Last week’s Pentagon report disclosing the breach that allowed Chinese hackers to infiltrate some of America’s most advanced weapons systems reveals the U.S.’s gaping online vulnerabilities and compels U.S. leaders to make cyber-security an issue of national priority.
Given Israel’s ranking as the world leader for cyber-security by Switzerland’s International Institute for Management Development in their 2013 World Competitiveness Yearbook, I spoke to two of Israel’s preeminent cyber-security entrepreneurs, ThetaRay chief executive Mark Gazit, and Jerusalem Venture Partners partner Yoav Tzruya, to learn more about the growing threat of cyber-espionage, and available countermeasures to protect America’s critical infrastructures. I met with them at The Israel Conference, which took place last week at L.A.’s Luxe Hotel.
