Access management is far more than a technical task—it’s critical for preventing real-world threats. In my latest analysis for ITtime by Geektime, I break down how expired access permissions nearly led to a disaster and why even QR codes can become security risks. #Cybersecurity #AccessManagement #ITSecurity #TechInsights

Google is getting close to a record $23 billion deal to acquire Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz. According to the story, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is reportedly in "advanced talks" to acquire Wiz, a company based in #NewYork. This would be the largest #acquisition of an Israeli tech company and double Alphabet's largest acquisition to yet, which was the $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola in 2012. The publication pointed out that the possible transaction would occur at a time when startups have been leery of mergers and acquisitions because of fears of antitrust monitoring, and that Google is looking to strengthen its cloud computing company, for which Wiz supplies cybersecurity. Assaf Rappaport, Yinon C., Ami Luttwak, and Roy R.-launched Wiz in early 2020. This same team founded Adallom, which Microsoft acquired in 2015 for $320 million. They oversaw the Cloud Security Group for Microsoft Azure as well. Forty percent of the Fortune 100 firms, including Slack, Mars, BMW, DocuSign, Plaid, and Agoda, are among its clientele.

Israeli Solution That Ensures Security of AI Copilot Raises $38 Million ZENITY, an Israeli startup which specializes in AI-based cybersecurity, raised $38 million in a Series B funding round led by Daniel Loeb's Third Point Ventures and DTCP. In total, Zenity raised $55 million. The new funding will accelerate development of the Zenity' product, and support Zenity’s expansion in North America. Zenity’s product protects AI copilots from cyber threats, as with the increased use of AI copilot by business users, attackers can exploit these applications by injecting malicious commands, poisoning data, and embedding hidden instructions into AI systems. The product is potentially interesting for financial organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare systems. Ben Kliger, CEO, and Michael Bargury, CTO, founded Zenity in 2021. It now employs 52 people, 32 of whom are in Israel. Source: https://lnkd.in/d7Mskk4j

CASE STORY - PART II ------- We are on with the second part of story about our implementation to Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. This time it's more detailed, and tells about how we moved this medical center from 6 systems to one. All-in-one is one of the basic concepts of our software. We really thing, that using multiple solutions (sometimes over 30) only make your clinic way less efficient. If you have a software mess in your medical center or chain of clinics - that one is for you 😊 https://lnkd.in/eQM-tNK8

Discover invaluable insights from Cybersecurity entrepreneur/investor, Zohar Alon, on the remarkable growth of Israeli startups during the first half of 2024. “As Israel fights on all fronts, its startups are experiencing a positive period, where the cyber-security sector, which I focus on as an investor and an active board member, is topping the charts, in both exits and funding rounds. We saw our first $1B up round (Wiz), followed by a $1.5B acquisition (Venafi by CyberArk), Wiz made its first 9-digit acquisition (Gem for $300M) and, the under three years old toddler, Avalor Security, a Zscaler Company, was acquired by Zscaler for $315M.” Our H1 2024 Report delivers the data and insights you need to stay up to date with the Israeli tech industry.

Since October 7, Israeli tech companies have really stepped up in some impressive ways, demonstrating resilience and innovation in the face of adversity. Today we decided to share some impactful initiatives: * Cybersecurity Boost With everyone on high alert, companies like Check Point Software Point and CyberArk have offered free trials of their cybersecurity tools to help protect important systems. They've been working hand in hand with the police to tighten up national security. * Mental Health Support Understanding the emotional toll, platforms like Myndlift and Telesofia Medical have expanded their telehealth services. They’re making online therapy more accessible so that anyone can find the mental health support they need during this tough time. * Aid and Relief Apps Startups have created apps that connect volunteers with local organizations that need help. Companies like Wix and Fiverr are making it super easy for people to pitch in and lend a hand. * Backing Local Businesses Apps like Buy Local have been developed to help consumers discover and support nearby shops, fostering a sense of community resilience. Venture capital firms and fintech companies established funds to provide low-interest loans and financial guidance to struggling businesses. OurCrowd launched initiatives to help local entrepreneurs secure funding more easily. * Community Building Networking groups are gathering to share resources and brainstorm recovery strategies. Organizations like Startup Nation Central and TechAviv are creating spaces for people to come together and discuss how to support one another. As we approach one year, the Israeli tech scene continues to come together to support each other and their communities. It’s amazing to see how they’re using their skills and resources to make a difference during such challenging times! #bringthemhome
