Indegy
Indegy was an Israeli industrial cybersecurity startup that developed an OT/ICS security platform providing comprehensive visibility, threat detection, and vulnerability management for industrial control systems and operational technology environments.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Indegy built an industrial cybersecurity platform that provided deep visibility into operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) environments, including SCADA, PLCs, and DCS systems. The platform combined passive network monitoring with proprietary active querying technology to discover and inventory all industrial assets, detect configuration changes, identify vulnerabilities, and monitor for threats—without disrupting critical industrial processes.
Commercially, Indegy competed in the OT/ICS security market alongside Claroty, Nozomi Networks, Dragos, and CyberX (acquired by Microsoft). Founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv by Barak Perelman (CEO, former IDF cyber operations officer), Mille Gandelsman (CTO), and Ido Trivizki (VP R&D), the company raised $24M from investors including Vertex Ventures Israel, SCADAfence co-investor Shlomo Kramer, and Aspect Ventures. In 2019, Tenable acquired Indegy for approximately $78M, integrating its OT/ICS capabilities into Tenable's vulnerability management platform.
From a defense and national security perspective, ICS/OT security is directly critical to protecting military infrastructure, defense manufacturing facilities, energy grids, water systems, and other critical infrastructure that relies on industrial control systems. The ability to monitor and protect SCADA/PLC/DCS environments from cyber threats is a core defense requirement as adversaries increasingly target critical infrastructure.
Dual-Use Assessment
ICS/OT security directly protects military installations, defense manufacturing, and critical national infrastructure (energy, water, transport) that relies on industrial control systems. Asset discovery and threat detection for SCADA/PLC environments are core defense cybersecurity requirements.
Key Technologies
- Passive network monitoring for OT/ICS traffic analysis
- Active querying technology for deep PLC/controller interrogation
- Industrial asset discovery and inventory management
- ICS vulnerability assessment and configuration change detection
- SCADA/DCS/PLC threat detection and anomaly monitoring
- OT network segmentation validation and policy enforcement
Use Cases & Applications
- Industrial control system asset discovery and visibility
- OT network threat detection and anomaly monitoring
- ICS vulnerability management and configuration auditing
- SCADA/PLC firmware integrity monitoring
- Defense facility ICS/OT cybersecurity (dual-use)
- Critical infrastructure protection for military installations (dual-use)
Strategic Value to U.S.-Israel Alliance
Critical infrastructure protection is a top national security priority. ICS/OT visibility and threat detection for SCADA/PLC systems is essential for protecting defense facilities, energy grids, and military manufacturing environments.
