Aussies heading to Israel Cyber Week
Israel Cyber Week is a premier global conference that brings together more than 10,000 attendees from over 80 countries
Eighteen cybersecurity professionals from Australia and New Zealand are heading off to Tel Aviv for Israel Cyber Week.
Israel Cyber Week, a premier global conference that brings together more than 10,000 attendees from over 80 countries, providing a platform to showcase the latest advancements in the rapidly-evolving field of cybersecurity, takes place from June 26 to June 29, 2023, in Tel Aviv.
Distinguished speakers at the event will include Gaby Portnoy, Director General of the Israel National Cyber Directorate; Ivan Bartos, Deputy Prime Minister for Digitlisation of the Czech Republic; Craig Jones, Cybercrime Director at INTERPOL; and Iftah Gideoni, Former CTO of Forter, currently residing in Australia.
The Australia/New Zealand business delegation has been organised by the Israel Trade and Economic Commission in Sydney in partnership with the Trans-Tasman Business Circle.
Last year, the Australian and New Zealand Delegation to Israel Cyber Week made history as the first-ever in-person delegation from the region. This year, the delegation aims to build upon that achievement and foster deeper collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The Australian Ambassador to Israel, Ralph King, will address the delegation, providing valuable insights and strengthening ties between the two nations.
Additionally, the delegation will visit Lumir Ventures, Josh Liberman’s Israel investment Fund in Melbourne, and prominent Israeli cybersecurity companies such as Checkpoint, Orca, Sentra, and Sygnia. These visits are designed to excite the delegates about the dynamic Israeli tech scene and its potential for future partnerships.
The itinerary includes a visit to Beer Sheva following a tour of the Anzac Museum and Cemetery. The delegates will also have the opportunity to explore the cultural and historical wonders of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and Masada.
Jeremy Ungar, who is responsible for cybersecurity at the Israel Trade and Economic Commission, expressed his enthusiasm for Israel Cyber Week.
“Israel Cyber Week has firmly established itself as a must-attend event on our annual calendar. With Australia now being the most-hacked country in the world, it is crucial for business leaders from all industries to understand the cybersecurity ecosystem and find better ways to protect their companies,” he said.
“Israel Cyber Week offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from the best in the field. This delegation not only showcases the expertise of our region but also provides a unique learning experience to explore the finest aspects of Israeli technology.”
The Israel Trade and Economic Commission promotes trade and investment opportunities between Israel and international markets. The Trans-Tasman Business Circle is an influential and collaborative organisation that facilitates connections and knowledge sharing between Australian and New Zealand business leaders.
