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

For Israeli economy, no substitute for high-tech dominance. The high-tech sector's contribution rate to the country's GDP of 20% is significantly greater than that of the USA at 9% and Russia's dependence on gas and oil at 16%, according to a report by the Israel Innovation Authority. However, the diversity of the working population in the high-tech sector remains low, with 65% being non-ultra-Orthodox Jewish men.

In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.

I was recently included in the list of the 1,000 most active angel investors in Israel https://lnkd.in/erPY8utD (I invest in Israel, the US, and Europe) The authors (Joey Faur and Oz Hassine from Flashpoint Venture Capital) gave some great tips on reaching out to angel investors. Since the article is in Hebrew, I am providing the translation below for your convenience. ''When crafting your pitch, keep the message short and focused, and make sure to include several key elements: 1. Opening: Briefly introduce yourself and your startup. 2. Value Proposition: Highlight what sets your startup apart and why it’s an excellent investment opportunity. 3. Achievements: Emphasize significant accomplishments, such as winning competitions or participating in accelerators. 4. Meeting Request: Clearly state your intention to discuss a potential investment. 5. Attachments: Include relevant materials, like an investor pitch deck, but avoid overloading with unnecessary information. 6. It's important to maintain conciseness—a message that’s too long won’t get read. When an angel investor shows interest, you need to be fully prepared for the meeting. Have a deep understanding of all the details related to your idea—financial data, forecasts, key performance indicators, competitors, and anticipated challenges. Your pitch should focus on the investor’s areas of interest and address potential questions even before the angel asks them. Even if you don’t secure an immediate investment, continue to nurture the relationship with the angel investor you met. Regular updates on your startup’s progress can keep the door open for future investment opportunities. Avoid Common Mistakes Now, let’s discuss two common mistakes you should avoid: 1. Failing to Do Research: Research investors before reaching out to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings. 2. Understanding Angel Risks: Acknowledge the risks angels face, such as dilution of equity and later-stage investments. Showing angels that you understand their perspective can increase their trust in your ability to make good use of their money.'' ---- Interested in investing in VCs & startups? let's connect.

Great accomplishment to our cyber ecosystem, Eleven Israeli startups are featured in the Rising in Cyber list, which highlights the most promising cyber companies in the U.S. https://risingincyber.com/ The project was organized by the global venture capital fund Notable Capital, in cooperation with the NewYork Stock Exchange, Fenwick, and HSBC Innovation Banking. The list includes: Gomboc.ai , Oligo Security , and Wing Security among the 10 early-stage companies; Astrix Security, Descope , and Grip Security at the mid-stage; and Cyera , Drata , Island , Orca Security , and Wiz at the growth stage. The Rising in Cyber survey of more than 100 security leaders revealed three innovation drivers needed by security teams to adapt to a growing footprint of technologies, the rise of AI, and the evolving sophistication of cyber criminals. These themes provide a glimpse into the future buying patterns of CISOs. 1. Identity and Access Management The rise of non-human actors and identity-centric, malware-free attacks, which accounted for 75% of incidents in 2023, highlights the urgent need for robust identity and access management (IAM) solutions. Startups are stepping up with next-generation Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), new authentication platforms, and privileged access management tools. 2. Cloud Security With the transition to multi-cloud architectures, traditional security tools remain inadequate for cloud environments. Innovations in cloud detection and response, data security, automation, risk management, and AI threat detection are becoming essential. 3. Application and Code Security The widespread use of open-source code introduces new vulnerabilities, while AI supercharges product security teams. Startups enabling collaboration between developers and security teams are leading the way, with AI improving code remediation and testing.

Our local cybersecurity ecosystem holds a considerable share of the worldwide cybersecurity market and is often ranked high on global innovation indices for its cybersecurity capabilities. Startup Nation Central recently published a report highlighting the impact the Israeli cybersecurity market has on the global stage. As of the publishing of the report, there were over 450 cybersecurity startups in Israel, with Israeli cyber exits accounting for 51% of the industry’s total transaction value of $7.5 billion. CISOs, I want to bring your attention to a recent Google Cloud blog by Phil Venables, VP, TI Security & CISO, Google Cloud, where he shares 3 promising AI use cases for cybersecurity. He explains that AI has the potential to dramatically change cybersecurity and benefit defenders in the long run. At Google Cloud, we believe that AI can help defenders move faster by automating tasks that, until now, have required laborious toil from security experts. While we haven’t reached the goal of full automation, there are already several promising use cases for AI in cybersecurity that are delivering assistive capabilities: ✔️AI for malware analysis ✔️AI to boost SecOps teams ✔️AI to scale security solutions I encourage you to read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/dcpsyeRF #Google #GoogleCloud #CloudForIsrael #Cybersecurity #AI #Automation #CISOs

Israeli Tech Exits: 25 years of Audacity and Innovation From Mobileye’s $15.3B Intel Corporation deal to Own Company’s recent $1.9B Salesforce acquisition, Israel’s tech scene has been rewriting the rules for a quarter century. Think about it: • Mobileye: From Jerusalem startup to driving the future of autonomous vehicles. • Mellanox Technologies: Powering supercomputers to supercharging Nvidia’s $3T valuation. • NDS Group: Securing pay-TV’s future while we were still figuring out smart TVs. • Chromatis Networks: Surfing the dot-com wave like pros with a $4.5B exit. But it’s not just about the billions. It’s about the audacity of vision: • Founders disrupting industries while most were cramming for exams. • Scaling from garage startups to global powerhouses. • Turning down billion-dollar offers? That’s not crazy, that’s conviction. From autonomous vehicles to AI chips, Israeli founders aren’t just participating in the tech race - they’re leading it. And here’s the kicker: This is just the beginning. The next Mobileye is probably being cooked up in a Tel Aviv apartment right now. IsraelTech isn’t just exiting - it’s entering the future, guns blazing. The next 25 years? They’re going to be wild. Credit: CTech by Calcalist #startup #venturecapital #technology
