ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, has completed its acquisition of Armis. Armis is a cyber exposure management and security company delivering AI-powered visibility and protection across connected assets in real time. It covers OT, IoT, medical devices, physical AI, code, and cloud environments across enterprises. The acquisition extends ServiceNow’s security platform into physical and operational enterprise layers with stronger cyber asset intelligence. This enables enterprises to deploy agentic AI with greater trust, control, and governance at scale.
The move follows ServiceNow’s completion of the Veza acquisition in March 2026. Veza added AI-native identity intelligence to the ServiceNow AI Platform with continuous access visibility. Together, Armis and Veza strengthen pre-breach and post-breach security across agentic AI environments. Armis provides real-time cyber asset visibility, while Veza maps identity access across humans, machines, and AI agents.
ServiceNow bridges visibility and cyber risk
For years, security practitioners have been battling tool fragmentation and visibility issues. Security risk management tools cannot remediate threats, while remediation solutions do not have complete threat context. These issues create an increasing gap between detection and response in today’s cyber environment. Stolen credentials are still the number one method used for entry and are on the rise. Machine identities outnumber human identities and frequently have privileged access capabilities. This leads to greater lateral movement attacks between networked systems. Agentic AI widens the attack surface between autonomous systems and unmanaged devices.
Classic cybersecurity solutions were not designed for such conditions. ServiceNow tackles this problem thanks to its architecture and intelligent framework. The Armis solution provides continuous visibility over billions of devices through passive identification techniques. Veza gives cross-network visibility through its Identity Access Graph technology. Both feed into ServiceNow’s Context Engine, which connects assets, identities, and business processes. This enables automated risk prioritization, autonomous remediation, and full audit control.
“Most security platforms stop at the alert. ServiceNow closes the loop,” said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “Armis gives us real-time, contextual awareness into the cyber risk of every connected asset, including the devices and systems that conventional tools were never built to see. Combined with Veza’s identity intelligence, that signal flows into ServiceNow’s Context Engine and AI Control Tower, turning exposure into automated remediation with governance and a full audit trail built in at every step.”
“We built Armis to solve the toughest cybersecurity challenges of organizations globally, protecting all their assets across IT, OT, IoT, medical devices, code, and cloud that are at the heart of manufacturing, healthcare, and critical infrastructure,” said Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO, Armis. “Joining ServiceNow, with Veza already on the platform, enables us to address this mission tenfold to keep the world’s largest and most complex enterprise environments safe and secure.”
Customer impact and cyber defense expansion
Armis Centrix™ now operates with full ServiceNow support and remains available as a standalone solution. Deeper integration with the ServiceNow AI Platform will continue over time. Customers can immediately leverage combined capabilities for stronger cyber risk management. Partners can also benefit from rising demand for agentic AI security solutions. ServiceNow is establishing an AI Center for Cyber Defense to advance autonomous cybersecurity. The hub will combine AI research with practical security applications for enterprises. Armis continues to earn strong industry recognition across leading analyst reports and awards. It is trusted by Fortune 10 companies, Fortune 100 firms, and global public sector organizations.
“Stronger cyber resilience starts with visibility across the entire network,” said Rex Thexton, chief technology officer, Accenture Cybersecurity. “At Accenture, we help clients align this critical security foundation with real business outcomes. By leveraging solutions like ServiceNow and Armis, organizations can accelerate automated asset protection so they can scale securely, build the visibility needed to be resilient, and stay ahead of cyber threats.”
“As the attack surface expands, real-time visibility and control over every asset is non-negotiable,” said John Whittle, chief operating officer, Fortinet. “ServiceNow’s acquisition of Armis enables a powerful three-way partnership with Fortinet, advancing cybersecurity into an AI-driven, autonomous system that helps organizations continuously understand assets, prioritize threats, and execute response in real time. With Fortinet’s industry-leading AI-driven innovation at scale, combined with our long-standing relationships and deep integrations across both platforms, we can drive ServiceNow security workflows with precision — delivering faster, closed-loop protection and more consistent, accurate response for our customers.”
The combined organization strengthens cyber-physical security expertise across the ServiceNow AI Platform. ServiceNow continues to scale its security and risk business with strong enterprise adoption globally.
