Claims unverifiable at primary source level are explicitly flagged. No scores, tiers, or scoring conclusions are assigned.

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

SentinelOne — Confirmed, Core Dependency

SentinelOne is an Israeli-founded cybersecurity company with its primary R&D headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel. It holds a confirmed, publicly announced strategic partnership with both Aston Martin Lagonda and the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team. The relationship was first publicly disclosed in February 2024¹ and formally extended in 2025.²

SentinelOne carries the designation “Official Cybersecurity Partner” of the AMF1 team, with branding appearing on AMR24 and AMR25 F1 livery and team kit.¹²
AML has deployed the SentinelOne Singularity Platform across its enterprise IT estate, encompassing manufacturing sites at Gaydon (UK headquarters) and St Athan (Wales), corporate functions, and F1 team infrastructure.³
Confirmed platform modules include endpoint protection (EPP/EDR) and the Vigilance MDR (Managed Detection & Response) service. The Vigilance MDR component means SentinelOne security analysts hold an active, operational role in Aston Martin’s incident response function — this is a core security infrastructure dependency, not a peripheral licensing arrangement.³
Aston Martin’s Director of IT (Steve O’Connor) and CIO (Clare Lansley) are named by SentinelOne in its published customer case study, providing direct testimonials confirming the deployment’s scope.³
The AMF1 team’s official website published a “Future Makers” editorial feature on SentinelOne CEO Tomer Weingarten, indicating an active content and marketing partnership beyond pure technology licensing.⁴

Salesforce — Confirmed, Including Israeli-Heritage IP

Aston Martin holds a confirmed, publicly announced relationship with Salesforce as a core CRM, data, and customer experience platform.⁵⁶ Salesforce is documented as a central pillar of AML’s digital customer strategy.

In August 2019, Salesforce acquired ClickSoftware — an Israeli-founded company headquartered in Jerusalem — for approximately $1.35 billion. ClickSoftware’s scheduling and field service optimisation technology was integrated into what became Salesforce Field Service (formerly Field Service Lightning), carrying Israeli-origin IP into the Salesforce product suite.⁷
References to Aston Martin’s use of Salesforce for mobile technician dispatch (the “Flying Spanner” programme) appear in Salesforce partner ecosystem publications.⁷ The specific use of the Field Service module (which carries ClickSoftware IP) is referenced in partner-tier materials but has not been confirmed in a primary AML or Salesforce corporate press release. This is probable but unconfirmed at primary source level; flagged for direct verification.
Makepositive is documented as Aston Martin’s Salesforce implementation partner. Makepositive was subsequently acquired by Sabio Group.⁸

Orpheus Cyber — Confirmed, UK-Domiciled

Aston Martin’s use of Orpheus Cyber for threat intelligence management is confirmed by a published Orpheus case study dated January 2025.⁹ Orpheus Cyber is a UK-domiciled firm headquartered in London; it is not Israeli-origin. No evidence was identified that Orpheus’s threat data pipelines rely on Israeli-origin intelligence feeds; claims to this effect in prior analysis are unsupported inference and are not reproduced here.

Google Cloud and AWS — Confirmed Commercial Relationships; Project Nimbus Context Noted

Aston Martin’s use of Google Cloud (for vehicle configurator, immersive digital experiences) is confirmed by a Google Cloud customer story.¹⁰
Aston Martin’s use of AWS (for data analytics and AI-driven sales tooling, delivered via Data Reply) is confirmed by an AWS Partner Network success story.¹¹
Both Google (Google Cloud) and Amazon (AWS) are co-awardees of Project Nimbus, the Israeli government’s $1.2 billion sovereign cloud infrastructure contract covering military and civilian state applications. This is a confirmed, widely reported fact. Aston Martin does not appear on any Project Nimbus contractor list and does not provide services under that contract; its relevance is as a commercial customer of the same cloud infrastructure providers that hold the Nimbus award.

CoreWeave — Confirmed AI Cloud Partner, US-Domiciled

CoreWeave is confirmed as the “Official AI Cloud Computing Partner” of the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team, announced in 2024.¹²¹³ CoreWeave is a US-domiciled company (New Jersey / New York); it is not Israeli-origin.

Cognizant — Former F1 Title Partner

Cognizant served as title partner of the Aston Martin F1 team from the team’s 2021 return to the grid through 2023.⁶ Cognizant is a US-domiciled IT services company. Its relevance to the technology stack is as a former named partner that would have held access to team data and operational systems during that period.

Unverified Relationships — No public evidence identified

The following technology relationships were asserted in prior analysis but cannot be confirmed at primary source level from any press release, corporate filing, vendor case study, or technology trade press record reviewed. They are included here to document the evidentiary gap.

Check Point Software Technologies: No direct procurement or licensing relationship between AML and Check Point identified. The sole cited source documents a Check Point–Wiz vendor partnership, which does not name Aston Martin.¹⁴
Wiz (cloud security): No primary evidence of an AML–Wiz relationship. Prior inference was drawn from AML’s use of Google Cloud and AWS combined with Wiz’s cloud platform integrations — this is structural inference, not documentary evidence.
CyberArk (identity / PAM): A 2022 CyberArk–SentinelOne product integration partnership is documented.¹⁵ This is a vendor-to-vendor arrangement; no AML–CyberArk relationship appears in any primary source.
NICE / Verint / Genesys (contact centre / CX): The cited inferential chain — Tata Communications partnering with NICE¹⁶, combined with Tata’s sponsorship of the AMF1 team — does not constitute evidence of AML deploying NICE, Verint, or Genesys technology in its operational environment. No public evidence of a direct AML relationship with any of these vendors identified.
Monday.com: Monday.com is a Tel Aviv-headquartered work management platform. No primary Monday.com case study, AML corporate announcement, or verified trade press article confirms a named Aston Martin enterprise deployment. No public evidence identified.
Wix: No primary evidence that Aston Martin uses Wix for any microsite or digital property. No public evidence identified.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Avigilon / BriefCam — Confirmed at Franchised Dealer Level Only

Camera Security Services, a UK CCTV systems integrator, is documented as having supplied an Avigilon IP CCTV system to Dick Lovett, a franchised Aston Martin dealer group operating in the UK.¹⁷¹⁸
Avigilon is a Motorola Solutions subsidiary. Motorola Solutions acquired BriefCam — an Israeli video analytics company founded in Jerusalem in 2008 — in 2018. BriefCam’s “Video Synopsis” and “Appearance Search” video intelligence technology has been integrated into Motorola Solutions’ and Avigilon’s video management platform stack.¹⁸
Critical caveat: Dick Lovett is an independent franchised dealer, not an AML corporate-owned location. The Avigilon procurement is Dick Lovett’s operational decision, not Aston Martin Lagonda’s. No evidence exists that AML corporate headquarters specified, mandated, or approved Avigilon systems in dealer showrooms as part of a retail standards programme.
No evidence of Avigilon or BriefCam-derived video analytics deployment at AML-owned facilities — including Gaydon HQ, St Athan manufacturing plant, or AML-operated showrooms — has been identified in any primary source. No public evidence of corporate-level AML deployment identified.

Gentex Camera Monitoring System

In January 2020, Aston Martin and Gentex jointly announced a camera monitoring system (CMS) debuted at CES 2020, replacing conventional exterior door mirrors with camera-and-display units.¹⁹ Gentex is a US-domiciled company (Zeeland, Michigan); it is not Israeli-origin.
Kappa Optronics, a German firm, is documented in the context of providing camera components for digital mirror systems in the same timeframe.²⁰ Kappa Optronics is not Israeli-origin.

Facial Recognition, Biometrics & Predictive Surveillance

No verified use of any Israeli-origin facial recognition, biometric authentication, predictive policing, social media monitoring, or workforce surveillance platform at AML corporate or retail sites has been identified. Vendors assessed and found without evidentiary basis for an AML relationship include: AnyVision/Oosto, Trigo, Trax, and Corsight AI.

No public evidence identified. Source classes checked: AML corporate filings, ICO (UK Information Commissioner’s Office) public enforcement notices, CCTV and physical security trade press, NGO surveillance technology reports.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Data Centre Operations in Israel

Aston Martin Lagonda does not operate, lease, or co-locate data centre or cloud infrastructure within Israel. No evidence appears in AML annual reports (2021–2023)²⁰, corporate location disclosures, or any technology press record. No public evidence identified.

Project Nimbus — Indirect Exposure via Cloud Providers

As noted above, AML is a confirmed commercial customer of both Google Cloud¹⁰ and AWS¹¹. Both cloud providers are co-awardees of Israel’s Project Nimbus contract (awarded 2021), which provides cloud infrastructure to Israeli government ministries and the Israeli Defense Forces. AML is not a Nimbus contractor, sub-contractor, or named participant. Its cloud workloads (vehicle configurator, sales analytics, AI tooling) run on commercial tiers of these platforms. The Nimbus relationship is documented here as contextual infrastructure-level information.

Sovereign Cloud Contracts — No Direct Participation

No evidence of AML participation in any Israeli government or military cloud procurement, digital infrastructure programme, or sovereign cloud initiative. No public evidence identified.

Data Residency

AML’s Annual Report²⁰ does not disclose specific data residency jurisdictions for customer or operational data. No primary source specifies whether AML data processed via Google Cloud or AWS is routed through, stored in, or replicated to Israeli AWS/GCP regions. This represents an unresolved evidence gap.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Military & Intelligence Contracts

No contract, partnership, service agreement, or documented relationship between Aston Martin Lagonda and the Israeli Ministry of Defence, the Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet, Mossad, or any affiliated procurement entity has been identified. No public evidence identified.

St Athan — Defence-Adjacent Manufacturing Site

Aston Martin’s St Athan facility in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, is a verified secondary manufacturing site, producing the DBX SUV alongside continuation and specialist vehicle programmes.²¹ The site is located on a former Ministry of Defence airfield and is co-located with General Dynamics UK (GDUK), a US-headquartered defence contractor. The UK Defence Secretary visited both Aston Martin and GDUK at St Athan in 2021.²²

The co-location with GDUK is a documented site geography fact. No evidence exists of technology integration, data sharing, joint procurement, or operational linkage between AML’s St Athan operations and GDUK or any Israeli defence entity.
Claims in prior analysis that Israeli perimeter security technology vendors (Magal Security Systems / Senstar) supply fencing or surveillance systems at St Athan are entirely speculative and unsupported by any documentary evidence. These claims are discarded.
G4S’s historical involvement in Israeli prison and checkpoint security is documented by human rights organisations (G4S divested those Israeli contracts approximately 2016). No verified primary source confirms G4S holds a specific operational security contract at AML’s St Athan site, nor connects any such arrangement to Israeli operations. No public evidence of a G4S–St Athan–Israel nexus identified.

Dual-Use Technology

No AML commercial technology has been reported, confirmed, or documented as deployed for Israeli military, intelligence, law enforcement, or border control purposes. No public evidence identified.

Offensive Cyber / Weapons Systems

Aston Martin is a luxury automotive manufacturer with no documented involvement in offensive cyber capability development, autonomous weapons systems, or defence technology R&D for state military customers. No public evidence identified.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

Mobileye / ADAS — Structurally Plausible, Unconfirmed at Primary Source Level

Mobileye is an Intel company headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel, and the globally dominant supplier of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) computer vision SoCs to the automotive industry.²³

Aston Martin’s current production vehicles — including the DBX SUV and DB12 grand tourer — incorporate ADAS functions such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM).¹⁷²⁴
Aston Martin sources its electronic/electrical (E/E) architecture and powertrain technologies under a strategic supply agreement with Mercedes-Benz AG, publicly disclosed in AML investor communications.²⁵²⁰ Mercedes-Benz is a confirmed Mobileye customer across multiple vehicle lines, using EyeQ-series SoCs for camera-based ADAS.
The structural logic — AML relies on Mercedes E/E architecture; Mercedes deploys Mobileye EyeQ; therefore Mobileye SoCs may be present in AML vehicles sharing that architecture — is coherent and represents the most probable pathway. However, no primary source — not Aston Martin, not Mercedes-Benz, not Mobileye — has specifically confirmed that Mobileye EyeQ silicon is present in named Aston Martin production models. The ADAS functions documented in AML media materials²⁴ could, in principle, be delivered via alternative silicon or a different sub-tier supplier within the Mercedes architecture. Assessment: UNVERIFIED at primary source level. Flagged as a significant evidence gap requiring direct OEM or Tier-1 supplier confirmation.
Mobileye Road Experience Management (REM): Mobileye’s REM programme — a fleet-scale mapping data harvesting system that collects and transmits anonymised road geometry and condition data from vehicles equipped with EyeQ chips — is a real, documented Mobileye product feature.²³ Its applicability to any Aston Martin vehicles is entirely contingent on the unconfirmed Mobileye supply relationship described above. No independent evidence that AML vehicles participate in REM data collection has been identified.

Mobileye / SRO Esports Racing — Co-Presence, Not a Bilateral Relationship

Mobileye was confirmed as the title sponsor of the SRO Esports Racing Series.²⁶ Aston Martin vehicles participate in SRO-sanctioned motorsport championships (GT3/GT4), and the AML customer racing programme engages with SRO events. This places Mobileye branding in the same competitive environment as Aston Martin but constitutes a sponsor-championship arrangement, not a commercial technology agreement between Aston Martin and Mobileye. Verified as factual co-presence only.

Valens Semiconductor — Unverified

Valens Semiconductor is an Israeli company (Hod Hasharon) producing HDBaseT and MIPI A-PHY automotive connectivity chips used for in-vehicle sensor and camera data transmission. Prior analysis referenced a trade publication context in which Valens and Aston Martin were mentioned. No primary source directly confirming a named Aston Martin–Valens supply agreement has been identified. No public evidence identified.

CoreWeave AI Workloads — F1 Team

The AMF1 team’s use of CoreWeave for AI cloud computing workloads (simulation, telemetry, performance modelling) is confirmed.¹²¹³ CoreWeave is US-domiciled; this does not represent an Israeli-origin AI relationship.

AI Provision to Israeli State Bodies

No evidence of AML providing, licensing, or co-developing AI or algorithmic systems for Israeli state, military, law enforcement, or intelligence bodies. No public evidence identified.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Israeli R&D Facilities

Aston Martin Lagonda does not operate any R&D facility, engineering office, innovation lab, technology accelerator, or design studio within Israel. This is consistent across AML Annual Reports (2021–2023)²⁰ and all publicly available corporate location disclosures, which list facilities at Gaydon (Warwickshire, UK), St Athan (Wales, UK), and a design studio at Wellesbourne (UK). No public evidence identified.

Acquisitions and Investments in Israeli Technology

Aston Martin has made no acquisition of an Israeli-origin technology company and holds no documented strategic investment in Israeli technology start-ups, venture capital funds with Israeli portfolio exposure, or Israeli technology accelerator programmes. No public evidence identified.

Patent and IP Co-Development with Israeli Institutions

No patent co-filings, licensing arrangements, or joint IP development agreements between AML and Israeli academic or research institutions — including the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, or the Weizmann Institute of Science — have been identified in patent databases or AML R&D disclosures available in training data. No public evidence identified.

Wider Ecosystem Relationships

Cognizant (former F1 title partner, 2021–2023) held a technology partnership encompassing IT services access to team operational systems.⁶ Cognizant is US-domiciled.
Data Reply served as the delivery partner for Aston Martin’s AWS-based data analytics and AI-driven sales tooling programme.¹¹ Data Reply is an Italian-German consulting group; it is not Israeli-origin.
AML’s EV strategy, announced in June 2023, is centred on developing ultra-luxury electric vehicles and references technology partnerships for battery and powertrain systems.²⁵ No Israeli-origin technology vendor is named in this disclosure.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

NGO and Academic Reports

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC) engaged Aston Martin Lagonda as part of a 2021 investigation into automotive supply chain exposure to alleged forced labour practices in the Uyghur region of Xinjiang, China.²⁷ This inquiry concerned labour supply chain practices, not Israeli technology relationships. AML’s appearance in this dataset is alongside other automotive OEMs responding to the same Uyghur supply chain research; it does not constitute a discrete finding specific to AML, nor does it relate to Israeli technology procurement.
The Wikipedia article “List of companies involved in the Gaza war”²⁸ does not list Aston Martin as a subject entity. Prior analysis suggesting AML appears in a “reporting cluster” alongside NSO Group in a shared NGO database is a mischaracterisation: the BHRRC queried automotive OEMs on Uyghur supply chains and queried NSO Group on high-risk technology exports as entirely separate research tracks within the same database. These are not linked findings and should not be treated as such.
No NGO report, academic study, UN Special Rapporteur report, or independent investigation specifically examining Aston Martin’s technology relationships with the Israeli state, Israeli defence entities, or Israeli surveillance technology vendors has been identified.

Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Campaigns

No organised BDS campaign specifically targeting Aston Martin for its technology relationships with Israeli entities has been identified. Source classes checked: BDS Movement official communications, Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK (PSC), Stop the Wall, Amnesty International technology sector reports, Who Profits Research Center publications. No public evidence identified.

Regulatory and Legal Actions

No regulatory inquiry, export control enforcement action, sanctions-related investigation, or judicial proceeding involving Aston Martin’s technology relationships with Israeli state entities or Israeli-origin technology vendors has been identified. No public evidence identified.

Aston Martin Israel — Franchised Dealer Relationship

Aston Martin Israel is a confirmed franchised dealership located in Herzliya Pituach, Israel, established under a dealer agreement with a group led by Haim Danino, as reported by Israeli business newspaper Globes in 2013.²⁹ The Globes article reported that Haim Danino is the brother of former Israeli Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino; this claim appears in a single Israeli-language business report and has not been independently corroborated by a second primary source in training data — it is noted but flagged as requiring independent verification.

A franchised dealer arrangement is a standard commercial retail relationship governed by a distribution agreement. It does not constitute a technology partnership, data-sharing arrangement, IT integration, or operational link between AML’s corporate technology estate and Israeli law enforcement, security, or intelligence bodies. The current operational status of this dealership (ownership, continuity since 2013) has not been independently verified against AML’s live global dealer locator.

Shared Legal Counsel — Discarded Claim

Prior analysis claimed a relationship between Aston Martin and Cellebrite (Israeli digital forensics) via shared representation by Latham & Watkins. Latham & Watkins is one of the world’s largest law firms routinely representing thousands of unrelated corporate clients. Shared legal counsel between unrelated clients does not constitute or indicate a business, ideological, technology, or operational relationship. This analytical inference is discarded as invalid and is not reproduced as a finding.
