Magal Security Systems was established in 1965 as a department within Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) before becoming an independent perimeter security company. For decades, Magal traded publicly on NASDAQ under the ticker MAGS. In 2021, the company underwent a corporate split: its Israeli-based project and integration division, which retained the Magal name, was acquired by Aeronautics Ltd. (a subsidiary of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems) for $35 million. The remaining global product division was rebranded as Senstar Technologies (NASDAQ: SNT). Magal operates out of its headquarters in Yehud, Israel.

Magal specializes in physical and electronic perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), video management software (VMS), and access control systems. Its historical core competency is securing critical infrastructure, national borders, airports, and seaports. The company is specifically known for its taut-wire perimeter fence technology, which has been deployed heavily along Israel's borders, alongside fiber-optic sensors and volumetric detection systems. Following the 2021 acquisition by Aeronautics, Magal acts primarily as a homeland security system integrator executing complex turn-key projects.

Magal is headquartered in Yehud, central Israel. Its technology and integration operations are deeply tied to the Israeli defense establishment, working with the IDF and the Ministry of Defense on border security and facility protection. As a subsidiary of Aeronautics, the company currently operates within the broader Rafael Advanced Defense Systems ecosystem in Israel.
