How did your time in the military prepare you for a career in cybersecurity ? My journey to cybersecurity exists as an accumulation of life experiences , particularly within the military . I was positioned within the Israeli Defence Force ( IDF ) between 1991 and 1994 . Within this period , everything we did was relatively non-technological , yet I ’ ve realised that everything we were doing then directly reflects what is now happening in today ’ s digitally orientated society .
Similarly , I learnt a lot in the IDF about deception . This includes , how the concept of the ‘ bad guys ’ can be subjective ; how the opposing side is likely thinking ; and how to approach situations in a smarter way . Within judo , you learn that you don ’ t oppose the movement of the opponent , you embrace it , to ensure things keep moving in a desirable and frictionless direction . We can apply this to the deployment of our cybersecurity strategies .
