Note from the authorServiceNow isn’t just one of the most influential enterprise platforms in the world, it’s also a major force in cybersecurity.
This partnership is a strong signal of where things are going. As agentic development becomes the norm, security can't be an afterthought. It has to be embedded into architecture, context, and design - so both humans and AI agents build securely by design.
We’re thrilled to be partnering with ServiceNow and to push this vision forward together.

After acquiring three companies in Israel, American software giant ServiceNow is also investing directly in Israeli startups. Calcalist has learned that ServiceNow has invested in Israeli cybersecurity company Clover Security, in a deal estimated to be worth several million dollars.
As part of the investment, ServiceNow is expected to integrate Clover’s technology into its own suite of enterprise solutions and will also become a customer of the company.
Clover was founded in 2023 by Alon Kollmann (CEO) and Or Chen (CPO). The two met in 2022, when Kollmann was pursuing an MBA in France and Chen was completing his tenure at Checkmarx, which had acquired Chen’s previous startup.
Clover integrates AI agents into everyday developer tools such as Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Cursor, and Slack, enabling teams to identify design flaws early and build securely from the outset. Its AI agents replicate the mindset of experienced security professionals, understanding system behavior, predicting where vulnerabilities may emerge, and applying security principles before development begins. As a result, security teams are relieved of repetitive work, and developers receive real-time security guidance inside their existing workflows.
In November, Clover raised $36 million in a funding round led by Notable Capital and Team8. Since then, the company has expanded its operations, signed additional customer agreements, and reached a revenue run rate of more than $1 million per quarter. Clover currently employs around 50 people, most of them based in Israel, with the remainder in the United States.
ServiceNow has been steadily expanding its presence in cybersecurity in recent years, positioning the sector as a key growth engine. The company has previously invested in Snyk and recently acquired Armis for approximately $7.75 billion. It also announced acquisitions of Israeli AI and data companies Pyramid Analytics and Traceloop.
The partnership with ServiceNow is expected to significantly expand Clover’s market reach, giving it access to thousands of enterprise customers worldwide through ServiceNow’s platform.
“ServiceNow is one of the most influential enterprise software platforms in the world,” said Kollmann. “The decision to invest in us and partner with us reflects how the market is evolving. As AI-driven development accelerates, security must be embedded directly into the software creation process, not added later. For us, this is another step toward making this approach the standard in global organizations.”
