Our take
As cyberattacks get more sophisticated, and digital environments more complex, it is harder and harder for businesses to manage their cybersecurity. Armis is a company that helps with this, supplying solutions to protect the entire attack surface and manage cyber risk exposure in real-time.
Though there are plenty of cybersecurity vendors out there, Armis has won a position as a leader in the market - which demonstrates the quality of its offering. It serves businesses such as United Airlines, Colgate-Palmolive, Mondelez and Reckitt, as well as national governments for whom it secures critical infrastructure.
The company has also raised extensive funding, and was valued at over $4 billion as of the end of 2024. In 2026 it was confirmed that Armis would be acquired by ServiceNow to create a unified security exposure and operations stack connecting threat intelligence and risk prioritization with automated response workflows.
