In November 2003, Deloitte & Touche named Allot the fourth-fastest growing company on its Israel Technology Fast 50 list. This ranking represented revenue growth of nearly 1,900% in a year's time.

By 2004 Allot raised $38 million, in several rounds of funding, from several venture capital funds, including: Genesis Partners, Gemini, Walden Israel, JAFCO Investment, BancBoston Capital, Jerusalem Venture Partners, and Tamar Technology Ventures.

In 2008, Rami Hadar appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, and the company began trading publicly on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol ALLT, following an IPO that raised $78 million.

In 2011 it was revealed that Allot equipment had illegally been sold to Iran. However, in January 2012 Allot was cleared by the Ministry of Defense of any wrongdoing.

In 2011 Allot settled a class-action lawsuit regarding securities fraud involving its stock whereby it agreed to pay $1.3 million (USD).
