Bear in mind, when considering the relationship between Silicon Valley and Israel, this is not Detroit versus Tokyo. It’s not that sort of nationalistic, zero-sum rivalry.

It’s an additive relationship – one that is emerging as an instructive, vitally important transnational model for developing and selling new, transformative technologies. This is particularly true in cybersecurity, where the adversaries we fight are increasingly stateless or at least noncommittal when it comes to national allegiances.
