Tells the story of the global cyber industry that is protecting the computer you are probably using to read this sentence, with a special look at Israel’s central role. For example, fully 40% of the world’s VC money allocated to cyber is spent in Israel. The book explains why and how there is a strong and peculiar connection between the development of Israel’s army defense technology, and Israel’s booming cybersecurity and cyber intelligence industry, and how this eventually becomes frontline hacker protection for your computer, (through industry leading companies like Palo Alto Networks and Checkpoint --both founded by Israeli veterans).
If you are a cybersecurity professional who wants to understand the world of cyber risks, attackers, and opportunities, or a citizen of the world who wants to have a better understanding of the 21st century battle for computers, phones, the internet of things, AI, and autonomous cars, and who is defending them, this book is for you.
