Far more than just code

In an era where the digital world is the main arena, cyber knowledge is no longer a luxury - it is a necessity. Our programs deliver far more than technical knowledge: they build analytical thinking, digital responsibility and the ability to recognize danger in real time, turning students from easy prey into a smart line of defense.

Marcotech Cyber Solutions is one of Israel's leading cyber companies. The content was built and is delivered together with Gabriel Marcus, the company's founder, a cyber architect and CTF world champion. UltraSmart brings the educational experience, production capability and access to schools - together we bring real-world professional content into classrooms, in language students understand.

Both programs are approved in the Gefen system and can be ordered directly through it by program number. Sessions are delivered in schools nationwide.

The Cyber Lecture by Gabriel Marcus

Awareness, defense and threat recognition - a lecture for organizations

Gabriel Marcus, founder of Marcotech and a cyber and information security architect, is a CTF world champion with over 25 years of experience. OSCP certified, an expert in DevSecOps, cyber risk management and organizational awareness, he advises and lectures internationally for government, defense, banking and financial organizations.

In a world where everyone is a potential target, knowledge is the best defense. Through real examples from the field, Gabriel turns a complex subject into something clear, accessible and practical for any audience.

  • Phishing recognition - spotting fake SMS, WhatsApp messages and emails that try to steal data.
  • Phone fraud and impersonation - how attackers apply pressure and fear, and how not to fall for it.
  • Protecting personal data - strong passwords, two-factor authentication and digital privacy.
  • AI and deepfake fraud - recognizing fake voices and images, the new threat everyone must know.
  • Golden rules for safe use - never click without checking, never share a code over the phone.
