Core offering

Force Majeure is an Israeli cybersecurity and digital forensics firm that delivers professional services to enterprises, government agencies, and law firms. Its core offerings include cyber risk assessments, penetration testing, CISO-as-a-Service, incident response, digital forensics and data recovery, and expert witness testimony. The firm leverages intelligence-community methodologies to produce defensible investigative findings for clients facing active cyber threats or pursuing legal action.

Product overview

Force Majeure is a cybersecurity services company offering a comprehensive portfolio of professional services rather than a unified software product. The core offering spans six interconnected service pillars: (1) Cyber Risk Assessment — security surveys, penetration testing, and supply chain risk reviews; (2) CISO as a Service — virtual security leadership and policy development; (3) Incident Response (DFIR) — cyber attack response, containment, and forensic investigation; (4) Digital Forensics & Cyber Investigations — computer, mobile, and network forensics with proprietary recovery methods and a forensic laboratory supporting JTAG and chip-off extraction; (5) Data Recovery — forensic-grade information restoration from mobile devices, computers, servers, and storage media; and (6) Spyphone Detection & Corporate Espionage — counter-surveillance services including the proprietary Spyphone protocol. Supporting services include Legal Support with expert witness testimony, eDiscovery, and digital notary services; Cybersecurity Awareness Training (Human Firewall); and specialized investigation services for private investigators and law firms. The company is staffed by veterans of elite Israeli intelligence and cyber units.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Cellebrite: Israeli-founded mobile forensics and digital intelligence company. Directly comparable: both specialize in mobile device forensics, data recovery, and digital evidence extraction with court-admissible standards. Cellebrite is a much larger, publicly-listed scale player; Force Majeure competes in the same niche at a boutique level.
• Sygnia: Israeli cyber consulting and incident response firm (acquired by Team8). Directly comparable: both are Israeli cyber firms offering DFIR, CISO advisory, and incident response services to enterprises. Sygnia is a closer direct peer in services and team composition (Unit 8200 alumni).
• Maglan Information Defense Technologies: Israeli boutique cybersecurity firm offering penetration testing, DFIR, and cyber intelligence. Comparable as a similarly-sized Israeli pure-play cyber services firm with intelligence-unit veteran consulting teams.
• Magnet Forensics: Canadian digital forensics software and investigation firm. Comparable product overlap in mobile and computer forensics, digital evidence recovery, and serving law enforcement and legal markets.
• MSAB (Micro Systemation): Swedish mobile forensics specialist offering XRY extraction tools used by law enforcement. Comparable in mobile device forensics methodology (chip-off, JTAG) and court-admissible evidence standards. Force Majeure uses similar advanced techniques.

Broad incumbents

• Check Point Software Technologies: Israeli cybersecurity giant covering network, endpoint, and cloud security. Comparable as an Israeli cyber firm but operating at vastly different scale and product-led business model. Reflects the broader competitive set in Israeli cyber.
• CyberArk: Israeli identity security and privileged access management firm. Israeli cyber incumbent operating at global scale; relevant as a benchmark for Israeli cybersecurity companies commercialising globally.
• Team8: Israeli cybersecurity think tank and venture builder that founded Sygnia. Comparable as a vehicle that scales Israeli cyber talent into commercial enterprises, though Force Majeure has not pursued this path.
• Stroz Friedberg (Aon Cyber): US-based digital forensics, incident response, and expert witness firm acquired by Aon. Comparable in incident response, electronic discovery, and expert witness testimony for litigation — Force Majeure's JND Legal Administration engagement mirrors typical Stroz Friedberg work.
• Elta Systems (Israel Aerospace Industries): Israeli defense electronics and cyber intelligence division of IAI. Comparable as an Israeli cyber defense and intelligence outfit serving government and military clients, though at vastly larger scale and product scope.
