Prof. MG (res.) Isaac Ben-Israel, Head of the Yuval Neeman Workshop for
Science, Technology and Security: "The Flame virus that was recently
detected by Kaspersky Labs, as the previous viruses spotted, Stuxnet and
Duqu, serves as proof that the Cyber domain does not rest. Over the past few
years the Yuval Ne'eman Workshop has made it its goal to promote the public
awareness to the importance of Cyber Security. The success of our Annual
International Cyber Security conferences is proof for the public eagerness
for knowledge in that field".
