IDF Computer Systems Targeted by Billions of Cyberattacks during War
(Ha'aretz) Oded Yaron - Col. Racheli Dembinski, commander of the IDF's Center of Computers and Information Systems, said Wednesday that the number of attempted cyberattacks on IDF computer systems has reached 3 billion since the war started. All the attacks were foiled, she added, noting that they did not lead to even one occasion in which the army's systems had been taken out of service. During the war's first few weeks, due to "the huge number of users who entered our system," her unit focused on regulating resources and adding new servers. They also increased their reliance on the civil cloud systems by collaborating with companies such as Google and Amazon, who are members of the army's cloud computing Nimbus project.
