HAIFA, Israel, February 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit
Systems") announced today that its subsidiary Cyberbit Ltd.
("Cyberbit"), was awarded a contract from Ni Cybersecurity Inc.
("Ni Cybersecurity"), the Japanese cybersecurity service provider,
to launch a unique cybersecurity training and simulation
center in Tokyo powered by the
Cyberbit Range platform.
Ni Cybersecurity will set up a training facility in Toranomon,
Tokyo that will address these
challenges by accelerating the certification of new cybersecurity
experts and helping organizations improve the skills of their
existing staff, focusing on government and finance organizations.
The contract, in an amount that is not material to Elbit Systems,
will be performed during 2017.
The new training facility will be powered by the Cyberbit Range,
a highly advanced and widely deployed cybersecurity training and
simulation platform. It enables trainees to practice in real-life
settings by accurately replicating their network setup, using their
actual security tools and simulating their typical network traffic
so trainees can receive the most effective and realistic training
available. The Range provides a rich and up-to-date selection of
simulated attack scenarios, including ransomware. It is the
underlying platform for multiple training centers in North America, Asia and Europe.
Adi Dar, Cyberbit's General
Manager said: "When there is a need to certify tens of thousands of
new cybersecurity experts while improving the skills of existing
ones, all within a very short timeframe, enrollment in simulated
training programs is the best choice for finance, government and
other organizations in Japan. I am
confident that the initiative, led by Ni Cybersecurity, powered by
our Range platform, will contribute to Japan's cyber readiness for the 2020 Olympic
Games, and for years to follow".
Takeshi Mitsuishi, President and
CEO of Ni Cybersecurity, said: "We selected the global leading
cyber range platform, and we're taking it to the Japanese market by
opening our new training center in Tokyo, launching in Toranomon. Based on the
global success of the Cyberbit Range, our customers can expect
exceptional quality training, faster certification, and overall
more qualified and skilled cyber security personnel."
