Israel Defense has learned that a group of companies including IBM, EMC,
Cisco, Matrix and Rafael has won the tender to build the national CERT
(Computer Emergency Response Team). This team will be created in order to
protect against cyber attacks. The national CERT will operate under the
National Cyber Bureau. Rafael functions as the group's main contractor for
the establishment of CERT headquarters.

The National Cyber ​​Bureau, established in early 2012 by the Prime
Minister, is responsible for setting up the CERT. The Bureau is headed by
Dr. Eviatar Matania, a former commander of the elite Talpiot program in the
Air Force and a former member of MAFAT (the Administration for the
Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure) in the IMOD. The
establishment of national Computer Emergency Response Team as part of the
Bureau is intended to improve the protection against cyber attacks.

The CERT is not considered an enforcement body, or a guiding body (such as
ISA, for example, which gives instructions to several dozen companies that
are considered critical for the national infrastructure, on how to defend
against cyber attacks). Nonetheless, anybody can turn to it for advice or
assistance. Even individuals.

The center is expected to employ dozens of workers in the first phase of its
esteblishment. It will be located at the "cyber hub" being established in
Be'er Sheva. The names of the winners are expected to be published within a
few weeks.
