Reports from Israeli State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman highlight significant cybersecurity deficiencies in government systems, particularly during the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Despite a directive from the National Cyber Directorate, many ministries continued using a vulnerable remote-work platform for ten months, risking exposure of sensitive data. The Foreign Ministry reported a staggering 500% increase in security incidents during the Gaza war, revealing longstanding gaps in its cybersecurity measures. Furthermore, only 16% of government services were integrated with the national identification system by late 2024, indicating a lack of progress in digital service implementation. The Construction and Housing Ministry was found to have mishandled sensitive data, failing to register critical databases as mandated by privacy laws. In response to these vulnerabilities, the National Cyber Directorate has proposed a Cyber Defense Law aimed at establishing a comprehensive national cybersecurity framework. Englman's recommendations emphasize the urgent need for ministries to update cyber policies, conduct regular system tests, and enhance disaster recovery plans to protect sensitive information and ensure operational continuity.
