Israel’s cybersecurity industry has moved from Check Point’s firewall in the 1990s, through Wiz and the cloud-security generation, to today’s AI-native wave of identity, data and AI-agent defense. Google closed its $32 billion purchase of Wiz on March 11, 2026, and Israeli cyber companies raised about $4.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026, according to preliminary IVC-LeumiTech data. This infographic, updated October 2026, collects the year’s biggest acquisitions, every funding round we tracked (83 rounds at 74 Israeli cyber companies, $5.9 billion disclosed by October 28, based on Israel Rounds data and company announcements) and the latest news. For newly funded startups and established vendors alike, the next challenge is going to market as fast as they innovate, and that is the work IOD does for cybersecurity brands.
