Corporate Communications & Public Stance

2023-11-20. In a CTech “HR in War” interview, Maayan Cohen-Haziz, identified as CyberProof’s Israel Site Lead and VP HR, said CyberProof’s Israel office had 95 employees, 20 of whom were on active reserve duty. She said the company was supporting enlisted employees and families and publicly wished “our soldiers success in their mission,” prayed for the return of hostages, and used the phrase “Am Israel Chai.”1 The article is an attributable executive interview, not a standalone CyberProof press release.1

2022-03-15 and 2026. CyberProof has published conflict-related cyber research outside the Israel-Palestine context: a March 2022 Russia-Ukraine item described Russia’s attack as “unprovoked” and discussed attacks on governments aiding Ukrainian refugees,2 while its 2026 mid-year threat report covered cyber activity linked to the Iran-Israel conflict.3 In the reviewed CyberProof corporate, leadership, and research materials, no public evidence identified of a dedicated statement addressing Palestinian civilian harm. This is a bounded research absence, not proof that no statement exists.4, 5, 3

Current, 2026. CyberProof frames its Israel activity as part of a global commercial cybersecurity business: the company describes itself as “A UST Company,” and its current contact page lists Tel Aviv alongside offices in the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and Switzerland.4, 6

Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories

Current, 2026. CyberProof’s public location page identifies its Israel office at 132 Menachem Begin, Azrieli Triangular Tower, Tel Aviv.6 no public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of a CyberProof office, branch, service site, or named contract in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, or occupied Syrian Golan.6

2025. Text review of A/HRC/59/23 did not identify CyberProof or UST by name.7 This document-level absence does not establish that no relationship exists outside the scope of that UN material.7

2024-current guide. The BDS Movement’s corporate priority-target guide does not name CyberProof or UST among the listed international priority targets in the reviewed text.8 The same guide separately states a broad policy calling for boycotting and divesting from Israeli companies unless specified conditions are met; that general position is not a CyberProof-specific campaign.8 no public evidence identified of a CyberProof-specific organized boycott, divestment, or sanctions campaign in the reviewed source set.8

Internal Governance, Content & Retail Policies

2023-11-20. Cohen-Haziz said CyberProof had experienced no internal hostility at that time and described a company policy of zero tolerance for hostility, with managers prepared to involve HR if issues arose.1 The interview does not document disciplinary action concerning pro-Palestinian employee speech, symbols, union activity, or advocacy.1 no public evidence identified of such Palestine-related HR enforcement in the reviewed sources.1

2022-current. CyberProof’s product materials describe an enterprise security-operations platform for managed detection, response, threat intelligence, and related cybersecurity workflows.9 no public evidence identified of a public social-media or editorial platform operated by CyberProof, or of Palestine-related algorithmic moderation, content suppression, or editorial-policy inquiries involving CyberProof.9

2022-current. The reviewed materials describe cybersecurity services rather than consumer retail goods.9, 4 no public evidence identified of settlement-origin product labeling, sourcing, or retail categorization controversies involving CyberProof.9

Brand Heritage & State Partnerships

2022. CyberProof’s service catalog markets “nation-state” expertise and states that its threat hunters include former members of IDF Unit 8200, presenting that background as experience relevant to advanced threat hunting.9 Current, 2026. CyberProof’s biography for President Yuval Wollman states that he previously served as Director General of Israel’s Intelligence Ministry and, during military service, as an officer in Unit 8200.5 These biographies establish prior state and military service; they do not establish current government direction or a current state contract.5

Current program pages, reviewed 2026. CyberProof says it partners with Aharai-Tech and that UST contributed to classes, computers, and teachers.10 Aharai-Tech describes itself as an initiative of Aharai! with the 8200 Alumni Association and says its program combines technical training with Zionism and leadership education, with an aim of helping participants reach elite IDF technological units.11 This documents a corporate-supported education partnership connected to a military-technology career pipeline; it is not evidence of government procurement.10, 11

2021-10-27. CyberProof announced Step IT Up Israel with Amit4Life, described as a program training and placing young Israeli army veterans into technology roles; the release states that selected participants were hired into UST and CyberProof teams after training.12

[pre-2020] 2018. UST’s chairman told CTech that Israel had been designated UST’s global cybersecurity development center and that CyberProof’s Tel Aviv center would handle UST’s cybersecurity activity.13 [pre-2020] 2018. UST also invested in Israel-based XM Cyber and announced a sales and integration agreement under which XM Cyber’s HaXM platform would be integrated with the CyberProof Defense Center; the release described XM Cyber as founded by former senior Israeli intelligence figures.14 These historical commercial ties do not by themselves establish a CyberProof contract with the Israeli state or military.13, 14

Lobbying, Advocacy, Financing & Logistics

2023-11-20. In describing wartime employee support, Cohen-Haziz said CyberProof mapped enlisted staff and relatives, provided food vouchers for enlisted employees or their families, maintained outreach to enlisted personnel and families, allowed unlimited volunteer hours, and that “donations were gathered for military units.”1 The source does not state the amount, identify recipient units, or specify whether the donations came from CyberProof corporate funds, employees, or a mixed collection.1

2023-11-20. The same interview said CyberProof’s global executives and local staff held a fundraising event for an impacted kibbutz and continued direct work to assist its long-term needs.1 The article does not identify the kibbutz or characterize the fundraiser as military support.1

Current program page. CyberProof says UST financially supported Aharai-Tech classes, computers, and teachers as part of CSR.10 Aharai-Tech’s own description connects the program to the 8200 Alumni Association and preparation for elite IDF technological units.11 The reviewed sources do not show a payment by CyberProof or UST to the IDF itself through this program.10, 11

Current, reviewed 2026. No public evidence identified of CyberProof or UST lobbying specifically on Israel-Palestine policy, anti-BDS legislation, or settlement policy; no target-specific public evidence identified of corporate donations to FIDF, JNF/KKL, Regavim, Im Tirtzu, or settlement organizations; and no target-specific public evidence identified of free cyber services or infrastructure supplied to the Israeli military during the conflict beyond the military-unit donation collection described above.1

2024-current public-sector offering. UST lists CyberProof-related security services on the UK government’s G-Cloud marketplace.15 The listing establishes that the service is available for public-sector procurement; it does not establish that a government buyer purchased it.15

Post-2024 timing. The military-unit donation statement located in this review is from November 2023.1 Current 2026 corporate pages confirm continuing Israel operations and CyberProof’s commercial activity,4, 6, 16 but no public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of a renewed or escalated military-unit donation program after 19 July 2024 or after the November 2024 ICC warrants.4, 6, 16

Corporate Structure & Primary Mission

Current, 2026. CyberProof presents itself as a UST company focused on managed cybersecurity services and platforms.4, 16 UST’s leadership page lists Tony Velleca as CEO of CyberProof and Yuval Wollman as President of CyberProof, while also placing both within UST’s leadership structure.17

Current public records. UK Companies House lists CYBERPROOF (UK) PRIVATE LIMITED as an active private company, incorporated in 2016, and records its former name as UST GLOBAL INVESTMENTS (UK) PRIVATE LIMITED.18

2024. UST’s sustainability report describes CyberProof in Israel as a specialized cybersecurity team that collaborates with UST’s information-security function on external incidents.19 no public evidence identified in the reviewed ownership and mission materials of a state-held golden share, a founding charter requiring advancement of Israeli geopolitical goals, or a primary corporate mission other than commercial cybersecurity.4, 18, 19

2021-current commercial delivery. A UST case study describes CyberProof as the strategic security partner for an unnamed multinational chemical company for five years, delivering SOC and cyber services from Spain, Israel, and India.20 The customer is anonymous in the case study; it should not be treated as a named public-sector or state customer.20

Executive & Leadership Footprint

Current, 2026. UST and CyberProof list Tony Velleca as CyberProof CEO and Yuval Wollman as CyberProof President.4, 17 Wollman’s CyberProof biography states that before CyberProof he spent a decade in the Israeli public sector, ending as Director General of the Intelligence Ministry, and that his earlier military service was as an officer in IDF Unit 8200.5 These are historical roles; the reviewed current biographies do not state that he presently holds an Israeli government or military post.5, 17

2023-11-20. Maayan Cohen-Haziz, then identified as Israel Site Lead and VP HR, made the wartime public statements described above, including wishing Israeli soldiers success and “Am Israel Chai,” while detailing reservist staffing and support measures.1

Current, reviewed 2026. No public evidence identified of personal donations by Velleca or Wollman to FIDF, JNF/KKL, settlement organizations, or other regional advocacy groups in the reviewed sources.5, 17 no public evidence identified of either executive holding a board or leadership role in AIPAC, CFI, FIDF, JNF/KKL, Regavim, Im Tirtzu, or a comparable Israel-Palestine pressure group in the reviewed sources.5, 17

[pre-2020] 2018. UST’s investment in XM Cyber and its CyberProof integration involved an Israeli cybersecurity company founded by former senior intelligence officials.14 This was a corporate investment and technology relationship; it does not establish that those XM Cyber founders were CyberProof executives or that their former state roles represented current state direction of CyberProof.14
