it's much more prosaic than that - it's just A LOT of money.
Israel isn't a signatory of the Wassenar Arrangement, which helped Israeli startups rapidly corner the 0-Day and Exploit Market.
Before the 2010s, the Israeli software scene was largely targeting commodity use cases by trying to undercut existing vendors like Cisco or Arista in price.
Israeli companies saw a market opening that could differentiate them and decided to take it.
It's a segment that would have existed in the US, France, or CEE but regulations prevented it from emerging.
