ServiceNow has agreed to acquire Armis, a cyber exposure management and cyber-physical security company, for US$7.75 billion in cash.
Armis manages cyber risk across IT, operational technology (OT), medical devices, and other environments for businesses, governments, and critical infrastructure worldwide.
The acquisition will extend ServiceNow’s security workflow offerings and support proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability management across all connected devices.
“ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow,”
said Amit Zavery, President, COO, and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow.
“Intelligent trust and governance across any cloud, asset, AI system, or device are essential if companies want to scale AI safely. Together with Armis, we will provide end-to-end proactive protection across all technology estates.”
Armis’ platform discovers assets in real time, prioritises high-risk issues, and integrates with ServiceNow workflows to support security teams across industries with cyber-physical assets, including manufacturing and healthcare.
By combining Armis’ agentless discovery and classification of managed and unmanaged devices with ServiceNow’s business-context CMDB and AI Platform, organisations can gain a complete view of cyber exposures and automated resolution workflows.
“Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability,”
said Yevgeny Dibrov, Co-Founder and CEO of Armis.
“Our platform provides real-time intelligence to understand risk in context and act before incidents occur. Together with ServiceNow, customers will have a new way to reduce exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
