Israel To Create New Military Branch, Cybersecurity Focused →
Israel Hayom is reporting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) plans to create an entirely separate and new branch of the State of Israel's primary military defense targeting cyberwarfare. The decision to create a separate military service targeting electronic warfare appears to be one of the first of it's kind worldwide, and significantly forward-thinking.
'The new branch will join the Israeli Air Force, Navy, and GOC Army Headquarters as a main service branch that will oversee the military's cyberwarfare strategy, as well as its proactive cyber efforts, which are currently headed by Military Intelligence, and its cyberdefense efforts, currently headed by the C4I Corps.' - via Israel Hayom's Lilach Shoval and Israel Hayom Staff.
