China bans security software from the US and Israel
by Inside China Business [2-3-2026].
The founders and top executives of leading cybersecurity software companies have strong ties to the Israeli intelligence services.
In addition to contracts with the largest global companies, these companies' clients include US government agencies, the Pentagon, NATO militaries, and foreign defense contractors.
Effective immediately, cybersecurity software from Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, CheckPoint, CyberArk, and a handful of other US- and Israel-based companies are banned in China.
China's central government has ordered all companies and institutions to identify and replace software products and systems from those firms by the end of June.
