The Israeli J6/C4I & Cyber Defense Directorate (Hebrew: ??? ??????? Agaf Ha-Tik?uv, seldom abbreviated to Atak) is the Israel Defense Forces body which charts the communication, wireless transmission, computerization, command and control over and defense of 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 "The J6/C4I & Cyber Defense Directorate" in May 2017.
The directorate is headed by Aluf Lior Carmeli.
