This week on The Global Show, Dave Benson is joined by Israel Reyes, an international cybersecurity and national security expert whose work spans cyber risk, cyber intelligence, critical infrastructure, operational technology, cyber resilience, data sovereignty and national security.
Israel has worked across Mexico, the United States, Russia, China, Australia and New Zealand, and brings a truly global perspective to one of the most important subjects of our time: the rise of cyberwarfare and the way technology is reshaping national security.
In this episode, Dave and Israel explore why the modern battlefield is no longer limited to land, sea or air. Today, the cyber domain connects everything from power grids and financial systems to military capability, communications, satellites, supply chains and civilian infrastructure.
They discuss how countries are using cyber operations, why critical infrastructure has become a major target, how AI is accelerating cyber threats, and why social engineering, phishing, deepfakes and misinformation are becoming harder for ordinary people and businesses to detect.
Israel also shares practical advice for individuals, families and businesses, including the importance of verification, education, call-backs, awareness training and building a stronger digital culture.
This is a conversation about cybercrime, national security, AI, human behaviour, global conflict and the uncomfortable reality that the next major crisis may not begin with bombs or tanks.
It may begin with a click.
