US, Israel cybersecurity joint investment announced

Zionist regime and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have initiated a joint cyber program to increase the resilience of infrastructure.

In a joint Thursday announcement that was only distributed widely in Israel on Sunday, Washington and Tel Aviv said they would seek to invest in cooperative projects between two companies, or between a company and a university or research institution – one from the US and one from Israel.

 

More specifically, the selected projects will focus on innovative technologies in four areas: secured architecture for protecting core operational processes; real-time risk assessment solutions for small-to-medium-sized airports or seaports; resilience center pilots for small- and medium-sized businesses and enterprises; and advanced data fusion and analytics.

 

The Israel-US Binational Industrial Research and Development Cyber program, also known as BIRD Cyber, just recently issued its first request for proposals to address mission-critical cybersecurity needs.

                                                                                    

Grants of up to $1.5 million per project will be provided to “fund up to 50% of research and development budgets.”

 

“Our department is committed to direct operational collaboration with our international partners and the private sector to address the most pressing cybersecurity challenges,” said DHS Under Secretary for Policy Robert Silvers. “Through the BIRD Cyber program, DHS and INCD [the Israel National Cyber Directorate] will harness the innovation and ingenuity of the Israeli and American technology sectors to drive security and resilience.”
