Cyber security start-up Claroty in Israel said that they raised $32 millions from funding and now they will no longer operate in a secrecy mode after operating in for the past two years.
The company's financial partners include Bessemer Venture Partners, Innovation Endeavors- run by Google chairman Eric Schmidt - Marker, ICV, Red Dot Capital Partners and Mitsui & Co.
Claroty was co-founded by Nadav Zafrir, a former head of the Israeli military's intelligence unit 8200 in 2014. Their main focus is on the protection of the operational technology network in securing critical infrastructure at industrial control systems such as power grids, steel mills and oil refineries.
"The reason these critical systems are increasingly exposed to cyber threats is twofold: Industrial and IT networks are becoming considerably more interconnected in order to achieve important business goals, but industrial control systems were originally designed with safety and resilience, not cyber-security, as primary objectives," said Amir Zilberstein, Claroty's CEO.
