Tamir Pardo Wikipedia
XM Cyber is an Israeli cybersecurity firm that was co-founded by former head of the Mossad Tamir Pardo. Globes reports that XM Cyber is now providing services to businesses in the Arab Gulf States which established peace treaties with Israel one year ago under the Abraham Accords.
XM Cyber will reportedly be offering its services to gas, oil, and financial industries in the various Gulf countries. The company had signed a cooperation agreement with Dubai-based Spire Solutions, soon after the Abraham Accords were sealed.
Globes also revealed that XM Cyber is working in Dubai as part of a consortium headed by Rafael to protect national infrastructures such as gas rigs, oil wells, ports and airports. Rafael formed this alliance to make it easier to promote cooperation deals between Israeli companies and UAE government companies. Rafael does the actual work so that not every Israeli company will need to conduct individual negotiations themselves.
