Insight Partners in April participated in a $65 million funding round for Armis that brought the company's total funding to $112 million. That round was led by Sequoia Capital.
Armis says its enterprise security platform protects Internet of Things (IoT) devices — like medical infusion pumps or those used in production lines at car manufacturers — from attacks by identifying suspicious or malicious devices and quarantining them.
Insight, a venture capital and private equity firm, opened its Tel Aviv office in October.
Israeli financial news website Calcalist reported that the two firms were in deal talks, earlier on Monday.
