Sean O'Brien gave me the contact info for Mr. David Ovadia at MAFAT. I have included his contact info here.

If needed, I could send it to Mr. Barry Zebrak to see if he can fit a MAFAT appointment into my schedule for Sunday – or maybe we just need contact Major Liat one more time.

David Ovadia

Deputy Director for International Cooperation & Programs (DDR&D)

Directorate of Defense Research and Development (MAFAT)

State of Israel – Ministry of Defense

Hakirya Tel-Aviv 61909 Israel

Tel: +972-3-697-5709 or +972-3-697-5895

Email: david_ovadia@mod.gov.il (unclassified)

What is the best way to handle it?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Matan,

Here is the current itinerary for next week (as of right now). I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. The morning of the 31st in Beer Sheva is still a little light.

Good news: As you know, Professor Nadav Katz at Hebrew University of Jerusalem agreed to a meeting. That's a win. Maybe you or Major Gal spoke with him?

As we discussed this morning, if you or Major Gal have contacts at any of the following, please let me know:

- MAFAT (I emailed Maj Liat a few days ago, but have not yet heard back-- I forwarded you the email)

- Google AI -- no response to date from my U.S. contact at Google

- Intel Israel -- my contact at Intel in the USA is Mr. Greg Clifton, 703-543-7696 - office, 703-217-3088 - cell, greg.clifton@intel.com. He is having to work through various intermediaries to reach out to colleagues there.

- Technion

- Israeli National Cyber Directorate (INCD) (Ma'arach) -- Mr. Zebrak is reaching out to them for me

- An Israeli venture capital firm that would be worth visiting with students next April -- I tried the Viola Group and have not yet heard back from them

- Ben-Gurion University (BGU) Cyber Excellence Center -- I used their web portal contact system, and have not yet heard back from them.

- National Cyber Emergency Response Team (CERT) (part of NCSA and INCD) -- I used INCD's web portal contact system, and have not yet heard back from them.

- Gav Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park (the National CERT is inside, I understand)

I have good contacts at MassChallenge Texas who will help me reach the right people at MassChallenge Israel in Jerusalem. I met their Founder and former CEO last week in Cambridge, MA: Mr. John Harthorne, John@2L.vc.

Please send me the address for the Israel National Defense College (INDC) so I know where to meet you.

Thanks,

Andrew
