US Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy Nathaniel Fick is in Tel Aviv this week to participate in Israel Cyber Week and meet with Israeli government counterparts and representatives of the US and Israeli private sectors, the State Department says.
Fick will be joined by Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Cyberspace Security Liesyl Franz, and the two “will discuss US efforts to implement an affirmative vision for a secure cyberspace by working with our allies and partners in the region to build a defensible, resilient, and rights-respecting digital ecosystem,” the State Department says.
Fick “will also meet with Israeli government officials to discuss our two countries’ technology and cybersecurity collaboration as we seek to promote peace and prosperity in the region,” according to the US readout.
