What did ServiceNow buy when it acquired Armis?
ServiceNow bought Armis to extend its security platform into the physical and operational layers of the enterprise, adding asset intelligence for connected devices, according to ServiceNow's completion announcement. Armis finds and classifies devices without installing software on them, which matters in hospitals and factories where agents cannot be installed.
The close followed ServiceNow's March 2026 purchase of the identity-security company Veza, and ServiceNow said the two deals should more than triple its addressable market for security and risk products, IT Brief reported. Armis Centrix remains available as a standalone product. Verdict reported that Armis customers include nine of the Fortune 10 and more than 35% of the Fortune 100, and that many already use ServiceNow.
How did Armis's valuation climb to $7.75 billion?
Armis's valuation rose from $4.2 billion in October 2024 to $6.1 billion in November 2025, and ServiceNow then paid $7.75 billion, a 27% premium to that last round by Olam's arithmetic.
