Team8, a company founded by former Unit 8200 commander Nadav Zafrir and partners.
It's a firm that institutionalizes the pipeline from Israel's elite cyber unit into Silicon Valley.
It raised $18 million in seed funding from backers including Eric Schmidt, Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, and Bessemer, and runs a 'CISO Village' network of 600+ Fortune 500 chief security officers; 77% of those security chiefs expect AI to replace their analysts — using tools built by Team8's own cohorts.
It shows how elite military-intelligence talent gets converted into influence over the security backbone of major global corporations.
