The investment is made through the BIRD Cyber Program, a joint initiative from the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD), the Israel-US Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation, and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T).
As part of the program, four grants will be awarded for security projects targeting the maritime sectors, airport and air traffic, and industrial control systems (ICS).
Rescana and Trend Micro will work on a threat intelligence capability for the maritime sector; Salvador Technologies and Bastazo will build a solution for ICS vulnerability management, monitoring, and recovery; and Cyber 2.0 and Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport will develop a cyber visibility, monitoring, and data traffic detection solution.
