What if all the trending #buzzwords, when put together, actually made sense? 🧐 I spoke about global #election campaigns, and how #AI-generated #deepfake was used in trying to skew them. The talk is in Hebrew, but I'm sure there's an AI for that 😉 It was based on detailed research by CP<R>'s Yoav Arad Pinkas, which can be read here - https://lnkd.in/dGfkR4vE Wikimedia Israel Reichman University Check Point Software https://lnkd.in/dRpPKf3X

Recently, I encountered an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) issue on a utility company’s website, allowing access to other users’ information by simply adjusting a URL parameter. Thanks to the quick action from the company after I reported it, the vulnerability was patched right away. A special thank you to Ran Bar-Zik for publishing the story and helping to bring attention to the importance of strong access control in data security. A good reminder of how even simple security measures can make a big difference. https://lnkd.in/dduatyvt

In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

Access management is far more than a technical task—it’s critical for preventing real-world threats. In my latest analysis for ITtime by Geektime, I break down how expired access permissions nearly led to a disaster and why even QR codes can become security risks. #Cybersecurity #AccessManagement #ITSecurity #TechInsights

As a result of the war, the Israeli defense industry and defense-tech companies have been at the forefront. A recent article I wrote for Calcalist כלכליסט explains how we can leverage the significant investments made in defense industries and their outstanding achievements for environmental sustainability and overcoming climate change. Dual-use technology refers to technologies that can be used for both military and civilian purposes, thereby maximizing the advantages of advanced technologies. A drone is a great example of dual-use technology – on one hand, it can be used for military surveillance, and on the other hand, it can also be used to monitor climate-related changes such as methane and other GHG emissions monitoring, weather patterns, etc. In the article, I provided more examples of dual-use technologies, including satellite technologies and green transportation. Defense industries and Israeli defense-tech companies can play a central role in dual-use technology. Investing in dedicated bodies like Capital Nature can provide the necessary network and market access for these technologies. This can revolutionize both sectors and drive progress towards a safer and more sustainable future. #DualUseTechnology #Defensetech #ClimateCrisis

Noy Tal and Omri Limor did an excellent job answering some of the top questions from Sentra users about our data security platform. They covered how Sentra classifies data, what shadow data is, how Sentra identifies it, and more. If you missed the previous episode where they answered some of the most searched DSPM questions, you can watch it out here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dxN5fjKr

I spoke with Calcalist כלכליסט last week about how the combination of high candidate volumes and diminished in-house recruiting resources are creating tough conditions for candidates. Companies are feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of applicants, so they're either not posting roles publicly or only speaking to a tiny portion of candidates, usually the ones who get an extra push from someone in their network. This is especially difficult for groups that tend to have weaker networks in the tech ecosystem - juniors, olim, racial/ethnic/religious minority groups, candidates looking to make a career change or enter hi-tech from other industries, etc. Network-based hiring has some benefits for companies, but can also reinforce existing inequalities around access to opportunities. HR and Talent teams need to think about how to balance resource limitations against the desire to continue to build diverse, inclusive teams.

🚀 Exciting Announcement! 🎙️ I'm thrilled to share that I was recently interviewed for the first episode of a new podcast series by "People & Computers," hosted by the insightful yehudak konfortes; As one of the few Israeli experts in AI standardization and its integration with local regulation, I have been spearheading Israel's efforts globally since 2017. In this inaugural episode, we delve into critical discussions on the international AI arms race, focusing particularly on the regulatory elements where AI standardization plays a pivotal role in global-local dynamics. We explore the regulatory landscape intertwined with AI advancements, offering a unique perspective on how nations are navigating this complex terrain. As Head of Delegation to both SC42 (International AI Standards) and JTC21 (EU AI ACT Standards), as well as a Contributor to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (US) and Standards Council of Canada (SCC) (Canada), I hope to add value by bringing a fresh and unique perspective. 🎧 Tune in to the podcast on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/duhjdvxb While my podcast under ISRAI.AI (link in comments) is in English and geared towards a professional audience, the "People & Computers" series is in Hebrew and aimed at the general public. Hope you enjoy this short episode and, as always, be in touch and let me know your thoughts!
