How Israel Became a Cybersecurity Superpower: A Fireside Chat With Chuck Freilich, Former Israeli Deputy National Security Adviser
Description
Amongst Israel's enemies, there are many fronts in war: In
addition to the physical threats marshalled against the Jewish State such as
terrorism, there are others, such as the attempts to delegitimize and demonize
the country in the eyes of the world, namely in the form of the BDS movement.
But there is yet another front, often unknown to the general
public: cyber warfare, where state and non-state actors attempt to cause harm
to Israel via cyber attacks against important targets.
And while these threats are very real to Israel, the country

Freilich joins us on this week's podcast, and

headlines, how Israel has responded so far, and the storm clouds on the
horizon.
