Israel Aims to Become a Cybersecurity Superpower
(Washington Post) William Booth and Ruth Eglash - At a conference earlier this month devoted to cybersecurity, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu described the Israeli military's cyber-units as locked in constant battle with "hacktivists" and state-sponsored actors, such as Iran, in daily duels.
