The authority which runs Israel’s airports has said it blocks three million attacks on its systems each day. Airports Authority head of cyber and information security Roee Laufer said the attacks were against the organisation’s “virtual fence” protecting airports and border crossings. She said: “We are working with our partners to identify those who have been responsible for these attacks. He added that while the Airport Authority ran border crossings and airports, individual airlines ran their own security. Regarding success in tackling attacks, Laufer said the authority's challenges were “cut out for us”.
