ServiceNow's $7.75 Billion Armis Deal Targets OT and ICS Security Gap

ServiceNow agreed in December 2025 to acquire cybersecurity startup Armis for $7.75 billion, expecting the deal to triple its security market opportunity. Armis's agentless asset visibility spans operational technology, industrial control systems, and IoT environments where traditional endpoint tools fail. The acquisition, closing in late 2026, represents ServiceNow's bet that enterprise security workflows require ownership of the underlying telemetry layer across IT and OT infrastructure.
