Israel is well known to be a leader in crypto projects, cyber security and seizures of illicit proceeds from terrorist financing.
In this episode, host Ian Andrews explores what factors have contributed to Israel’s tech growth with Yosi Biton (Partner, Head of Forensic and Compliance Services, KPMG Israel.)
