ServiceNow completed its acquisition of Armis on Monday, bringing real-time cyber asset visibility inside the same platform that handles automated remediation and response. The deal closes alongside Veza, the identity intelligence company ServiceNow acquired in March, giving the platform three interconnected layers: knowing what assets exist, knowing who can reach them, and acting on that information without waiting for a human to connect the dots.
The operational context matters. Enterprises running agentic AI have expanded their technology estates well beyond the devices conventional security tools were built to cover. Armis was designed specifically for those environments — operational technology, industrial control systems, connected infrastructure that logs little and is patched rarely. Its real-time asset intelligence maps devices, software versions, and network behaviour across the full estate and feeds that picture into ServiceNow's response workflows.
ServiceNow's security and risk unit crossed $1 billion in annual contract value last year. The company expects the Armis acquisition to more than triple its addressable market in security — a figure that reflects how much of enterprise risk now sits outside the perimeter that traditional endpoint tools were built to defend.
The combined Armis-Veza-ServiceNow proposition is a platform that senses, prioritises, and remediates risk autonomously: asset visibility that knows what's there, identity intelligence that knows what's reachable, and workflow automation that closes the gap between the two.
