The company said the appointments are aimed at strengthening its focus on protecting operational technology (OT) and internet-of-things (IoT) environments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Cyber 2.0 said it is designed to prevent the spread of cyberattacks within organizations, including those that bypass existing security layers, and that it can operate across open and closed IT and OT networks. The company did not disclose financial terms tied to the advisory roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Flores said he had not encountered a solution as effective for protecting OT and IoT systems, calling the approach distinctive for industrial controllers and IoT components such as cameras and edge devices. Cyber 2.0 said Flores is now a senior partner at OODA LLC and a venture partner at Guardian Ventures, and advises multiple technology companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Peshin, described by the company as a cybersecurity and artificial intelligence expert, previously held senior roles at Israel Aerospace Industries, Waterfall Security Solutions, and Verint Systems, and served for 11 years in an elite IDF technology unit, according to the statement. Cyber 2.0 said Peshin views its system as providing a capability that has been missing in OT and IoT environments.<\/p>\n<p>Cyber 2.0 has positioned its technology as a way to stop lateral movement, the spread of malicious activity from one device or segment to another, especially in industrial and air-gapped environments. In earlier reporting, The Jerusalem Post described Cyber 2.0\u2019s OT and IoT offering as a \u201clast-line\u201d defense intended to block attack propagation before it reaches industrial controllers, in a December 31, 2025 report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The appointments come as Israeli and Western security officials increasingly warn that adversaries are&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/business-and-innovation\/tech-and-start-ups\/article-886680\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two senior cybersecurity figures join Cyber 2.0 https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/business-and-innovation\/tech-and-start-ups\/article-886680 Publish Date: 2026-02-15 05:46:00 Source Domain: www.jpost.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":213714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.jpost.com\/image\/upload\/f_auto,fl_lossy\/q_auto\/c_fill,g_faces:center,h_720,w_1280\/706467","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-213713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213713"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213713"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":213715,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213713\/revisions\/213715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
