The declaration emphasizes the establishment of networks and procedures between the National Cyber Security Authority and\u00a0the Dept. of Homeland Security enabling\u00a0the sharing of operative information involving cyber defense.

“The declaration expresses the vital nature of\u00a0an international integration of\u00a0forces in\u00a0order to\u00a0more effectively deal with\u00a0joint threats in\u00a0the cyber sphere, especially given the commitment of\u00a0the US and Israeli governments to\u00a0expand and deepen bilateral cooperation in\u00a0cyberdefense,” the Israeli embassy stated.<\/p>\n
Recently, Israel has established itself as a major play player in the world of technology especially in the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Placing second only to Silicon Valley, Israel’s tech industry is increasingly moving towards cyber-security, which currently comprises around 20% of the industry.<\/p>\n
