ServiceNow has completed the acquisition of Armis, a company specialising in cyber exposure management. The integration is intended to expand ServiceNow’s capabilities across both digital and physical environments, combining cyber asset intelligence with business processes to support the deployment of agentic AI at scale in a more secure way.
The acquisition builds on ServiceNow’s earlier purchase of Veza, which added identity intelligence capabilities to its platform. Together, these components are designed to improve organisations’ ability to manage both pre-incident and post-incident scenarios, with a focus on securing connected assets across operational technology and cloud environments.
In many environments, limitations in traditional risk management tools have made it difficult to connect detection and remediation functions effectively. Armis aims to address this by providing near real-time visibility and monitoring across a large number of connected devices globally, using non-invasive discovery methods. The integration with Veza is intended to support visibility of permissions across users, machines, and AI agents.
ServiceNow’s approach includes what it describes as a Context Engine, which is designed to align AI-driven actions with business priorities, enable automated remediation of identified risks, and maintain audit records of actions taken. In this model, the platform functions not only as a monitoring system but also as a workflow-based mechanism for responding to security events.
As part of the integration, Armis Centrix is being connected with ServiceNow’s AI infrastructure, while also continuing to exist as a standalone product. Customers are expected to be able to use the combined capabilities for deploying agentic AI with governance controls in place.
ServiceNow has also announced plans to launch an AI Centre for Cyber Defence, aimed at supporting development in AI-driven security approaches and exploring transitions from reactive to more automated security operations.
Armis has previously been recognised in industry assessments such as the Gartner Magic Quadrant and The Forrester Wave. ServiceNow has an established customer base that includes a number of Fortune 100 companies.
The initiative also involves collaboration with partners including Accenture and Fortinet, with the aim of supporting the scaling of enterprise security capabilities and adapting to evolving cybersecurity requirements.
