ServiceNow on Tuesday agreed to buy cybersecurity startup Armis for $7.75 billion, in the enterprise software maker’s biggest-ever deal, as it bolsters its services to help counter rising cyberattacks driven by AI adoption.
Through the deal, the company aims to integrate Alphabet-backed Armis’ security features such as device scanning and threat detection, a crucial advantage amid sophisticated cyberattacks that have hit companies ranging from Microsoft to UnitedHealth Group. However, ServiceNow’s shares fell about 3%, as investors worried over the company’s recent splurge on acquisitions. “Our security stack, with the acquisition of Armis, is very well positioned, so we won’t need to do any more M&A in security space,” ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Gina Mastantuono told Reuters. The company expects the deal, scheduled to close in the second half of 2026, to triple the market opportunity for its security and risk business.
