ServiceNow to acquire Armis to expand cyberexposure and security across full attack surface
erviceNow has entered into an agreement to acquire Armis
S for US $ 7.75 billion in cash, significantly expanding its security and risk capabilities across enterprise IT, operational technology, medical devices and cyberphysical environments. Armis is a leader in cyber exposure management, helping organisations, governments and operators of critical infrastructure manage risk across their entire connected technology footprint.
The acquisition will extend ServiceNow’ s security workflow portfolio and accelerate its roadmap towards AI-native, proactive cybersecurity. Together, ServiceNow and Armis will create a unified security exposure and operations stack that can see, decide and act across the entire technology estate by linking real-time asset discovery, threat intelligence and risk prioritisation with automated remediation and response workflows.

Security remains a top priority for executive leadership as organisations expand their use of AI. Global end-user spending on information security is projected to rise 12.5 % in 2026 to reach US $ 240 billion, driven by escalating threats and the growing adoption of AI and Generative AI. As AI increases organisational attack surfaces, real-time visibility into vulnerabilities and clear prioritisation of remediation actions have become critical.
“ ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow,” said Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer, ServiceNow.“ In the Agentic AI era, intelligent trust and governance across any cloud, asset or device are essential. Together with Armis, we will deliver proactive, end-to-end protection across entire technology estates.”
SandboxAQ and DoW CIO partner to strengthen US defences against Quantum and AI-driven Cyberthreats
andboxAQ, a leader in AI and cybersecurity solutions, is providing its technology and expertise to the Department
S of War( DoW) Chief Information Officer( CIO) to accelerate the discovery and inventory of cryptographic assets within the DoW’ s environment. This is a foundational step for a managed transition to post-quantum cryptography( PQC) and supports overall cyber-readiness.
Building on SandboxAQ’ s successful demonstration of its advanced capabilities in quantum-resistant cryptography during a prototype project with DISA Emerging Technology’ s QRC PKI programme, the
DoW CIO is now leveraging the company’ s AQtive Guard platform for comprehensive, automated cryptographic discovery and inventory( ACDI) across its systems. This strategic move comes as organisations face increasing pressure to modernise their cybersecurity infrastructure in the face of sophisticated AI-powered attacks, a proliferation of non-human identities and the looming threat of quantum computing.
AQtive Guard provides a centralised platform for managing cryptographic security, empowering organisations to efficiently discover and inventory cryptographic assets and dependencies within their environment. This agreement paves the way for other DoW agencies to access and implement AQtive Guard, enabling a foundational understanding of their cryptographic footprint across the department.
“ The DoW CIO is dedicated to modernising its cybersecurity practices as attacks increase in both intensity and sophistication,” said Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ.“ This agreement underscores the government’ s commitment to advance cryptographic standards that address both AI-driven and quantum threats. SandboxAQ is proud to support DoW CIO as it works to ensure our defence systems remain resilient, interoperable and agile.”
