ISTS – Israel Security Technology Showcase

DefenseTech Conference for Advanced Security Technologies

As Chairman of the conference, I view this event as a strategic platform for advancing the future of security. The growing impact of Geopolitical tensions, the rising threat of Terrorism, and the rapid evolution of Technologies such as drones, AI, and Cyber warfare require us to strengthen both outdoor security (perimeter protection, counter-drone systems, infrastructure monitoring) and indoor security (access control, AI-driven detection, counter-espionage measures). These challenges demand a deeper technological understanding and innovative solutions that can significantly upgrade our overall Security posture.

Guiding Concept

The conference is built around the concept of from the outside in - moving from perimeter Defense against aerial and Physical threats, through the use of drones as security assets, to the protection of sensitive facilities and organizations from within. This holistic approach combines Physical and digital Security to address real-world scenarios and future threats.

Israeli Innovation Technologies

A special emphasis is placed on Israeli innovation, highlighting startups and local companies that have transformed Israel into a global leader in HLS, Physical Security, drone technologies, and Cyber defense. These blue & white solutions are born out of real operational experience with Terrorism and critical infrastructure protection, and they offer practical, scalable, and globally relevant answers to today’s Security challenges.

We have worked tirelessly to craft an engaging, diverse, and forward-looking agenda that will deliver real value to participants and open doors for meaningful collaborations across the global security community.
