【200520 Ctech】As the Middle East cyber wars heat up with reports of reciprocal attacks by Iran and Israel on each other’s infrastructure networks, a major deal is taking place in the Israeli cybersecurity ecosystem. American Investment firm Charlesbank Technology Opportunities Fund, managed by Charlesbank Capital Partners, has invested $70 million in Elbit Systems' subsidiary, Cyberbit Ltd..

【谷歌翻译 未经校对】随着中东网络战争的热烈报道，伊朗和以色列相互攻击对方的基础设施网络，以色列的网络安全生态系统正在发生重大交易。由查尔斯银行资本合伙人管理的美国投资公司查尔斯银行技术机会基金已向Elbit Systems的子公司Cyberbit Ltd.投资了7,000万美元。

According to an announcement by Elbit, roughly $48 million was paid for Elbit Systems' shares in the company, and the remaining $22 million was invested in Cyberbit. As a result of the investment and the sale of its shares, Elbit Systems will become a minority shareholder in Cyberbit. Claridge Israel, which invested $30 million in Cyberbit two years ago, also participated in the round.

根据Elbit的公告，大约以4800万美元的价格购买了Elbit Systems的股份，其余的2200万美元投资了Cyberbit。通过投资和出售股票，Elbit Systems将成为Cyberbit的少数股东。以色列的克拉里奇（Claridge Israel）也参与了这一轮融资。两年前，以色列人在赛博比特投资了3000万美元。

Cyberbit employs 150 people who work out of its headquarters and development center in central Israel and in additional offices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The company was founded as a spinoff of Elbit Systems in order to increase cyber teams’ ability and readiness to cope with sophisticated attacks. Most of Cyberbit's clients are large businesses, but it also works with state defense organizations.

Cyberbit拥有150名员工，这些员工在其位于以色列中部的总部和开发中心以及在美国，欧洲和亚洲的其他办事处工作。该公司成立时是Elbit Systems的子公司，目的是提高网络团队的能力和战胜复杂攻击的能力。Cyberbit的大多数客户都是大型企业，但它也与国家国防组织合作。

Despite significant investment in cybersecurity tools, most organizations don’t invest enough in training their cyber teams to deal with threats, and when attacks take place, they are not always able to respond effectively due to lack of detection skills, insufficient operational experience, or poor teamwork under pressure. Cyberbit provides a cloud technology based simulation module called Cyber Range that enables remote training and home-based training. According to a company statement, the product “delivers a hyper-realistic experience, that replicates a real-world cyberattack by immersing trainees in a virtual security operations center, where they use commercial security tools to respond to live, simulated attacks.”

尽管在网络安全工具方面进行了大量投资，但大多数组织仍未投入足够的资金来培训其网络团队以应对威胁，并且在发生攻击时，由于缺乏检测技能，操作经验不足或在压力下团队合作不佳。Cyberbit提供了一种基于云技术的模拟模块，称为Cyber Range，可实现远程培训和基于家庭的培训。根据公司的一份声明，该产品“提供了超真实的体验，通过将受训人员沉浸在虚拟安全运营中心中来复制真实世界的网络攻击，他们在其中使用商业安全工具来应对实时模拟攻击。”

During the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis Cyberbit experienced a sharp increase in demand for its cloud-based product since many companies who had to halt training due to travel bans and lockdown regulations, turned to Cyberbit to continue to maintain staff readiness.

在冠状病毒（Covid-19）危机期间，由于许多公司由于旅行禁令和封锁规定而不得不停止培训，因此，赛博比特公司对其基于云的产品的需求急剧增加，因此求助于赛博比特公司继续保持员工的就绪状态。 

"Preparing the human element for cyber-attacks is one of the most acute cybersecurity challenges. The investment of Charlesbank in Cyberbit is a recognition of Cyberbit's market-leading position and the growth potential of Cyberbit's training platform – the Cyber Range. I am confident that this investment will allow Cyberbit to realize its full growth potential, "Elbit Systems CEO and President Bezalel Machlis said in a statement.

“为网络攻击准备人为因素是最严峻的网络安全挑战之一。查尔斯银行对赛博比特的投资是对赛比特比特市场领导地位和赛比特比特培训平台–赛博比特范围的增长潜力的认可。我是充满信心的是，这项投资将使Cyberbit充分发挥其增长潜力，” Elbit Systems首席执行官兼总裁Bezalel Machlis在一份声明中说。
