📅Kicking off our first !

To launch this new series, we are starting with Yaron Cohen, product enablement professional, author of Signal to Product newsletter, and co-founder of the MTL-IL Tech community in Montreal. Yaron published a retrospective from in his substack, Signal to Product.

Here are a few takeaways that stood out. We strongly encourage reading the full article: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dmMaqAYM

👀 Cyber defense never offers full protection. Readiness, response, and intelligence capabilities are just as essential as preventive measures.

🚨 The supply chain remains a critical attack surface, including final products, creating a need for new models of monitoring and certification.

🪖 Future conflicts are increasingly likely to begin with cyber operations, requiring a shift in how intelligence and preparedness are approached.

🚀Thank you for an exceptional !

Four days of briefings, panels, live simulations, and technical tracks brought together leaders from government, industry, intelligence, startups, and academia to tackle the real issues shaping cybersecurity today. Across every session, the message was clear: threats are evolving fast, and resilience depends on collaboration, trusted partnerships, and technology that scales with the challenge.

This year’s programming stretched from high-level strategy and national resilience to hands-on technical tracks, red-team simulations, and live cyber crisis exercises. Across every hall and every panel, one theme echoed: cybersecurity has become a shared global responsibility, and the communities that learn fastest, and collaborate deepest, will define the future.

To every speaker, partner, sponsor, exhibitor, volunteer, and attendee:
Thank you for the expertise and momentum you brought to the week. Your insights are what make one of the world’s most influential platforms for cyber policy, research, and innovation.

We’re already preparing an even stronger program for next year.

“Israel is incredible but let's make more room for success”...

What the Experts See on the Horizon for Cybersecurity 🧭⚙️

Ofer Ben-Noon, SASE CTO at Palo Alto Networks; Merav Bahat, Co-founder and CEO of Dazz (now Wiz); and Tomer Gershoni, Head of Cyber Security and Trusted AI at PwC Israel, joined Idan Tendler for a forward-looking discussion on how the cyber ecosystem can adapt to rapid AI-driven change.

As part of this year’s program, the speakers examined how accelerating innovation, expanding attack surfaces, and rising global competition are reshaping what the next phase of cybersecurity will demand.

They emphasized the need to strengthen national digital infrastructure, advance AI-governance frameworks, and deepen collaboration among industry, government, and research.

The conversation pointed to a clear takeaway: as AI becomes central to the cyber domain, organizations will need to build for resilience, scale, and continuous adaptation.
