Reviews / Votes
"Book maintains an interdisciplinary approach, taking the audience through the disciplines of history, the social sciences, technology, and philosophy, even as it goes about explaining how cybersecurity has been treated in Israel, particularly during the last couple of decades. . book will be very helpful for academic and research establishments as well as policy-drafting institutions. It not only lays out the theoretical framework for coming out with useful policies, but also proves its efficacy by validating recommendations with material evidence." (CK Raju, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, May, 2016)
"The book is of great interest because Israel, in spite of its small size and limited resources, is widely considered one of the 'cyber super powers' alongside major countries such as the United States, Russia and China. . book is a valuable piece, written in a concise yet exhaustive way. . a must read for experts and analysts who want to expand their views on the cyber policy of one of the major cyber actors in the years to come." (Tommaso De Zan, The International Spectator, Vol. 51 (3), 2016)
