Key Findings

  • Economic: CyberProof maintains a continuing Israeli operating and R&D footprint: its current materials list a Tel Aviv office, historical reporting designated Israel as UST’s global cybersecurity development center, CyberProof has used Israel-based talent for product and intellectual-property development, and CyberProof Israel Ltd. is named as assignee on a cybersecurity patent granted in March 2026.1, 2, 3
  • Political: CyberProof identifies Aharai-Tech as a current CSR partnership and says UST funded classes, computers and teachers; Aharai-Tech describes its program as combining technology training with Zionism and leadership education while preparing participants for elite IDF technological units.4, 5
  • Political: During November 2023, CyberProof’s Israel Site Lead described extensive support for employees serving in the reserves, said “donations were gathered for military units,” and publicly wished Israeli soldiers success. The source does not identify the donor, amount, recipient units or donated items, so the military-donation element remains materially unresolved.6
  • Not found: No public evidence identified of a verified CyberProof contract with the IDF, Israeli Ministry of Defense or another Israeli security body; no qualifying military weapons/logistics nexus, offensive-cyber provision, Project Nimbus participation, settlement operation, or named CyberProof entry in the consulted UN settlement-related material.7, 8

Executive Summary

CyberProof is a UST cybersecurity business whose documented Israel nexus is strongest in commercial operations, employment, product development and innovation. Its current public materials list a Tel Aviv office, while historical reporting described Israel as UST’s global cybersecurity development center and CyberProof’s Tel Aviv operation as the center of UST cybersecurity activity.1, 2 Subsequent evidence shows continued Israeli employment and security-operations activity, Israel-based service delivery for at least one anonymous multinational customer, and intellectual-property development attributed to CyberProof Israel Ltd.3, 16, 17

The economic record also includes historical Israeli acquisitions and investment. In January 2018, UST acquired Holon-based cybersecurity startup BISEC through CyberProof for about NIS 20 million, reported independently as approximately $5.8 million.10, 19 Later in 2018, UST invested in Israel-based XM Cyber and announced a sales and integration agreement with CyberProof.20 The reviewed sources do not establish that UST retained a controlling stake after Schwarz Group acquired a majority of XM Cyber in 2021.21 Current UST materials continue to describe Israel as one of the startup ecosystems tapped by UST Spark, and UST invested in Herzliya-based aiOla in November 2025.18, 22

The strongest political-domain evidence is CyberProof’s own description of its partnership with Aharai-Tech. CyberProof says UST provided financial support for classes, computers and teachers.4 Aharai-Tech describes itself as an initiative involving Aharai! and the 8200 Alumni Association, combining technological training with Zionism and leadership education and seeking to help participants reach elite IDF technological units.5 Separately, a November 2023 interview with CyberProof’s Israel Site Lead documented support for employees serving in the reserves and stated that donations were gathered for military units, while leaving the source, value, contents and recipients of those donations unspecified.6 That ambiguity prevents treatment of the donation statement as a verified corporate military-supply mechanism.

The audits did not establish a qualifying direct military or digital-security nexus to Israeli state actors. No public evidence identified a CyberProof contract, award or memorandum with the IDF, Ministry of Defense, Israeli police, intelligence agencies or another Israeli security body; no evidence identified weapons, tactical systems, targeting technology, spyware or offensive-cyber supply; and no CyberProof participation in Project Nimbus was established.7, 11, 23 No CyberProof office or operation in the West Bank, East Jerusalem or occupied Syrian Golan was identified, and the consulted UN material did not name CyberProof or UST.8 Those are researched absences within the reviewed sources rather than proof that no undisclosed relationship could exist.

Under the fixed, human-vetted Complicity Index V6.5 scoring, Military and Digital therefore score zero. The continuing Israel-based commercial/R&D footprint drives Economic to 6.69, while the Aharai-Tech partnership and related political evidence drive Political to 6.12. The resulting Complicity Index score is 592, Tier C (Substantial Complicity).

Corporate Overview

CyberProof presents itself as a UST company focused on managed cybersecurity operations and security platforms.12 UST leadership materials list Tony Velleca as CyberProof CEO and Yuval Wollman as CyberProof President, with Wollman also serving as UST Managing Director, Israel / Chief Cyber Officer.14 Historical 2018 reporting described CyberProof as fully owned by UST; the audits did not identify a current public ownership table establishing the precise percentage.13

The Israeli operating footprint is concrete. CyberProof’s current contact page lists its Tel Aviv office, while a civic public-data aggregator, OpenBudget, separately lists CYBERPROOF ISRAEL LTD, company number 515346534, at 132 Begin Road, Tel Aviv-Jaffa and labels it an active Israeli private company.1, 27 The audit expressly treats OpenBudget as secondary public-data evidence rather than a certified registrar extract and leaves current annual-filing status and exact legal continuity unresolved.

Historically, UST expanded its Israeli cybersecurity footprint through the BISEC acquisition and XM Cyber investment/integration agreement.10, 20 The BISEC evidence concerns a software/security company, not manufacturing. The later XM Cyber evidence does not establish continuing control after Schwarz Group acquired a majority stake in 2021.21

The continuing nexus is operational as well as transactional. CyberProof had about 85 Israel-based employees in July 2024, according to CTech, and a UST customer case study states that a five-year CyberProof engagement is delivered from Spain, Israel and India.16, 17 Current UST innovation materials also identify Israel as a startup ecosystem in which the parent group is active.22

Domain Summaries

Military: Military

Mechanism of Involvement

No mechanically eligible military frame was established. CyberProof’s public services are enterprise cybersecurity functions including managed detection and response, SOC operations, threat hunting, incident response, endpoint and OT/ICS security, vulnerability management and related services.11 The reviewed materials do not describe weapons, military platforms, targeting systems, tactical variants, munitions, military logistics or purpose-built kinetic capabilities.

CyberProof does employ people with prior Israeli military and intelligence experience. President Yuval Wollman’s biography records service as an IDF Unit 8200 officer and later Director General of Israel’s Intelligence Ministry, while CyberProof’s service catalogue markets experience of former Unit 8200 personnel.15, 11 These facts establish workforce background, not a CyberProof contract with the Israeli state.

The November 2023 statement that “donations were gathered for military units” is the most direct military-unit reference found.6 Its evidentiary limits are substantial: the article does not identify the donor as CyberProof corporate funds, name a recipient unit, give an amount, identify donated items or state their purpose. It therefore does not establish a military supply contract, logistics arrangement or corporate weapons/material contribution.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The strongest defence is the absence of a verified military customer or military-specific product. No public evidence identified a CyberProof contract, tender award, framework agreement or memorandum with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, IDF, Prison Service, Border Police or another Israeli security body.7 Government/public-sector availability through procurement catalogues does not identify an actual buyer or award.

The audits also found no public evidence of CyberProof supplying Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael or IMI/Elbit Land with components or specialist services; no arms/export licensing action tied to Israeli security customers; and no construction, checkpoint, detention, settlement or military-base infrastructure role.

The military-unit donation statement remains unresolved rather than exculpatory or inculpatory beyond its literal wording. It supports the existence of some collection associated with military units in 2023, but not the stronger proposition of a corporate military-supply mechanism.6

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Digital: Digital

Mechanism of Involvement

CyberProof has a substantial cybersecurity technology ecosystem, including current or historical relationships with Israeli-linked technology companies, but the audits did not establish a qualifying digital-rights or state-surveillance frame. Current partner materials include XM Cyber, Armis, Radiflow, Claroty, Wiz, SentinelOne and Palo Alto Networks, with the depth of relationship varying by vendor.28

CyberProof’s services include cloud security, identity and access management, OT/ICS monitoring, threat hunting, managed detection and response, incident response and AI-assisted security operations.11 Its IAM materials mention biometric identity verification,29 but the audits found no public evidence of facial-recognition, predictive-policing, population-surveillance or Palestine-related content-moderation deployments.

No public evidence identified CyberProof as a participant in Project Nimbus or as a supplier of cloud, AI, spyware, offensive-cyber or surveillance technology to an Israeli state, military, intelligence or police body.23 CyberProof’s Israeli SOC and service-delivery footprint establishes commercial cyber operations in Israel, but the reviewed sources do not establish Israeli data residency or the precise extent to which Israel-based staff access customer telemetry.17

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The strongest defence is that the documented technology is ordinary enterprise cybersecurity and the audits found no named Israeli state end-user. CyberProof’s services can be dual-use in the broad sense that cybersecurity tools could serve many sectors, but capability alone does not establish deployment by Israeli military, police or intelligence bodies.

The audits also rejected transitive attribution. CyberProof’s relationship with an Israeli-origin or Israel-linked technology vendor does not transfer that vendor’s unrelated customers, conduct or state relationships to CyberProof. Similarly, CyberProof’s Google Cloud partnership does not establish Project Nimbus participation.23

No public evidence identified offensive exploit development, spyware sales, autonomous targeting, kill-chain automation or models trained on Palestinian surveillance data. The consulted UN technology material did not identify CyberProof or UST.8

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Economic: Economic

Mechanism of Involvement

The economic domain is the strongest documented vector and drives the dossier’s maximum domain score. CyberProof has a continuing Israeli office, workforce, R&D/innovation function and service-delivery presence.1, 16, 17 Historical reporting stated that UST designated Israel as its global cybersecurity development center and that the CyberProof Tel Aviv center handled UST’s cybersecurity activity.2

CyberProof has also used Israel-based talent for technology and intellectual-property development. A U.S. patent application filed in January 2023 names CyberProof Israel Ltd. as assignee for log-collector aggregation-rule technology, with the patent granted in March 2026.3 CyberProof’s current corporate materials describe development through Israel-based talent, while UST Spark says the parent taps the Israeli startup ecosystem.12, 22

Investment history reinforces the economic nexus. UST acquired Israeli startup BISEC through CyberProof in 2018 for about NIS 20 million / $5.8 million.10, 19 UST later invested in XM Cyber and tied that investment to CyberProof technology integration.20 That historical exposure was mitigated in the audit because Schwarz Group acquired a majority stake in XM Cyber in 2021 and the reviewed sources do not establish current UST control.21

Parent-level activity continued after the audit’s July and November 2024 temporal markers: UST announced an investment in Herzliya-based aiOla in November 2025.18 The amount was not disclosed. This is a parent-company Israel investment and is not treated as a CyberProof acquisition.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The economic evidence concerns commercial activity, employment, technology development and investment in Israel. No public evidence identified CyberProof manufacturing physical goods, sourcing settlement-origin products, operating in settlements or holding Israeli sovereign bonds. No current Israeli government, Ministry of Defense or IDF purchase order was identified.

The audits also leave several corporate details unresolved. A certified Israeli registrar extract was not retrieved; therefore precise legal continuity between BISEC and CyberProof Israel Ltd., current annual-filing status and some historical corporate details remain unresolved. OpenBudget is used only as an attributed civic-data source.27

Historical state support also requires care. OpenBudget records a NIS 385,000 2017 export-support approval for CyberProof Israel Ltd., but displays no payment against that approval; a separate aggregate-transfer figure cannot be assigned to that approval or year on the reviewed evidence.24, 27 It is therefore evidence of an attributed support approval, not proof that NIS 385,000 was paid.

No public disclosure was identified for CyberProof’s Israel-derived revenue, tax payments, dividends, management fees or quantified profit repatriation. The economic score rests primarily on the direct and continuing operational/R&D nexus rather than on an inferred fiscal contribution.

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Political: Political

Mechanism of Involvement

The governing political frame is CyberProof and UST’s support for Aharai-Tech. CyberProof’s CSR page identifies Aharai-Tech as a partnership and states that UST contributed financially to classes, computers and teachers.4 Aharai-Tech describes itself as an initiative involving Aharai! and the 8200 Alumni Association and says its program combines technological education with Zionism and leadership training while preparing participants for elite IDF technological units.5

This establishes direct corporate support for an educational and ideological program connected to a military-technology recruitment pathway. The evidence does not show a payment to the IDF itself, nor does it establish that every participant enters military service. Those limits are reflected in the vetted political score rather than converting the evidence into direct military procurement.

A second political strand comes from the November 2023 CTech interview. CyberProof’s Israel Site Lead and VP HR said 20 of 95 Israeli employees were on active reserve duty, described support for enlisted employees and their families, wished Israeli soldiers success, prayed for the return of hostages and used the phrase “Am Israel Chai.”6 The interview also said donations were gathered for military units, without identifying their source or destination.6

CyberProof separately launched Step IT Up Israel in 2021 with Amit4Life to train and place young Israeli army veterans into technology roles, with selected participants hired into UST and CyberProof teams.25 This is a veterans-employment program and does not by itself establish ideological advocacy or military contracting.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The strongest defence is that CyberProof’s primary mission is commercial cybersecurity and that the political evidence is concentrated in CSR, workforce and executive communications rather than government contracting or lobbying. No public evidence identified CyberProof or UST lobbying on Israel-Palestine policy, anti-BDS legislation or settlement policy, and no target-specific evidence identified corporate donations to FIDF, JNF/KKL, Regavim, Im Tirtzu or settlement organizations.

The Aharai-Tech evidence supports a corporate-funded partnership, but the program’s military connection is indirect through education and preparation for elite technological units. The sources do not show CyberProof or UST paying the IDF.4, 5

The November 2023 military-unit donation statement remains ambiguous as to donor, amount, goods, units and purpose.6 No public evidence identified continuation or escalation of that activity after 19 July 2024 or after November 2024.

CyberProof is also not named as a specific priority target in the reviewed BDS Movement corporate guide, and no CyberProof-specific organized boycott, divestment or sanctions campaign was identified in the reviewed corpus.30 The consulted UN material likewise did not identify CyberProof or UST by name.8
