The company continues to grow rapidly and closes a new funding round.
Armis, SAN FRANCISCO, October 28, 2024: Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, announced today the close of a $200 million Series D round of investment, increasing its total company valuation to a new high of $4.2 billion. Armis’ latest funding round was led by both top-tier investors General Catalyst and Alkeon Capital, along with existing investors Brookfield Growth and Georgian. The additional capital will enable Armis to continue with its 5-year strategy to build a multi-generational cybersecurity company, fuel strong organic product innovation, and global go-to-market programs while simultaneously taking advantage of game-changing inorganic growth opportunities that may arise.
Armis’ ability to offer unmatched visibility, security, and risk management to enterprises across all industries has made it a standout leader in the fast-evolving cybersecurity landscape. As the trusted cybersecurity partner of the world’s largest organizations, including United Airlines, Colgate-Palmolive, Mondelez, Reckitt, and more, Armis’ innovative platform, Armis Centrix™, enables companies to see, secure, and manage their most critical assets in real time—from IT, OT, and medical devices to cloud, code, and software assets.
This new round of funding comes after Armis recently announced it had surpassed the 200 USD million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) mark, growing ARR by an additional 100mn USD in less than 18 months. The company is targeting a future IPO and building a multigenerational company, with the next major milestone being reaching the $500M ARR milestone along the journey to $1 billion ARR and beyond.

Their investment and belief in Armis’ future reflect the strength of our platform and the market need for a comprehensive cyber exposure management platform—from asset management and cyberphysical systems security to remediation of vulnerabilities and issues from IT to the cloud and the CI/CD pipeline. We remain confident that this is just the beginning for Armis, and we look forward to delivering on our vision of a safer digital world.”
Jonathan Carr, CFO of Armis, highlighted the company’s focus on growth and firm commitment to Armis customers: “We are excited about the addition of General Catalyst and Alkeon Capital to our amazing investors and strategic partners. Armis’ history of rapid and global scaling highlights the growing need for organizations to drive toward an asset-centric approach to cybersecurity.
