In part 1 and part 2 of this series, I focused on the Cybertech conference in Tel Aviv which I attended in in January. In this and the final blog piece on the topic, I’ll look at how Israel has become a leading player in the worldwide information security sector.

I attended Cybertech on a trip sponsored by the America–Israel Friendship League and the Israeli Foreign Ministry. Also on the trip was fellow CSO columnist Richard Stiennon who wrote about it as well. In his illuminating article, he calculated the number of information security vendors per country.
