Ono Academic College has unveiled Israel’s first MBA with a Cyber-Security and Forensics specialization, an innovative program poised to reshape the intersection of business leadership and digital defense. This unique one-year-and-three-month hybrid degree combines core business administration coursework—such as strategy, finance, and leadership—with intensive training in cyber defense, crisis management, digital regulation, and forensics.
Tailored even for those without prior technical backgrounds, the program equips future business leaders to face evolving digital threats. Graduates earn not only an MBA but also specialization credentials in Cyber Security and Forensics, plus additional certifications like Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Cyber Expert through embedded directors’ courses.
Led by Rami Tamam, a veteran of Israel’s elite cyber-forensics field and former commander of police cyber investigation units, the curriculum emphasizes practical simulation and real-world applications—offering direct exposure to emergency management, encryption strategy, and legal aspects of cyber crimes
This initiative reflects Ono’s broader mission to produce highly relevant, socially responsive programs. As Israel increasingly faces cyber threats—from state-sponsored actors to criminal enterprises—the launch of this degree underscores the vital need for professionals skilled in both strategic business acumen and cyber resilience.
