Team8, Israel’s leading cybersecurity think tank and company creation platform, develops disruptive companies that challenge the biggest problems in cybersecurity and give organizations the advantage over cyber attackers. We work with innovation leaders and entrepreneurs alongside a research group with intimate knowledge of cybersecurity, access to the best cyber talent and a cyber syndicate of leading global brands that provide access to customers, partners and key influencers.
Following their experience in the Israeli Defense Force’s intelligence unit 8200 and their work in the private sector, co-founders Nadav Zafrir, Israel Grimberg, and Liran Grinberg saw first-hand the attack landscape and its potential to threaten nearly every aspect of our interconnected world.
Finding current technologies and business models to be limiting, they questioned why commercial companies and solutions couldn’t keep pace or solve the most difficult cybersecurity problems.
Partnering with serial tech entrepreneur and investor Yuval Shachar, they decided to create a new model to building cybersecurity solutions to address the continuously growing threats.
