1. Cyber Defense
“Security Aces: The Israeli startup that’s taking Europe by storm,” by Daniel Gal, Israel Hayom, June 7, 2023:
Israel’s startup scene is constantly moving forward and crossing new borders where innovative and revolutionary developments are concerned, with one of the country’s prominent strengths being the security field. The world has always looked to Israel for groundbreaking defense and security solutions, with the main emphasis being on cyber defense developments.
One of the newest and most promising players in cyber defense is startup company GlobeKeeper. The company, founded in 2016, aims to deal with one of the most complicated challenges in the world of secure communications – the older generation of communication systems, which are not protected from cyberattacks – and has developed an advanced multichannel communications app for security entities, specialized to meet their needs and offering maximum security.
The Israeli success story of young entrepreneurs Dan Peleg and Shai Slobodov begins with their first acquaintance, at the IDF’s elite Unit 81. “I came from Moshav Shilat and my partner Shai came from Lehavim. We’re two moshavniks who enlisted to the Intelligence Corps with no background or financial backing, we met there and today we’re marketing the system we’ve developed ourselves to Europe’s largest law enforcement agencies. At the end of the day, if that kind of entities are using products developed in Israel, that’s an Israeli success”.
Q: What advantages does the app have?
GlobeKeeper’s app is installed on smartphones and replaces the old-school radios used by cops, security guards and other security officials”, explains Dan Peleg. “It enables them to access all communication channels under one Virtual Command Platform (VCP): multidirectional communication, live streaming video, location sharing, chat, notifications and transferring files, images and videos. The system allows users to monitor, manage, operate and integrate all equipment in real time. Unlike WhatsApp, the communication is secure and cyber-protected using some of the strongest and strictest measures available”.
