From article at algemeiner.com:
The American cybersecurity company CyberReadyUSA this week announced a new partnership with the Israel Electric Company (IEC) to implement Israeli cyber defense technology for thwarting cyber attacks in America.
The deal, signed between CyberReadyUSA and IEC partner CyberGym, will see the construction and development of a cyber training facility in the U.S. that will educate public sector employees on methods for defending against cyberattacks. The facility is due to be constructed by the end of this year.
Israel’s standing as a global cybersecurity powerhouse was advanced earlier this year when the US House of Representatives passed legislation to improve American-Israeli cooperation in that sector. The United States-Israel Cybersecurity Cooperation Enhancement Act of 2017, which passed in the House Jan. 31, creates a cybersecurity grant program for joint research and development projects.
Can anyone name another country in that region with the technology and resources to benefit the United States this way? Can anyone name another country in that region which would if they could?
This is a small reminder of what we lose if we lose Israel.
Let’s not.
