ServiceNow 今年 4 月以 77.5 亿美元现金收购网络安全公司 Armis。这是该公司历史上金额最大的一笔收购,也成为近年以色列科技行业规模靠前的创业公司退出案例之一。

这笔交易发生时,企业软件板块正承受 AI 相关压力。去年 12 月交易消息传出后,ServiceNow 股价一度在当日开盘下跌 9%。当时华尔街担心,AI 代理可能削弱传统企业软件的价值,市场随后甚至出现了“Saaspocalypse”这一说法。2026 年前四个月,ServiceNow 股价一度累计下跌 42%。

ServiceNow借并购补强安全业务

ServiceNow 首席产品官 Amit Zavery 对所谓“SaaS 末日论”并不认同。他表示,公司在市场担忧升温期间仍持续达到或超过自身财务目标。管理层判断,与其被动应对,不如借机扩大平台能力。

收购 Armis 后,ServiceNow 将网络安全、IT 资产管理和工业设备监控整合进同一平台。公司还把 Armis 与另一笔收购 Veza 一并纳入新设的 Autonomous Security and Risk 业务部门,并向投资者表示,这一组合正在推动其安全业务增长。

Armis聚焦企业联网设备监控

Armis 的核心产品是监测企业网络中的各类联网设备,包括医疗设备、工业系统以及其他物联网终端,并识别其中存在安全风险的设备。随着企业环境中非传统终端数量增加,这类能力正成为安全投入的重要方向。

交易完成后,Armis 联合创始人兼 CEO Yevgeny Dibrov 出任 ServiceNow 新设 Armis 业务单元总经理,另一位联合创始人 Nadir Izrael 则担任产品与工程集团副总裁。两人继续负责原有业务运营,但背后平台已变成一家市值约 1800 亿美元、拥有大量企业客户的软件公司。

  • 收购金额:77.5 亿美元现金
  • 交易时间:2026 年 4 月完成
  • 新部门名称:Autonomous Security and Risk

创始团队与投资回报同步放大

根据报道,Dibrov 与 Izrael 在这笔退出中合计获得约 9.3 亿美元。Armis 早年还曾获得多家知名投资机构支持。2020 年,Insight Partners 以约 11 亿美元收购 Armis,多数业务仍保持独立运营。

到 ServiceNow 收购时,Insight 所持股份价值约 33 亿美元,持股比例约为 43%。这也显示出,在 AI 重塑企业软件估值逻辑的阶段,网络安全资产仍能获得大型软件公司的高价收购。

从 ServiceNow 的角度看,这笔交易不仅是一次安全业务扩张,也是在企业客户重新评估软件支出时,强化平台黏性和产品组合的一次主动调整。
