceNow’s security portfolio. The acquisition is projected to more than triple ServiceNow’s market opportunity for security and risk solutions, reinforcing its strategy to become the AI operating system for the agentic enterprise.
Armis was recently valued at $6.1 billion after a November 2025 funding round, and its ARR growth has been driven by demand for real‑time asset intelligence and exposure management across the cyber‑physical attack surface. The integration will embed Armis’s capabilities into ServiceNow’s AI‑control tower, enabling autonomous proactive cybersecurity and real‑time threat response.
This is ServiceNow’s fourth acquisition in 2025, following the December 2 announcement of a deal to acquire Veza Security and the November 2025 purchase of Moveworks for $2.85 billion. The pattern signals a deliberate strategy to consolidate AI, automation, and security capabilities and to position the company as the AI operating system for the agentic enterprise.
Amit Zavery, ServiceNow’s President and COO, said the partnership would deliver an industry‑defining cybersecurity shield that translates intelligence into coordinated action. Armis co‑founder Yevgeny Dibrov added that the integration will allow customers to see the full attack surface in real time and respond automatically.
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, noting that the deal aligns with ServiceNow’s broader push into high‑growth security markets and leverages its AI platform to deliver end‑to‑end exposure management. Analysts highlighted the strategic fit and the potential for accelerated revenue growth in the security segment.
