The rapid digital revolution over the last few years has profoundly changed the world we live in. Along with the opportunities provided, it has also presented sophisticated challenges that are more complex than ever before.

"In the face of new threats we encounter daily, individuals, organizations and states are required to produce innovative, unique solutions to strengthen the resilience of sensitive communication systems they rely on every day. For this purpose, it is essential to be aware of the latest developments in the cyber defense market," said Amir Rappaport, CEO of CyberTech. "We are proud to partner with the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles and the City of Beverly Hills to bring to the region Israel's top experts and companies in the field of cybersecurity," he added.

In May 2014, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a strategic corporate agreement to develop joint projects and conduct mutually beneficial research in California and Israel. The collaboration between Israel and the City of Beverly Hills, which is a direct result of this agreement, is intended to promote professional cooperation and trade partnerships in areas such as cybersecurity, water innovation, and public safety.

Commenting on preparations for CyberTech Beverly Hills, Consul General of Israel to the Southwest United States, David Siegel said: "With a total of 8 million people and limited natural resources, Israel has managed to position itself as a global leader in cybersecurity. Israel is second only to the United States in global private investment in cybersecurity firms, with half a billion dollars flowing to the sector annually. I believe this conference will create new ground-breaking opportunities for both our countries."

CyberTech Beverly Hills will include panel discussions on cyber-crime investigations, fintech, media & entertainment and critical infrastructure. The event will also showcase an exhibition of innovative technologies from leading Israeli and U.S. start-ups and established companies, including Palo Alto (News - Alert) Networks, CyberArk and Fortscale.
