The Israeli National Cyber Directorate has admitted that Israel is experiencing cyberattacks on a daily basis. The announcement comes in the wake of a widespread Iranian cyberattack that affected water systems in seven US states, as reported last night. The directorate stated today (Sunday) that it maintains continuous contact with American officials and is closely monitoring developments and new information from the incident. Additionally, the directorate is working with all entities and companies in the Israeli water sector to re-examine the level of national readiness, ensure that all security measures are implemented, and strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure. The directorate noted that Iran has attempted to attack the Israeli water sector in recent years, and that Israel deals daily with various intrusion attempts into computer systems across civilian and security sectors. However, close cooperation between the directorate and relevant entities has so far prevented significant damage to infrastructure.
