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.

Our central guest this time is Erez Kreiner, Former Director of the Cyber Division of the Israel Security Agency (ISA, better known as Shin Bet), and currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute 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.

Kreiner explained that “In order to produce a tank you need many resources – but in order to produce a virus, you just need some clever people with computer,” going on to predict that There will not be any kinetic war in the future without an accompanying cyber war – or even maybe as a main part. You can hit a missile with a virus, you can’t hit a virus with a missile. This is a one-way street.”

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.
