israel's "Iron Dome" as an area ICBM defence against N. Korea?

I know little about the Iron Dome system that Israel has developed to protect its citizens from an attack other than what was shown on TV of it swatting scuds and Hezbolla's rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

Does it offer an effective defence against an attack coming from space in the form of an ICBM in terms of speed of engagement. Area covered anor is it more suited to countering the attack profile of a cruise missile which is of course a lot lowerand slower.
If so, there could be rush of sales to several new customers....MB
