What Armis does

Armis is a cyber exposure management and security company founded in 2016 in Israel by Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, headquartered in San Francisco, California, and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of ServiceNow following a $7.75 billion cash acquisition completed on April 20, 2026. Its flagship product is Armis Centrix™, a cloud-native, agentless Cyber Exposure Management platform powered by the AI-driven Armis Asset Intelligence Engine, a crowdsourced knowledge base tracking over 6.5 billion assets across IT, OT, IoT, IoMT, cloud, and code environments. The platform combines passive network traffic analysis with vendor-safe Smart Active Querying, deep packet inspection, behavioral anomaly detection, and the Armis Vulnerability Intelligence Database to deliver real-time asset discovery, risk scoring, vulnerability prioritization, and automated policy enforcement via 200+ pre-built integrations.

Armis monetizes primarily through quote-based enterprise SaaS subscriptions to Armis Centrix and modular add-ons (CAASM, OT/IoT Security, Medical Device Security, VIPR Pro, VMDR, Application Security, Early Warning, SRA), typically sold under multi-year contracts priced by asset count, environment scope, and deployment model (SaaS, hybrid, on-prem, or air-gapped). At the time of the ServiceNow acquisition, Armis reported more than $340 million in annual recurring revenue with 50%+ year-over-year growth, serving over 35% of the Fortune 100 across healthcare, manufacturing, government/defense, energy, retail, and financial services verticals, with a dedicated Armis Federal division and DISA IL5 / FedRAMP Moderate authorizations. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, a formal channel partner program (Armis Integration Network, 5-Star CRN Partner Program), the Armis Marketplace and Developer Portal (API v3), and—post-acquisition—ServiceNow's global enterprise sales force and Autonomous Security & Risk platform.

Revenue model

1. Armis Centrix Subscription Licenses: Recurring SaaS subscriptions to the Armis Centrix platform and its modular solutions (Asset Management & Security, OT/IoT Security, Medical Device Security, VIPR Pro, VMDR, Application Security, Early Warning). Sold via "Request a Demo" with quote-based pricing, typically multi-year enterprise contracts; before the ServiceNow acquisition, Armis was reported to have more than $340M in annual recurring revenue with over 50% year-over-year growth.
2. Deployment & Professional Services: On-premises and hybrid deployment options (including an air-gapped on-prem OT/IoT product), plus implementation, integration, and managed services delivered by Armis Professional Services and the partner ecosystem.
3. API & Developer Platform Access: Indirect monetization through the Armis Developer Portal and Armis Marketplace, where ecosystem developers and partners consume Armis asset intelligence via API v3 and pre-built integrations, supporting land-and-expand into broader enterprise deals.

• IllumiocoreTechnology or Integration · 11 February 2026Illumio and Armis expanded their strategic partnership in February 2026 to deliver an integrated security solution for converged IT and OT environments. The joint offering links Armis's asset discovery and cyber exposure management with Illumio's breach containment and microsegmentation platform, enabling Zero Trust security, asset discovery, and risk-based network segmentation globally.
• NVIDIAcoreTechnology or IntegrationArmis has a published Partner Brief on "Armis Exposure Management & Security on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU" and has blogged on protecting NVIDIA AI Factories at scale. The integration supports in-silicon security enforcement for agentic AI storage processing on the NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX platform.
• ServiceNowflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerServiceNow completed its $7.75 billion cash acquisition of Armis on April 20, 2026. Armis is integrated into the ServiceNow AI Platform as part of the Autonomous Security & Risk offering and ServiceNow's AI Control Tower, combining asset intelligence with Veza identity governance. Pre-acquisition, ServiceNow was already a deep technology integration partner, with Armis opening high-priority ServiceNow tickets automatically from OT alerts.
• Palo Alto Networks (CyberArk)minorOthersReferenced as a peer vendor in the broader cybersecurity M&A wave. Armis's $7.75B ServiceNow deal is grouped with Palo Alto Networks' $25B CyberArk acquisition and Google's $32B Wiz acquisition as a 2025–2026 cybersecurity consolidation event.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Claroty: Direct competitor in OT/IoT/CPS security, offering asset discovery, vulnerability management, and threat detection for industrial, healthcare, and critical-infrastructure environments — directly overlapping Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security and Medical Device Security.
• Nozomi Networks: Direct OT/IoT/ICS cybersecurity peer providing asset visibility, network monitoring, and vulnerability management for industrial control systems — comparable to Armis's on-prem and SaaS OT/IoT modules and a similar regulated-vertical customer base.
• Axonius: Direct CAASM competitor that consolidates asset data from existing security and IT tools to provide a unified asset inventory and security posture view — directly comparable to Armis Centrix for Asset Management and Security (CAASM).
• Forescout: Direct peer in OT/IoT and networked-device visibility, with comparable passive-monitoring architecture and a similar federal, healthcare, and industrial customer base — competing head-to-head in the agentless asset visibility category.
• Tenable: Direct vulnerability management peer; Tenable Nessus and Tenable One overlap with Armis Centrix VMDR and VIPR Pro, and Tenable is one of the scanner sources Armis ingests via bi-directional integration.
• Qualys: Direct vulnerability management and cloud security peer whose VMDR and TruRisk platform overlap with Armis Centrix VMDR and VIPR Pro, with Qualys scanner data also ingestible into Armis's prioritization engine.
• Rapid7: Direct vulnerability management and exposure management peer, offering InsightVM and exposure analytics that compete with Armis Centrix VMDR and VIPR Pro in mid-market and enterprise security operations.

Emerging players

• Dragos: OT-specific cybersecurity peer focused on industrial control systems and ICS threat intelligence; comparable to Armis's on-prem OT/IoT module but with a narrower industrial-only focus and emerging global footprint.

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: Broad incumbent expanding its Falcon platform into exposure management, asset visibility, and OT/IoT — competing with Armis from a much larger endpoint install base, broader R&D budget, and integrated single-agent architecture.
• Palo Alto Networks: Broad incumbent operating the Cortex XSIAM and Prisma platforms across SIEM, EDR, cloud, and exposure management — competing with Armis as part of a wider portfolio rather than a focused CPS/exposure niche.
