Titanium Core, a cyber-security spin-out of Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, have secured $1m from early-stage cyber-security firm Jerusalem Venture Partners.

The team competed against 34 other cyber-security firms at a hacking event in California to attract the investment, where firms showed off ability to rebel cyber-attacks in real time.

Dudu Mimram, co-founder and chief technology officer for Titanium Core, said: “Our patented technology can provide an unbreakable security layer around core, mission-critical systems… This funding, along with the guidance of the Cyber Labs incubator, will allow us to bring our vision to market and ensure that this technology can be used to protect the world’s critical IT assets.”
