The Israeli C4I and Cyber Defense Directorate (Hebrew: אגף התקשוב וההגנה בסייבר, Agaf Ha-Tikshuv VeHaHagana Basayber) is the Israel Defense Forces body which charts the communication, wireless transmission, computerization, command and control over and defense of military and intelligence information in the IDF. The Directorate was created on March 3, 2003, on the basis of some functions previously held by the C4I Corps. The Directorate is also responsible for Cyber Defense in the IDF, a fact which has led to the name of the Directorate being changed to "C4I and Cyber Defense Directorate" in May 2017.
