Claroty

Claroty protects cyber-physical systems: the industrial control systems, medical devices, building systems and other connected equipment that run factories, utilities, hospitals and data centers. Its platform covers asset inventory, exposure management, network protection, secure remote access and threat detection, delivered in the cloud as Claroty xDome or on premises as Continuous Threat Detection. It was founded in 2014 inside Israeli cybersecurity foundry Team8, with Amir Zilberstein as co-founder and first CEO, and is headquartered in New York City. Yaniv Vardi is CEO, and NightDragon founder Dave DeWalt is board chairman.

Claroty exited stealth in September 2016 with $32 million from Bessemer Venture Partners, Innovation Endeavors, Marker LLC, ICV, Red Dot Capital Partners and Mitsui. Temasek led a $60 million Series B in June 2018 with Rockwell Automation, Aster Capital (Schneider Electric), Next47 (Siemens), Envision Ventures and Tekfen Ventures, bringing total funding to $93 million. Bessemer's growth fund and Standard Industries' 40 North co-led a $140 million Series D in June 2021, with LG and I Squared Capital, taking the total to $235 million. In December 2021 SoftBank Vision Fund 2 co-led a $400 million Series E with Bessemer, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation and Standard Investments, bringing the total to $635 million and funding the acquisition of healthcare IoT security company Medigate. Delta-v Capital led $100 million of growth financing in March 2024 that included credit from AllianceBernstein and Silicon Valley Bank, later joined by Princeville Capital, Bosch Ventures and Chevron Technology Ventures. Golub Growth led a $150 million Series F in January 2026.

The company is private. Its Series F release says its valuation grew 80% since the March 2024 round and that it works with 24 of the Fortune 100; it has been named a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for CPS protection platforms. It set up a separate Claroty Public Sector LLC to pursue U.S. government business, and its newsroom links to 2026 press coverage of a possible IPO.

Claroty shows how strategic corporate investors can shape a security company's distribution. Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Bosch and Chevron are both investors and channels to industrial customers. Bessemer has backed the company from its 2016 debut through the 2021 rounds, about a decade without a liquidity event, and the later rounds shifted toward growth equity and structured capital rather than traditional venture.
