A report released by IVC Research Center in advance of this year’s annual Cybertech 2016, highlights how a tight interplay between industry, investors, and the government has turned Israel into a center of cybersecurity technology. “Indeed, it is second only to the United States, according to Gadi Tirosh, managing partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners, which has been one of the country’s most active investors in cybersecurity” reports David Shamah in the Times of Israel.

In 2015, 78 Israeli cyber companies raised $540 million in capital, an increase of 20% compared to 2014. Since 2011, more than 230 local and foreign investors have invested in over 165 Israeli cyber technology startups.
