Levite was the principal deputy director general for policy at the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission from 2002 to 2007. And this further reduces trust in ICT/OT. Another concern is that both state and corporate interventions could leverage or mask what are purely lax security standards or flaws in products and services. Whether valid or not, the concern is that certain corporations are actively or passively weakening the security of the supply chain and final products either at the behest of governments or for questionable purposes. They believe the pursuit to be justifiable and legal, citing objectives related to intelligence, law enforcement, and military operations. Inarguably, some governments have been intervening in the ICT/OT supply chain or at least laying the groundwork for such interventions. Compounding the problem, these legitimate security concerns are sometimes exaggerated for political and commercial reasons-a counterproductive dynamic that fuels rivalries, fragments the marketplace, increases anxiety, stifles innovation, and drives up costs. Yet trust in the integrity of these products and services is declining because of mounting concerns over inadvertent vulnerabilities in the supply chain and intentional backdoor interventions by state and corporate actors. In an increasingly digitized world, information and communication technologies (ICTs), and especially operational technologies (OTs), have assumed critical importance for governments, industry, and the general public worldwide.
