Defense Matters, Episode 8 | The Cyber Special 

Israel Defense, in association with the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is proud to present its new podcast: Defense Matters | A podcast about defense, technology, and the powers that move them.   

This is our last episode before we go on Summer Break and we wanted to go big. Since our world is replete with cyber, we focused on its complex reach into our lives. Don’t worry; we will return in September, giving you time to catch up on Season One of Defense Matters.  

In Episode 8, Host Aron Heller speaks with Erez Kreiner, a former director of the Cyber Division of Israel’s Shin Bet security service and currently a senior research fellow at the Insitute for Counterterrorism at Reichman University.   The two examine the prominent role that cyber plays in today’s world. It is most obvious with regard to cyberattacks, but it also creates civilian “cyber” soldiers within wars and significantly defines alliances in the international arena.   

In our Game changer segment, Heller speaks with Esti Peshin, Vice President and General Manager of the Cyber Division at IAI. She discusses the five aspects of defense against cyber dangers in our world today as well as how IAI technology will help define the concept of cyber in the near future.
