Armis founders Nadir Izrael-and Yevgeny Dibrov Source PR
Armis, an Israeli cyber exposure management and security company and a unicorn, just hit a $4.2 billion valuation. The new valuation came after the firm raised $200 million in a Series D round of investment led by top-tier investors General Catalyst and Alkeon Capital, along with existing investors Brookfield Technology Partners and Georgian.
This new round of funding comes after Armis recently announced it had surpassed the $200 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) mark, growing ARR by an additional $100 million in less than 18 months. The firm is targeting a future IPO and said it is building a multi-generational company.
Armis was founded in 2015 by Yevgeny Dibrov, Nadir Izrael and Tomer Schwartz (who is no longer in the company). Dibrov and Izrael met during their military service, although they served in separate units – both graduates of Unit 81 (The Technological Unit of the Intelligence) and cybersecurity elite 8200.
