Why there are so many Israeli cyber commandos
The United States is working increasingly closely with Israeli military cybernetic organizations (this effort appears to have culminated in the creation of the Stuxnet, Duqu, and several other more powerful types of cyberware).weapons). Americans were amazed that Israel, a country with a population of less than three percent of the US population, was capable of creating military cybernetic organizations equal to, and sometimes better than, the United States itself. Israel does this with a successful conscription system that has long been used to find quality recruits for elite combat and intelligence units. As far back as the 1990s, Israeli leaders realized that the Internet could soon become another battlefield. So, the recruitment of special forces was expanded by looking for recruits for new cyber warfare organizations. To date, there are more than a dozen such units, almost all of them are secret (even their names are not disclosed). These small units serve various military, intelligence and other government organizations. They are believed to have only a few hundred hackers, and many of them are only hired for short periods of time (often as part of their military duties). Most cyber warfare experts have careers in many Israeli software companies and are called up as reservists for a short period of time as reservists to participate in cyber warfare operations.
Israel is trying to educate its American counterparts on how to use some of Israel's recruiting and talent development methods. US military officials note that most colleges in the United States are hostile to such programs. In Israel, this is not the case at all, the constant threat of Palestinian terrorism and Iranian rocket attacks allows universities to be more accommodating. The scale of the national security threats facing Israel also makes it easier to implement a national program to identify and recruit talented recruits before they reach high school. In Israel, this means selected candidates will receive additional training prior to being drafted into elite cyber warfare units.
Israel recruits conscripts in very innovative ways. For example, two years ago, Israel began using the same selection and recruitment methods to form various types of cyber warfare units that they use to form subversive groups. The Israelis are not just looking for men (or women) with the necessary technical skills, but also with the stable psychological characteristics of ordinary commandos. Israel intends to use these cyber units to deal with the most difficult and dangerous cyber war situations. Thus, during a cyber attack using unknown and destructive new technology, they will have cyber commando units at their disposal, ready to deal with the situation. The same units will be used in cyber warfare against enemy targets that need to be incapacitated or simply researched. They will have the units to do the job because they are already staffed and trained to be the best of the best. Likewise, by sending conventional commandos on a mission to steal technology (which Israel has already done several times), several cyber commandos will also take part in this operation. Well-trained, combat-minded, and highly technical cyber warfare fighters can keep up with conventional commandos, can quickly deal with enemy vehicles and seize or destroy the necessary devices. The new units are actually part of military intelligence and are looking for recruits in the army, as well as among civilians.
