This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Senstar Technologies Ltd., formerly Magal Security Systems Ltd., is a provider of physical intrusion detection and video management systems. The company's perimeter security solutions, including fence sensors and integrated surveillance platforms, are marketed globally for critical infrastructure protection. These systems are deployed in active conflict zones, including along borders and around military installations, where they directly support the security operations of belligerent parties.
The company's technology has been integrated into security projects in regions of active armed conflict. While specific contract details are often confidential, the nature of the product—physical security for borders and strategic sites—means its deployment in conflict zones materially supports the military and security operations of the parties involved. There is no public evidence of an affirmative argument that Senstar's presence in these areas provides an essential civilian service that would leave the population materially worse off without it; its role is to harden security infrastructure.
Senstar Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Magal Security Systems, which claims 40% of the global perimeter security market. Magal has served as a major contractor for the Israeli Ministry of Defense, installing Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) along 170 km of the West Bank separation barrier.
The company's technology is deployed across multiple illegal settlements. Ariel, described as a "showpiece project," uses Magal's WLAN mesh network and PIDS for remote monitoring. Alfei Menashe, Karnei Shomron, Shilo, and Ma'ale Adumim also use Magal perimeter systems.
Senstar's "Smart-M" technology was explicitly identified in United Nations report A/HRC/43/71, which catalogues companies with economic activities in illegal settlements. Queen's University research on Canadian-Israeli defense ties, Shock Monitor, and the European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (ECCP) corroborate these deployments.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
