The Blavatnik Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center (ICRC), inaugurated in 2014 at Tel Aviv University (TAU), is a joint initiative with the National Cyber Directorate of the Prime Minister’s Office and provides an academic framework for interdisciplinary research on the dynamic and constantly evolving field of cyber. The Center’s 50+ TAU faculty members and 200+ cyber researchers have attained national and international prominence for their scholarship and industry expertise. They are drawn from many different disciplines including the Exact Sciences, Computer Science, Law, Engineering, Social Science, Management and the Humanities. Since its inception, the ICRC has aimed to enrich the volume and quality of academic research in the cyber field, provide information to the security sector for future use, help advance academic training and the efforts of academic personnel in the field, increase the academic efforts and awareness of the field of cybersecurity, and provide an important intersection between government, industry and academia. The ICRC researches key issues such as security software, attacks on hardware and software, cryptography, network protocols, security of operating systems and networks, as well as the impact of these topics on national security, society, regulation and the business sector.
The Yuval Ne’eman Workshop for Science, Technology and Security was launched in 2002 by Prof. Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Isaac Ben-Israel in conjunction with the Harold Hartog School of Policy and Government and the Security Studies Program at Tel Aviv University. The Workshop was founded with the clear directive of exploring the links between science, technology and security. The Workshop conducts a broad range of research activities that include the publication of research papers and policy reports in the field of national security strategy & policy. Alongside its research activities, the Workshop also holds a senior executive forum that promotes public-private partnerships and initiatives, and a popular series of monthly conferences at Tel Aviv University with the participation of senior IDF staff and security organization members, politicians, academia, and executives from leading Israeli and International companies. The goal of the Workshop’s activities is to create an open and fruitful dialogue with the general public in the fields of interest of the Workshop: Cyber Security, Space and Emerging Issues of National Security.
After October 7th, we began a series of events on different aspects of the failure on the Israeli side to foresee this tragic event. The aim is to enrich the dialogue on national security concerns to better understand how October 7th happened and how to prevent such occurrences in the future.
