Allot

Allot is an Israeli publicly traded networking and cybersecurity company headquartered in Hod HaSharon. It is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ALLT and is also traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The company was founded in 1996.

Allot's primary business is deep packet inspection (DPI)-based traffic management and network security. Its technology is sold predominantly to telecommunications operators and service providers, enabling them to analyze, manage, and monetize subscriber traffic, as well as to deliver security services directly to end users over the network. The buyer is typically network operations and product teams at mobile and fixed-line carriers. Allot operates a carrier-grade, network-embedded model rather than an endpoint or enterprise firewall model.

Allot's main product lines span two broad areas. The first is traffic management and policy enforcement, built on DPI technology that carriers embed into their core network infrastructure to shape and prioritize traffic. The second is network-based security-as-a-service, marketed under the Allot Secure brand, which allows telecom operators to offer subscribers anti-malware, parental controls, and threat protection without requiring any software installation on the device. This service-provider-delivered security model has been a strategic growth focus for the company.

Allot competes in the carrier DPI and network security space against vendors such as Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent), Sandvine, and Ericsson in traffic management, and against a broader set of endpoint and cloud security vendors in the security-as-a-service segment. The company's differentiation lies in its operator-embedded delivery model, which positions security as a value-added service on the telecom bill rather than a standalone consumer product.

Allot's headquarters and primary R&D operations are in Hod HaSharon. The company's core engineering and product teams are Israel-based, consistent with the broader Israeli telecom-tech and cyber sector. Allot has historically recruited from the Israeli networking and security talent pool.
