Israel - Summer 2025 Trip

Did you know that almost 80% of all Cybersecurity technology originates from Israel? They’re the cyber capital of the world!

In 2022, SecureCyber CEO Shawn Waldman visited CyberWeek in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. CyberWeek is best described as the international version of RSA and is hosted at Ben Gurion University in Tel Aviv. It was an amazing ten days full of exposure to new Israeli startups, Israeli Food and Culture, unbelievable networking, and learning how other countries deal with Cybersecurity issues.

The State of Israel hosts some of the world’s largest and most attended Cybersecurity events each year. CyberWeek is held in the Summer, and CyberTech in the Winter.

Our partnership has expanded with the Israeli Embassy to the point where we now take small delegations twice a year to Israel. Why? To expose US companies to the Israeli Cyber Ecosystem, learn about Israel’s awesome Cyber startup market, and learn about some of the new technologies positioning for market.

What is the cost?

We’ve done a lot to keep this trip very economical; for the most part, this trip can be done for around USD 5,000. Here is a list of estimated costs per delegate.

Airfare – Can be purchased for around ~ $2,000 (Or much lower if you purchase the airfare well in advance)
Hotel – We’ll get a group discount, but look to pay ~$300/night for 7 nights, so roughly around $2,100.
SCD Coordination Fee – $2,000 per delegate (Family members traveling with you to Israel DO NOT pay this fee) *See the family information below if you bring family with you*. This fee covers most of the ground transportation and most, if not all, of your meals, tips, etc.

Can I take my family?

Yes! We would love for you to take your family with you to Israel. SC can help coordinate and purchase tours in Israel for an additional fee.

Is it safe in Israel?

While you can’t guarantee safety anywhere, Israel is safe with the world’s best military and police forces. We’ve heard our CEO say that he feels safer in Israel than at home 🙂 Together with the US State Department and the Israeli Embassy, we watch the security situation very closely.

How long is the flight?

It takes about 11 hours. The planes flying to Israel are VERY large so you won’t feel cramped. There are direct flights from the US to Tel Aviv. Someone from SC will help you pick the right flight. We don’t recommend switching airports overseas; you will want a direct flight from the US to Israel.

Why do you go?

We go twice a year to expose US businesses and organizations to the Israeli Cyber Ecosystem. It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Plus, there is nowhere to get this type of exposure in the US.

Do I need a Passport?

Yes, you do. And a valid one on top of that

Should I get travel insurance?

Yes, you need travel insurance. Most US medical coverage doesn’t work in Israel, so you should check with your carrier. Regardless, I would get it to cover lost luggage and anything unforeseen that might cancel your trip.

What is the weather like?

It’s VERY hot in the summer as most of Israel is desert.
In the Winter, it’s cooler (highs in the 70s to 80’s), but it’s also their rainy and stormy time of the year.
Most of the rain falls in Israel from December to February.
SC staff will help make recommendations for packing depending on the time of the year you go with us.
