Indegy (Indegy Ltd) was an Israeli cyber-security company based in Tel Aviv that protected industrial control systems, such as the SCADA systems used in water and power plants and pipelines, against cyber-attack.[1] It was founded in 2014 by Barak Perelman, Mille Gandelsman and Ido Trivizki, whom Techtime described as "all graduates of the IDF's prestigious cyber unit 8200" (Unit 8200).[1] The US company Tenable bought it in December 2019 for about $78 million in cash.[2]
History
In July 2016 Indegy raised $12 million in a round led by Vertex Ventures Israel, the Silicon Valley firm Aspect Ventures and Japan's SBI Holdings, with its earlier investors Shlomo Kramer and Magma Venture Partners, bringing its total funding to about $18 million.[1] By 2019 it had raised $36 million, from investors including Liberty Technology Venture Capital, Shlomo Kramer, Centrica and Magma Venture Partners, according to Ctech.[3] Ctech said its technology was used by manufacturing, pharmaceutical, energy and water companies.[3]
On 2 December 2019 Tenable's subsidiary Tenable, Inc. agreed to buy all of Indegy's shares for "approximately $78 million in cash", according to Tenable's filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.[2][4] Ctech reported that Tenable would set up a development centre in Israel after the deal.[3] Perelman became Tenable's vice-president for OT security.[5]
Founders and military service
