The problem
Security teams juggle separate endpoint, cloud and identity consoles while ransomware encrypts drives in minutes. Human-led triage arrives hours late, and every silo adds alerts without adding answers.
How it works
An occupier-company founded in 2013 by Tomer Weingarten, Almog Cohen and Ehud Shamir — headquartered in Mountain View with offices including Tel Aviv (Occupied Palestine), selling to global enterprises — not a Palestinian company. A lightweight agent on each endpoint and cloud workload streams behavioural telemetry to the Singularity platform, where patented machine-learning models score processes, kill malicious ones automatically, roll back ransomware damage, and group every related event into one queryable storyline. Agentic-AI workflows now draft investigations so analysts approve rather than assemble responses.
Pain points
Alert fatigue across siloed tools, manual triage slower than machine-speed attacks, ransomware recovery measured in days, and cloud estates with inconsistent coverage.
Business model
Recurring per-endpoint, per-workload SaaS subscriptions, with growth from platform modules — cloud workload protection, identity threat detection and AI investigation — and steady upmarket expansion into larger enterprise deals.
Challenges
Holding 20%+ growth against CrowdStrike and vendors bundling security into wider platforms, turning non-GAAP operating profitability into GAAP profits after years of losses, and convincing cost-pressed CISOs that autonomous features justify premium seats.
Funding
- Raised: $1.2 billion in its 30 June 2021 NYSE initial public offering; no venture rounds since listing — growth is funded from the balance sheet ($769.6 million in cash and investments at January 2026).
- Valuation: none disclosed on a citable basis.
