Service Now Acquired Armis for $7.57 Billion in cash. Surprising but not surprising. Service Now always felt like its asset discovery was pretty poor. Hopefully this improves their ability to track and maintain a proper CMDB in the long term. For Armis whats interesting is that they were trying to be not just asset discovery but also some vulnerability management, will this get them there faster?
SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today entered into an agreement to acquire Armis for $7.75 billion in cash.
