Gabi Siboni

In October 2018, Siboni published a book titled: Regulation in Cyber Space (co-authored with Ido Sivan)A comprehensive study on the regulation of the cyber space. The book reviews various regulation models in key western countries, evaluated regulatory strategies from parallel domains and builds a multi-layered regulatory model for cyber space. While the model addresses Israeli cyberspace, it provides applicable strategies for other countries as well. The suggested framework uses several regulatory tools and is based on self-regulation by government authorities as well as mandatory regulation for the private sector.

Siboni is a national security specialist and the director of the Military and Strategic Affairs Program as well as of the Cyber Security Program at the Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). Siboni is also the editor of the Military and Strategic Affairs Journal (to be named Cyber, Intelligence and Security Journal as of September 2016).
