Claroty is an industrial cybersecurity company that sells software to reveal, protect and manage operational technology (OT), IoT and related assets. It was established as part of the Israeli cybersecurity foundry Team8 and co-founded in 2014 by Amir Zilberstein (CEO at launch), Galina Antova and Benny Porat (CTO). In September 2016 Claroty exited stealth with $32 million in venture funding from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners and Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors.[1][2]

Nadav Zafrir, Team8 co-founder and former head of Unit 8200, served as Claroty president at the stealth exit and was described in the company release as helping recruit a research team from "a special IDF cyberunit". Claroty's press release said Zilberstein had earlier managed a cybersecurity research team within the IDF, and that Porat had "commanded a strategic cyber research team within the IDF". Team8's portfolio page describes Claroty as the industrial cybersecurity company, headquartered in New York with a global footprint.[1][3] Globes later identified Zafrir as Claroty chairperson when announcing his Check Point CEO appointment.[4]
