“The past year has brought unprecedented geopolitical, macroeconomic, and regulatory changes that have created new trends and challenges for those charged with protecting the world’s critical infrastructure,” said Yaniv Vardi, CEO of Claroty. “With our deep domain expertise, unmatched technological capabilities in our comprehensive platform, and extensive partner ecosystem, Claroty is uniquely equipped to help CPS defenders navigate these changes. This new investment reinforces our leadership position in the CPS security market and propels us forward on our journey to ensure the cyber and physical worlds can safely connect to drive progress, improve productivity, and support our lives.”
