Abstract
This SpringerBrief introduces and analyses over two decades of Israeli cybersecurity policy. We discuss cybersecurity’s complementary aspects and present the major risk that drives cybersecurity policies. We outline the issues and topics covered, sources used, and the research challenges. The analysis requires a broad strategic perspective as factors less tangible than technology such as culture and grand strategy influence the national cybersecurity. Finally, we present the book’s scope and structure.
