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.

The concern over Israel's potential international isolation was a prominent topic at the defense technology (defense-tech) session held yesterday at the Technovation Conference by TheMarker and the Technion. Einat Weidberg, a partner at Shibolet, who participated in the panel, shared: "In the past few weeks, senior law firms in France have approached us to identify defense companies which may be interested to be represented in French courts and fight the decision to block Israeli access to the weapons conference in Paris”. Despite the fear of isolation, we are seeing today a tremendous increase in demand for security products, including from Israel. Einat mentioned that the previous major hype in the defense tech sector was the homeland security trend following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "The challenge of stratups in the defense field is to raise funds through their early stage and reach the growth stage, where they will become candidates for investments by large international VCs and private equity funds. If the Israeli echosystem will not be ready to invest in the defense tech start ups in their early stages, it will be very difficult for such companies to reach the growth stages, and their chances will decrease”.
