Israel builds 'cyber dome' against Iran's hackers
New Indian ExpressTEL AVIV: Israel's Iron Dome defence system has long shielded it from incoming rockets. "It is a silent war, one which is not visible," said Aviram Atzaba, the Israeli National Cyber Directorate's head of international cooperation. Israel collaborates closely with multiple allies, including the United States, said Atzaba, because "all states face cyber terrorism". 'An impressive enemy' Israel's arch foe Iran is "an impressive enemy" in the online wars, said Chuck Freilich, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, which is affiliated with Tel Aviv University. Iran has welcomed Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
