NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Claroty, the
cybersecurity company for cyber-physical systems (CPS) across
industrial, healthcare, and enterprise environments, today
announced Rockwell Automation, the world's largest company
dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, as a
co-lead investor in its $400M Series
E funding round.
"As a longstanding investor, partner, and customer of Claroty,
we've known for years that the company has a best-in-class platform
for protecting industrial and critical infrastructure environments
from cyber attacks," said Blake
Moret, Chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation. "We have
more than 300 sites installed globally with Claroty today, and
co-leading this funding round represents our strengthened
commitment to serving our industrial customers."
The Series E round, coupled with Claroty's intent to acquire
Medigate, a leading healthcare IoT security company, marks the next
step in the company's mission to secure all CPS across industrial,
healthcare, and enterprise environments – the Extended Internet of
Things (XIoT).
"Connectivity between the cyber and physical systems that
support our lives is paving the way for significant advancements in
operational agility and resilience, but with greater connectivity
comes greater exposure to risks," said Yaniv Vardi, CEO of Claroty. "By acquiring
Medigate, we are now uniquely positioned to secure the XIoT – from
traditional OT devices such as PLCs and HMIs, to medical devices
such as MRI machines, to enterprise IoT devices such as smart
security cameras and temperature sensors. On top of this, with
Rockwell's backing, our strategic partnership is poised to expand
significantly in both breadth and depth, delivering greater value
to all of our joint customers today and in the future."
The round brings the company's total funding to $635 million, making it the most well-funded
cybersecurity company in the industrial (OT), healthcare (IoMT),
and enterprise IoT sectors.* The other co-lead investors of the
round are SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Bessemer Venture Partners,
Schneider Electric, and Standard Investments.
