Israel is a world leader in surveillance technology, with veterans of the Mossad and the military’s Unit 8200, a cyberwar office, launching start-ups that provide intelligence services to private clients.
Israel’s Defense Ministry increased its exports in 2019 of civilian and refugee monitoring technology, a report published by the ministry Monday said. The figures show that Israel’s export of intelligence and cyber systems, as well as its communications monitoring systems, constituted 14 percent of total Israeli exports in 2019, compared to 8 percent in 2018.
