 There is a cyber superpower coming from the Middle East. My name is India and today we are going to find out how Israel became a world leader in cybersecurity and how Israeli technology could be protecting you. Israel is one of the world's largest exporters of cybersecurity technology, with over 90% of Fortune 500 companies using Israeli cybersecurity products. Right now, I am in Israel's very own cybersecurity capital, Belshava. In the middle of the desert, you can see companies like IBM have cybersecurity labs here. But why are these big tech players coming all the way to this small country in the Middle East? Well, cybersecurity is the protection of computer systems and networks against attack. And you see, it is no secret that Israel deals with plenty of war. But what you may not know is that much of it cannot be seen. Right now, Israel is the number one most targeted country by hackers. As cyber crime increases, so must cyber defense. Israel has a lot of cyber talent. And this talent comes largely from the Israeli army, also known as the IDF. The IDF selects the nation's best coders and hackers as teenagers to serve in elite cyber warfare units. This is because almost all Israelis are required to serve in the army when they turn 18. Many of them serve in the famous 8200 intelligence unit, or in Hebrew, it is known as Shmone Mataim. Many soldiers in Shmone Mataim specialize in cyber defense. It is the largest unit in the IDF. So many Israelis from Shmone Mataim go on to fill top positions in Silicon Valley or found their own tech startups. If you were in Shmone Mataim, you may have even served alongside the founders of Wix and Waze. Many believe that Israeli cyber tech is going to change the lives of people like you and me. Hi, I'm Etan Ben Ezra and I'm VP of products at Safereach. In Israel, we develop a lot of technologies to help people live their lives in a secure way. For example, at Safereach helps the organization attack themselves before the attackers actually do that. When attacks are successful, we help the organization identify what made the attack successful and then suggest how to remediate. Today, Israeli cyber tech companies are receiving record-breaking amounts of funding. This will benefit us all, especially as we fight against one of the biggest threats the world faces, cyber war. So as the cyber industry in Israel continues to grow, talent is getting harder to find. And soon, maybe you can find yourself in the Israeli cyber world too. This is the future of cybersecurity. This is Inside Israel. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
