Watch a preview of our exclusive interview with Nadir Izrael, Co-Founder and CTO of Armis.
Armis just reached a major #milestone, surpassing $300M in #ARR. But this time, we’re going back to the beginning.
We started with the #pivotal moment after crossing $1M in revenue. Despite early #success, a conversation with Gili Raanan pushed them to answer the key question: What are our #customers really #buying, and what are we actually selling?
From there, we touched on one of the key #engineering challenges Nadir faced as a CTO while building a multifaceted #platform, and their M&A approach, weighing #integration versus selling separately. #Silk, as a standout example, grew 4,000% within just 9 months of acquisition.
And of course, we couldn’t skip over #AI. We discussed Armis’ perspective on defending against AI-powered #cyberattacks, what’s real versus hype in the AI #agents debate, and where the industry is truly heading.
Finally, the golden question for every startup: When should you #launch your product? You guess it right, #Yesterday!
