Cyber Security Cooperation discussion will be one of the top agenda when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. They will talk about cyber attacks across the globe, including by non-state actors.
"Once it was a disadvantage to say that you are from Israel. Today when you talk about cyber or advanced technology, it is an advantage to say we are an Israeli company. The whole world wants us. The whole world is coming here," Netanyahu said during the Cyber Week 2017 conference in Tel Aviv University.
Netanyahu has Terming Modi as "one of the most important prime ministers of the world", and said that both the countries want to establish close cooperation in many areas including in cyber security.
"For example, there is going to be a visit of Prime Minister of India, one of the most important Prime minister's of the world, with the third largest economy in the world growing very fast. He wants close cooperation with Israel in many fields -- water, agriculture, health and also in cyber. And he has a good reason to do so," Netanyahu told on a video released by his office.
Modi will be in Israel for three days to commemorate 25 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"A few years ago, I decided to establish Israel as one of the five leading powers in the world and I think by all accounts, we are there but the jury on security is always out. And it's a constant challenge. Cyber security is a serious business. It's a serious business for two reasons - the first reason is that it's a serious and growing threat. And it's a growing threat everywhere because every single thing is being digitized," he said.
Netanyahu has expressed his concerns on the exponential rise in the need for cyber security, as every government is trying to find out the new and best ways to protect confidential information of security organizations, the critical infrastructure, businesses, and every single organization.
The need for robust cyber security software's deepening as two major cyber attacks had affected computer systems around the world.
