A new directive from the Privacy Protection Authority puts the responsibility of information security in companies on the board of directors. The directive is causing echoes and concerns among many directors in the Israeli economy.
Directors and boards of directors who took part in the event, raised the concern that the new directive may impose executive duties on them. The right questions are being asked and the regulation is indeed being passed, says Yuval Segev, Chairman of the Cyber Forum at the Union of Directors. The Association of Directors will organize and make available as soon as possible professional training that will provide them with practical tools to implement the new requirements.
