Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd has signed an initiative with leading Israeli cyber solutions partners to establish an Israeli Operational Technologies Cyber Consortium. The initiative is in cooperation with the Israel National Cyber Directorate and the company made the announcement at GISEC Global 2021 Cyber Security Expo in Dubai. The new consortium will provide end-to-end, cyber Operational Technology (OT) solutions, working with market-leading Israeli cyber OT partners with complementary areas of expertise, to address technological-cyber OT needs of large-scale organisations.

The consortium’s comprehensive cyber defence solutions will address the national-level critical services and infrastructures needs to provide defence against cyber warfare malicious activities by state actors, as well as independent rogue hackers, to protect assets such as:

  • Transportation
  • Oil and Gas
  • Manufacturing
  • Water and Sewage
  • Energy Infrastructure

The Cyber OT consortium will include:

  • Rafael
  • IEC
  • Tashan
  • Waterfall Security
  • Trapx
  • MobileGroup
  • Radiflow
  • CyberPro
  • XMCyber
  • Cervello
  • Cynerio

Combining technological and methodological cyber OT solutions from leading Israeli companies – large, medium and small – will allow the consortium to offer a comprehensive and integrated battle-proven solution, both for the technological and methodological aspects of the challenge. The partner-companies were carefully selected, following a lengthy assessment of their experience, track record, added value and technological advantages.
