Over the past decade, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has made the greatest strides in the field of cyberspace. During this period, cyberspace became a pertinent issue and in the IDF it became an extensive field of activity of developing and applying knowledge. The IDF perceives cyberspace and cyber regulation as significant for several reasons: First, they relate to the public discourse on knowledge development and the regulation of relations between the state and the economic system on the issue of national cyberspace and its resilience and the strengthening of the state’s ability to continuing functioning in any emergency and while under enemy attack; second, cyberspace has great importance also in the international context. The State of Israel sees itself as being at the global forefront in developing cyber knowledge and, as such, can meaningfully contribute to developing the defense of cyberspace in other nations as well.
