The use of Cyber weapons, both defensive and offensive, is supposed to be a hallmark of modern war, supplementing and even supplanting traditional kinetic operations. Yet, in the Russia-Ukraine war, Cyber seems to have been in use less than expected, and if it accompanied the Russian invasion, had little impact - unless media manipulation is taken into account. Israel, too, has recently seen Cyber exchanges, such as an Iranian attempt to embarrass Mossad Director David Barnea. Is Israel’s Cyber shield strong enough to withstand attacks in wartime, or is it only a secondary front when planes are bombing and missiles are being launched?
With us to deliberate these questions - from central Israel is Prof. Col. (res.) Gabi Siboni, Cyber Expert, The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS). Also joining us from another location in central Israel Mr. Alexei Kravtsov, Cloud Security R&D Team Leader, and Amir Oren, TV7 Editor at Large, Host of TV7 Watchmen Talk & Powers in Play.
