Claroty is a leading industrial cybersecurity company specializing in protecting operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), critical infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT) environments, and broader cyber-physical systems from advanced cyber threats. Founded in 2015 by Israeli entrepreneurs Benny Porat, Amir Zilberman, and Galina Antova, the company emerged from the Israeli cybersecurity ecosystem through its association with Team8, a venture studio. Headquartered in New York City with significant operations in Tel Aviv, Claroty provides solutions for asset discovery, vulnerability management, threat detection, secure remote access, and continuous threat detection (including Continuous Threat Detection/CTD and Secure Access Service Edge/SASE platforms), helping organizations achieve visibility, segmentation, and control over legacy and modern OT networks while bridging IT and OT security gaps. The company serves industries including manufacturing, energy, utilities, and healthcare, addressing growing risks from state-sponsored attacks, ransomware, and incidents like Stuxnet, and helps organizations comply with standards like NIST and IEC 62443. Claroty has raised over $400 million in venture capital from investors including Sequoia Capital, Team8, and YL Ventures, achieving unicorn status in 2021 with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. The company collaborates with major technology firms like Microsoft, AWS, and Siemens, integrating its solutions into broader security ecosystems. Claroty maintains affiliations with high-profile figures such as former Mossad director Yossi Cohen in advisory or board roles, enhancing its credibility in national security circles. The company engages in research and thought leadership, publishing reports on OT threats and contributing to global cybersecurity standards. Recognized by industry analysts like Gartner and Forrester as a visionary/key player in OT security, Claroty faces competition from firms like Dragos and Nozomi Networks. With offices in the US, Israel, and Europe (global presence in multiple countries), it serves Fortune 500 clients and government entities, positioning itself as a key player bridging commercial technology and geopolitical security interests. Its growth trajectory includes acquisitions and strategic alliances.
