They've also been a nexus of cyber security: Palo Alto Networks, Checkpoint, Wiz, etc are all Israeli companies.

The Ones Who Sell The Panic Sell The Cure.
Which is surprising that these organizations have trust; like our employers probably wouldn't be comfortable shipping all their code to / embedding agents from cybersecurity firms in Russia
Palo Alto Networks is not an Israeli company. But it has acquired many Israeli companies
The founder was former checkpoint engineer and unit 8200 in Israel. It isn't HQed in there but there are ties.
the founder is !
By that definition Tesla is a South African company.
It's the same skill set, many acquire it via the IDF, so unsurprising.
Specifically Unit 8200, which really has no counterpart elsewhere in the world given Israel's mandatory universal conscription. Imagine if you could systematically screen every young adult in a country, identify those with the strongest math/quantitative skills or promising deep tech skills and divert them into one single security special ops org for several years. You'd get the concentration of skill that Unit 8200 has been producing.
I don't see why other countries couldn't do this? Doesn't Russia kinda do this as well? Its a matter of will.(Just my opinion).

Palo Alto used booth babes in 2025. I have zero respect for them since that.
Are you saying there's no work for both babes either? What a dry market!
