JERUSALEM Darren O'Day Womens Jersey , Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China's growing cybersecurity market has attracted more attention from global companies including those from Israel, which is strong in the cybersecurity sector.


Chinese cybersecurity market is huge and growing, not only because of its huge population of computer users, but also its deepening connection with the digital world, said Jony Fischbein, head of the Technical Marketing & Innovation of Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. Zach Britton Womens Jersey , the largest network cybersecurity vendor globally.


During an interview with Xinhua at the Cybertech 2018 being held in Tel Aviv, Fischbein said his company is "more than keen to cooperate with Chinese partners on how to protect the next wave of cyber attacks."


As the cyber world becomes increasingly connected, the risks of more advanced attacks disrupting the cyberspace are no longer a science fiction.


To protect cyber security and order requires global cooperation, especially when the world is being connected in the era of the IoT (Internet of things), most experts and industrial leaders attending the Cybertech 2018 agreed.


Yigal Unna, director general of Israel's National Cyber Directorate in the Prime Minister's Office Mark Trumbo Womens Jersey , emphasized the importance of global cooperation in the cybersecurity sector.


One of the important solutions is the establishment of an international cyber coalition, because the cyber threats affect the entire world, and so are the ways of dealing with them, Unna said.


Unna pointed out that it is important to identify early threats and develop counter measures using analytical capabilities, artificial intelligence and the best technologies.


So far, Check Point Joey Rickard Womens Jersey , which has offices in China's Beijing and Shenzhen with almost 100 employees, has cooperated with China's Alibaba, the world's largest online B2B marketplace on cybersecurity.


And the company is planning to expand its presence in China, attracted by the growth of the Chinese market.


An IoT industrial system is expected to be formed by 2020 in China, with an overall industrial value surpassing 1.5 trillion yuan (230 billion U.S. dollars), according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.


In China Chris Davis Womens Jersey , such huge IoT system will require higher standards of cyber defense to deal with cyber attacks. While China is sharpening its own cybersecurity power, it is also in need of seeking more cooperation with global leading cybersecurity partners.


Neri Zin, vice president of Cyberbit, a subsidiary company of Elbit, Israel's major cybersecurity vendor, said Cyberbit is keenly exploring the opportunity of seeking cooperation with China.


"China has a huge market and we should explore Manny Machado Womens Jersey ," Zin told Xinhua.


The world is connected, and cyber attacks are taking advantage of it, said Nadav Tsafrir, former commander of the 8200 unit of the Israeli Defense Forces, at a panel discussion of the Cybertech 2018.


"What is important today is cooperation on the resources invested in cyber defense and cybersecurity," Tsafrir said.


Delegates from over 80 countries and dozens of multinational companies attended the fifth Cybertech 2018 Adam Jones Womens Jersey , the world's largest cyber technology event outside the United States.




The Kremlin said on Monday it did not regard opposition leader Alexei Navalny as a political threat to the upcoming presidential election and that protests he had organized on Sunday had been sparsely attended in places.


Navalny, who has been barred from running over what he says is a trumped-up suspended prison sentence, has called on voters to boycott what he says will be a rigged election on March 18.


Opinion polls show incumbent President Vladimir Putin is on track to be easily re-elected.


Though unlikely to influence the result, Navalny's call for a boycott attracted thousands of protesters to rallies across Russia on Sunday, which saw the opposition leader detained by the police for several hours.


Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call on Monday it was unlikely that anyone could compete with Putin in the race.


"Putin is an absolute leader in the public's opinion, a leader of the political Olympus Jonathan Schoop Womens Jersey , with whom at this stage it is unlikely anyone could compete," Peskov said.


He said some of the protests had been thinly attended.


Asked whether the Kremlin considered Navalny a threat, Peskov said "no."


Around 1,500 protesters converged at a square adjacent to the Kremlin on Sunday, with hundreds also attending rallies in St. Petersburg, Russia's second-biggest city Cal Ripken Womens Jersey , in Yekaterinburg in the Ural mountains, and other major centers.


Moments after Navalny appeared at Sunday's rally in Moscow he was wrestled into a patrol wagon and taken into detention.
