Background
Armis is an Israeli-founded company whose corporate wrapper has always been American. Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, who met in the Israeli military's Unit 81, started it in 2015 and still run it; its engineering has been based in Israel throughout, while its US headquarters sat in Palo Alto. Ownership has changed twice: Insight Partners bought control at a $1.1 billion valuation in a deal announced on January 6, 2020 — at the time the largest acquisition of a private Israeli cybersecurity company — and ServiceNow completed a roughly $7.75 billion purchase on April 20, 2026, one of the biggest cybersecurity deals ever signed in Israel. What flows to Israel from all of this is jobs, salaries and capital gains for Israeli shareholders, not philanthropy. This pass found no documented corporate donation, employee-matching programme, in-kind contribution, reservist-support scheme or official company statement by Armis relating to Israel after the October 7, 2023 attack, in English or Hebrew sources, and JLens's survey of global companies that supported Israel after October 7 does not list it. Armis does not appear on the BDS movement's consumer-boycott target lists, which focus on retail brands rather than enterprise security software.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2015 | — | Israel (founders, Tel Aviv engineering base, jobs) Armis was founded in 2015 by two Israelis, Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, who met during their service in the Israeli military's Unit 81, the technology unit of the intelligence directorate. Dibrov has been chief executive since the start and Izrael chief technology officer. The company builds asset-visibility and security software for connected devices — IT, operational technology, medical devices and industrial control systems — and grew to about 850 employees worldwide by the end of 2025, with more than $340 million in annual recurring revenue. Its US corporate headquarters was in Palo Alto, California at the time of the 2020 Insight Partners deal, and its engineering has been run from Israel throughout. Attribution note: Armis is consistently described in the Israeli business press as an Israeli cybersecurity company, but the operating parent is US-incorporated; what is Israeli about it is its two founders and its research-and-development base, not its place of incorporation. No published breakdown of Israeli versus non-Israeli headcount was found, so no such figure is claimed here. | |
| Acquisition | 2020-01-06 | $1,100,000,000 | Armis shareholders (sellers); Insight Partners (buyer), with CapitalG participating On January 6, 2020 the US private equity and venture firm Insight Partners announced it was acquiring Armis at a $1.1 billion valuation in cash, with Alphabet's growth fund CapitalG participating for $100 million and existing shareholders rolling over part of their stakes; the transaction was expected to close in February 2020. The announcement described it as the largest acquisition of a private Israeli cybersecurity company to that date and confirmed that Armis would continue to operate independently under co-founders Yevgeny Dibrov as chief executive and Nadir Izrael as chief technology officer. Attribution note: this is a commercial change of ownership. The money went to Armis's private shareholders — founders, employees and earlier investors — and not to the Israeli state or to any Israeli charity. | |
| Acquisition | 2026-04-20 | $7,750,000,000 | Armis shareholders and employees (sellers); ServiceNow, Inc. (buyer) ServiceNow completed its acquisition of Armis on April 20, 2026 for approximately $7.75 billion in cash, in a deal announced on December 23, 2025; Globes put the total value above $8 billion once employee retention bonuses are included, and described it as one of the largest cybersecurity transactions ever signed in Israel. Armis had been valued at $6.1 billion only weeks earlier, in a November 2025 pre-IPO round led by Goldman Sachs, so Insight Partners' 2020 position multiplied more than fivefold. Co-founder Yevgeny Dibrov stayed on to lead the business inside ServiceNow. Attribution note: Armis is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the American company ServiceNow; everything recorded on this page before April 20, 2026 was the act of an independently run company and is not attributable to ServiceNow. |
