In 2024, Israel's cybersecurity sector stood out as a rare bright spot in a year marked by regional conflict and global economic challenges. Data from YL Ventures annual State of the Cyber Nation Report 2024 reveals that the industry achieved significant growth, with over $4 billion invested across 89 funding rounds. This resilience not only reflects the strength of Israel’s tech ecosystem but also underscores its critical role in addressing the world’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges.
While the #cloud has revolutionized IT, it has also exposed cracks in the shared responsibility model. As organizations rely more on cloud providers, they face increasing challenges in securing complex environments.
In hist latest CSO Online article, Partner Andy Ellis argues that this model, which splits the responsibility of #security between providers and users, is reaching a tipping point—and it’s time cloud providers take on a greater share of this responsibility.
As Andy points out, "Cloud providers need to stop denying that they hold some fault in the current state of insecurity. Their security tooling needs to be easier to use at scale. Unsafe configurations must be easy to identify, and when they do discover problems, they should bear the burden of helping their customers become more safe.”
