According to the Israel Defense Forces, we should be prepared from the extraterrestrial attacks that will take place in
the near future. And to instill that thought to everyone, IDF made some training exercises and their premise to the said
exercise goes like this.
IDF used the premise for their training exercise for their computer programming unit called "Ofek", the exercise aims to
give its participants the idea of how important a cyber defense is when aliens attacks us,
“The participants of the exercise work daily on developing operational programs for the air force,The goal was to make
them understand the importance developing [cyber] defense. We adapted the exercise to Generation Y, which loves
challenges. So we prepared the framing story of an alien invasion" - Lt. Col. Meir,commander of the engineering unit
During the exercise, teams competed against each other to hack the intended system we built for them,We wanted
them to understand the importance of guarding the secrecy of [air] force information,” - Maj. Gil, head of the cyber
department
Israel is known to have been the most target of cyber attacks, it is evident during the 50-day conflict between the
clashing Israel and Hamas. Hamas was able to infiltrate the civilian communication systems. There's also a report from
The Jerusalem Post which states that hackers from Gaza has launched cyber attacks against Israel using a pornographic
material video clip.
The Israel Cabinet approved recently the formation of a National Cyber Authority to join forces to Israel National Cyber
Bureau (INCB), together they will focus on preventing cyber attacks to the civilian sector.
“Cyber threats can paralyze nations. This is a strategic threat that can paralyze and hurt no less than other threats in
various fields and we must be prepared to for it on the national and international levels,” - Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu
