“What (Unit) 8200 has been able to do is create a pretty unique, and very effective, screening program, which for the most part lets you identify not the people with the most knowledge, but rather the people with the aptitude to learn new technologies, ideas very, very quickly,” Nadav Zafrir, co-founder and CEO of Team8, told CNBC.
Team8 is an Israeli company, founded by veterans from the intelligence agency, that is part-think tank, part-incubator and part-venture creation foundry that develops cybersecurity startups from the ground up. Prior to co-founding Team8, Zafrir was the chief of Unit 8200.
Gil Shwed, who co-founded Check Point, was a member of Unit 8200, as was Udi Mokady of CyberArk and Nir Zuk of Palo Alto Networks.
Unit 8200 starts identifying talent in Israel as early as high school. Candidates are screened based on grades and recommendations from their schools, Liran Grinberg, co-founder of Team8 and another Unit 8200 veteran, explained to CNBC.
