Lockheed Martin is joining several companies to form an Israeli-based cyber research organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockheed is teaming with EMC, Jerusalem Venture Partners and BGN Technologies to form the CyberSpark Industry Initiative, “a nonprofit organization established to enhance government-private sector collaboration in Israel and the wider international technology community through its cyber center, based at the Advanced Technologies Park, Be’er Sheva,” said a Lockheed news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CyberSpark will work with the Israel Defense Force, Israeli government agencies and academia. It will capitalize on a surge in cyber research in the Be’er Sheva area, where Lockheed recently opened an office, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is another step in Lockheed Martin’s plans to develop additional partnerships with the information, communications and technology industry and academia in Israel,” said Lockheed Martin Israel CEO Joshua Shani. “We believe that Lockheed Martin will play a key role in establishing Israel as a globally respected cyber center via a significant contribution of skills, experience and inward investment in jobs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
