Entro Security Ltd., a new Israeli cybersecurity startup that just released ts Entro platform, raised $6 million in Seed funding led by StageOne Ventures and Hyperwise Ventures. Meanwhile, Israel’s Ministry of Defense said the country transferred two M–346 training aircraft to the Greek Hellenic Air Force as part of a defense cooperation agreement between Greece and Israel.
The two M–346s are the first of 10 aircraft expected under the Government-to-Government agreement between the Hellenic and Israeli Defense Ministries, with Israel’s defense corporation Elbit Systems undertaking the creation of an International Flight Training Center at 120 ΑΤW Kalamata. The aircraft are equipped with Elbit Systems’ integrated virtual avionics that simulate combat and flight scenarios in order to bring the training experience of the pilots to the highest level. The M-346 aircraft are expected to fly thousands of hours per year.
Elbit Systems explained that Manufactured by Leonardo, the M-346 is a twin-engine, tandem-seat aircraft with fully digital flight controls and avionics. It is equipped with a fly-by-wire control system and has an interface with Head-Up Displays (HUD).The training systems features integrated on-board technology that simulates tactical training and is completed by the Ground Based Training System that optimizes fleet and simulator management. The handling of the M-346 is similar to that of next-generation combat aircraft maximizing the flight training of pilots.

The Greek Minister of Defense, Mr. Nikos Panagiotopoulos, said, “The new International Flight Training Center is the result of many efforts by the Greek State, the Ministry of National Defense, in order to achieve the best possible solution for the training of new pilots of the Greek Air Force. The Israeli side and Elbit Systems offered the most adaptable and understandable approach in the field of flight training. Our ambition is that the International Flight Training Center will provide basic, advanced and operational flight training to all airmen and over a period of 22 years using T-6 and M-346 aircraft.
Founded by CEO Itzik Alvas – a graduate of the elite cybersecurity unit of the IDF – and CTO Adam Cheriki, Entro Security calls itself a revolutionary cyber holistic security platform that offers end-to-end protection for secrets and programmatic access to cloud services and data. With Entro, says the firm, CISOs and cyber security professionals enjoy “comprehensive oversight, ensuring uncompromised protection for their organizations.”
Entro Security says its Entro platform offers real-time monitoring and protection, allowing clients to monitor abnormal behavior surrounding your secrets, detect risks coupled with remediation recommendations. It also offers full visibility of an organization’s secrets, including the owner, enablement status, permission, correlated service, and risk level.
“We spoke with more than a hundred CISOs and heard the same complaints over and over,” said Itzik Alvas, Entro CEO. “Companies have no idea how many secrets they hold in the cloud, where they are, who is using them, and most importantly, how to protect them.”
Alvas explained why he founded Entro Security saying, “as a cybersecurity professional, I was frustrated that there was no comprehensive solution to the secrets security problem. I knew I had to do something to address this critical issue and help organizations safeguard their sensitive secrets keys.”
