Convexum and Regulus Cyber CEOs to address drone security at TechCrunch’s Tel Aviv event

Israel is full of companies addressing the growing concern of drone security and we’re excited to announce the CEOs of Convexum and Regulus Cyber will speak on the topic at TechCrunch’s Tel Aviv Meetup + Pitch-off.

Consumer-grade drones are increasingly becoming a security concern as their prices drop and capabilities increase. Governments and private organizations are looking for ways to secure operations. Both Convexum and Regulus address the problem though through different means. Gilad Sahar’s Convexum developed a platform that takes over a malicious drone to allow it be landed safely while Yonatan Zur’s Regulus Cyber protects drones from remote hacking.

Both CEOs will take the stage at TechCrunch’s Tel Aviv Meetup + Pitch-off.

The event takes place at the end of June and we’re still looking for several companies to compete in the event’s pitch-off competition. Apply here. The first place winner gets a table in Startup Alley at the next TC Disrupt. Second place gets two tickets to the conference and the Audience Choice winner gets one ticket to the big show.

We’re excited to return to Tel Aviv. Last year’s event was amazing and we can’t stay away. General admission tickets are now available for purchase. We hope to see you there!
