Israeli cybersecurity Armis Raises $435 Million at $6.1B Valuation - Positioning for IPO

Armis, the Israeli cybersecurity firm specializing in asset security and threat detection, has raised $435 million in a new funding round that values the company at $6.1 billion — an increase of more than 45% in just over a year.
The round was led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s alternative investments division, with participation from CapitalG, Google’s investment arm and a long-time backer.

The raise comes against the backdrop of rising global demand for cybersecurity solutions amid increasing attacks on critical infrastructure, private corporations, and government systems. Cyberattacks this year alone have resulted in billions of dollars in financial losses and major data breaches across multiple sectors.

Founded in 2016 by Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, Armis employs roughly 850 workers worldwide, with staff concentrated in Israel and the United States. Dibrov, the company’s CEO, previously held positions in the technology and semiconductor industry, including at Nvidia.

Product and Market

Armis provides real-time monitoring and security for connected devices across corporate and industrial environments — including computers, IoT devices, operational technology systems, medical devices, cloud services, and mobile assets.
Its platform maps and monitors every digital asset within an organization and automatically flags threats or suspicious behavior before breaches escalate.

The customer base includes over 40% of Fortune 100 companies, U.S. federal agencies, major retail chains, and leading financial institutions. Clients include United Airlines, Colgate-Palmolive, and Mondelez International.

Financial Growth and Strategy

Armis recently surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), adding about $100 million within the past year. Part of its expansion has come through acquisitions, including the Israeli startups Silk Security and OTORIO.

Market analysts view the latest round as a pre-IPO stage, and Goldman Sachs’ involvement is seen as a signal that the company is preparing for a future listing.
Banks typically look for companies with $300M+ ARR and a stable growth trajectory ahead of a public offering — conditions Armis now meets.

Positioning

Armis is now considered one of the largest private cybersecurity companies in the world, alongside Israeli firms such as Wiz, Cye, and Island.
The latest round strengthens its positioning as a potential independent global brand, rather than an acquisition target.

With demand for advanced security platforms continuing to rise, the key question for Armis is not whether it will go public — but when.
