Cyber threats against our national infrastructures are becoming increasingly dangerous and sophisticated, Israeli Ambassador to Romania, Lior Ben Dor, told a speciality forum on Tuesday.

„I am greatly honored to open this forum where Romania and Israel will focus on strengthening and expanding their partnership in cyber security. As we all know, cyber threats against our national infrastructures are becoming increasingly dangerous and sophisticated. That is why we must unite, why we must work together, we must collaborate to protect our nations against those threats. This partnership that you are creating here is just a natural extension of the partnership, friendship, cooperation and mutual support already existing between Romania and Israel,” said the Israeli official.

He added that his goal, as ambassador, is to „develop and strengthen the partnership and cooperation between the two countries” in order to „protect us in the fields of cyber security”.

The Embassy of Israel in Romania, in partnership with the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute (IEICI), is organizing, on Tuesday, the event „Romania – Israel Homeland & Cybersecurity Forum”.

„Israel is known worldwide as a pioneer in the field of security. With considerable experience in the development and implementation of security solutions, the 14 companies that will participate in this year’s HLS & Cyber in Bucharest have proven that they can provide effective and flexible answers to complex challenges. The forum aims to provide a framework for presentations and technology demonstrations, facilitating the exchange of ideas and exploring opportunities for collaboration between Israeli companies and key national security institutions/companies in Romania,” the organizers note.
