Frost & Sullivan Honors Elbit Systems' Subsidiary, CYBERBIT, for its Leadership and Innovation in the Cyber Security Market among Commercial and Defense End Users
The acquisition of Nice's Cyber and Intelligence Division is a huge step toward entrenching CYBERBIT in the general commercial segment and as a world leader in the Intelligence and LEA global markets
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the cyber intelligence and security market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes CYBERBIT with the 2015 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership. Elbit Systems has been Israel's major cyber security provider and has striven to position itself as a significant participant in the world market. In line with its expansion goals, Elbit procured the cyber and intelligence division of global major Nice. This move resulted in the creation of a new player, CYBERBIT. CYBERBIT leverages both Elbit's and Nice's global operations, brand and positioning in the defense and commercial markets, to sell standalone solutions to clients of all sizes, across market segments.

"The thinking behind establishing a subsidiary instead of an operational unit was to offer the company the flexibility to operate freely in the global market, especially in the commercial, non-defense segments," said Frost & Sullivan Consulting Manager Yaki Baranes. "In a relatively short time, CYBERBIT has developed impressive, high-end, standalone products and fully integrated solutions that deliver end-to-end capabilities to its intelligence and cyber security customers."
CYBERBIT's cyber security solution, CyberShield Suite, has a comprehensive suite of capabilities that combine advanced malware detection, mitigation and response across multiple types of IT and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks, along with cyber training and simulation to train these networks' security personnel. These product advantages have helped CYBERBIT win major deals in Israel and establish itself as a local leader. This popularity, in turn, has enabled it to win foreign projects as well.
In May 2015, it was announced that CYBERBIT acquired Nice Systems' Cyber and Intelligence Division. This is a bold move and will have far-reaching implications. First, as Nice's cyber and intelligence solutions are complementary to CYBERBIT's, thus strengthening CYBERBIT's solutions and product portfolio. By completing CYBERBIT's portfolio, it allows the company to provide end-to-end and fully integrated solutions, as well as standalone cyber products to commercial end users. Second, the acquisition automatically created a new cyber company that almost overnight became a significant player to be reckoned with, as it has inherited the clients of both Elbit and Nice.
"Major defense and security companies find it more viable to deal with projects instead of selling cyber products due to issues of scale and profitability. This creates a situation wherein the market for small- to-medium-sized enterprises is almost never addressed," noted Baranes. "Consequently, CYBERBIT's ability to work with all types of companies to sell a product, in addition to full integration, places it in a unique and superior position."
For its astute business strategies and foresight, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present CYBERBIT with the 2015 Global Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has leveraged competitive intelligence to successfully execute a competitive strategy that results in stronger market share, competitive brand positioning and customer satisfaction.
