1948 Ventures

Matzliach Capital, in partnership with 1948 Ventures , has made an investment in Cyvore, an innovative cybersecurity startup specializing in workspace security. Cyvore, under the leadership of Ori Segal, Yoav Rotem, and Yiftach Rotem, is at the forefront of proactive digital workspace security. Their mission is to protect the entire spectrum of digital communication platforms where employees interact, including Zoom, Teams, Email, Slack, WhatsApp, CRM, and more. Cyvore's advanced engines enable deep investigation of every Indicator of Compromise, safeguarding all potential attack surfaces. Through its unique optical technology, proactive threat intelligence, and real-time psychological analysis, Cyvore provides unprecedented insights. With the rise of remote and hybrid work, and LLMs, companies are increasingly reliant on electronic communication, of which 55% now occurs outside of email. This has led to a surge in phishing and fraud, with a 1,265% increase in malicious phishing messages, 31,000 phishing attacks sent daily, and a 967% rise in credential phishing. These alarming statistics highlight the urgent need for companies to prioritize cybersecurity. The founding team will be in New York from March 17 to 27 and is actively seeking POC/design partners to provide critical feedback on Cyvore’s product. If you’re interested, DM me, and I’ll make the introduction. Matzliach Capital's investment in Cyvore reflects our belief in the company's impact on improving the effectiveness of the emerging field of workspace security. ?

What's the story with all those drones flying above us on the East Coast? These mysterious sightings highlight a growing vulnerability for U.S. communities, critical infrastructure, and sensitive sites. In today's New York Post, I make the argument that the U.S. would be wise to tap Israel's drone defense technologies to safeguard our airspace. https://lnkd.in/dV2gqJp2 R2 Wireless Robotican Airwayz Yiftach Richter Onn Fenig Amir Shapiro Hagai Balshai Ofir Bustan Eyal Zor Shlomo Kalish United States - Israel Business Alliance 1948 Ventures

I'm putting my money on Israel establishing itself as the global leader in developing life-saving technologies for many years to come. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with the New York Post and explain how Israel's urgent need to innovate on the battlefield will ultimately save American lives, create American jobs, and safeguard American communities. This is a part of the underlying 1948 Ventures investment thesis. I'm proud of the work my team has done so far. We're just getting started. https://lnkd.in/dcbw5FKn
