The major defense companies see the future in Cyber: The Israeli Military Industries has recently established a New Cyber Administration within the Department of R&D and business development. Oren Bratt, an engineer by profession, stands at the head of the administration. Setting up the administration came as part of the IMI’s decision to deepen its cyber activity.

They are far from being the only one with this intention. The former Head of the Intelligence Corps, Brig. Gen. (res.) Ariel Karo, was appointed to head the new cyber administration formed by Rafael, which was established by the company to concentrate its activities in cyberspace.

The Israeli Aircraft Industries also focuses on Cyberspace: Recently the company established a new cyber administration headed by Estee Lapshin - who is considered a cyber pioneer in the work of the 8200 Unit of the Intelligence Corps. In addition, IAI signed an agreement with “Cyberia” to use cyber technologies it developed.

It should be also noted that Elbit Systems has recently decided a structural change related to cyber: As part Elbit’s subsidiary Elop, a new Optoelectronics and Intelligence Division was formed. Elop CEO, Adi Dar, will serve as head of the new division. The cyber and intelligence administration of Elbit Systems, headed by Brigadier General (res.) Yair Cohen, was transferred from the Land Division to the new one.
