Israel’s cybersecurity industry posted a record-setting year in 2024, securing private investment equal to 40% of the total raised by the U.S. market and nearly doubling the funding volume from 2023, according to a new report released on Thursday.
The findings, based on data from the Finder business platform, place Israel firmly at the forefront of digital security innovation even as European and Asian markets shrank amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
The 2025 Cybersecurity Spotlight, published by Startup Nation Central (SNC) outlines the sector’s rapid expansion and global influence, fueled by investor confidence in Israel’s unique blend of military-grade expertise, early-stage innovation, and scalable startups. SNC is a Tel Aviv-based non-profit that promotes Israeli startups and innovation.
According to the report, cybersecurity companies make up only 7% of Israel’s 7,000-plus tech companies, but drew 38% of all tech investment in 2024.
