On the street the left is damaging the reputation of Israel and more and more companies regards the left as the problem and not so much the normalization of the justice system in Israel. Because in no democratic state the Supreme Court and the Attorny General can overrule the sitting Prime Minister and the elected parliament as it is the case in Israel.
And left-wing universities like the BGU are very silent to explain the companies which seeks co-operation how – allegedly – bad the current government is. In case of co-operation they keep suddenly silent. And right so.
So, the cooperation with Lenovo and BGU is the right step. Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) is a US$70 billion revenue global technology powerhouse, ranked #171 in the Fortune Global 500, employing 82,000 people around the world, and serving millions of customers every day in 180 markets.
The press release explains: “Lenovo™ (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) established the Lenovo Cybersecurity Innovation Center (LCIC) in cooperation with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, a leading Israel-based cybersecurity research institution.
The center will focus on zero-trust architecture innovation in hardware and below-OS security, as well as serve as a hub for the development of next-generation security solutions. The LCIC offers Lenovo customers an attestation lab and access to industry insights and information exchange through an on-site briefing center. (…)
The variety and severity of cyber threats are increasing as criminal hackers employ more sophisticated tools to an ever-growing threat surface of computing solutions run by businesses, governments, and consumers.
According to Lenovo’s global “Data For Humanity” report in November 2022, IT security is the top consideration when deciding to invest in digital transformation solutions across small, medium, and large businesses. Monitoring and assessing threats combined with research and reporting by LCIC cybersecurity professionals will empower more strategic and effective responses.
Israel is internationally recognized for being a center of the cybersecurity industry, and Be’er Sheva is home to cybersecurity R&D centers for several global technology companies. The LCIC will be staffed and managed in coordination by cybersecurity experts from Lenovo and Ben-Gurion University.”
Well, said, Israel is a center of cybersecurity and no companiy will boycott Israel. That would be madness.
