ServiceNow to Acquire Armis in $7.8B Cybersecurity Cash Deal
ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) has entered into an agreement to acquire Armis, a cyber exposure management and security company, for $7.75 billion in cash, the company announced. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
Armis, which manages cyber risk across the full attack surface in information technology, operational technology and medical devices for companies, governments and critical infrastructure worldwide, will join ServiceNow if the acquisition is completed, according to the announcement.
ServiceNow said the acquisition will expand its security workflow offerings and advance artificial intelligence-native, proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability response across all connected devices. Together the companies will create a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack designed to connect real-time asset discovery, threat intelligence and risk prioritization with automated remediation and response workflows.
In its statement ServiceNow described the deal as a way to extend and enhance its security, risk and operational technology portfolios in critical and fast-growing areas of cybersecurity and to strengthen trust across connected environments.
ServiceNow noted that security remains a top priority for chief executives as organizations adopt artificial intelligence (AI), and said the combined business is expected to more than triple its market opportunity for security and risk solutions.
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, ServiceNow will fund the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and debt. Armis’ team is expected to join ServiceNow after the deal closes.
