The Israeli Homeland Security Industry

Israeli companies are involved in security projects worldwide, as prime contractors or partners. Israeli security services and technologies are involved in securing major sports, entertainment, and mega-public events worldwide, including the Olympic Games in Atlanta and Athens. Israeli security systems protect the Vatican and the Eiffel Tower, as well as JFK airport in New York City, Heathrow in London, and Changi in Singapore. On November 9-12, 2014, Israel will host the 3rd International Conference for Homeland Security.
