In 2026, cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue handled solely by IT teams. With the enforcement of NIS2 and new Israeli cyber laws, legal responsibility has moved directly to the boardroom.
Over the past decade, cyber regulation has rapidly matured. For Israeli companies, understanding regulation is now essential for survival.
The shift introduced by NIS2 moved responsibility from engineers to executives.
NIS2 expanded coverage, introduced strict reporting obligations, and imposed direct management responsibility.
Its impact on Israeli companies is critical, especially those working with EU clients.
Israeli regulation now also requires cyber due diligence across supply chains.
Companies must report cyber incidents within 24 hours, including ransomware.
Responsibility no longer lies only with the CISO — but with senior leadership.
Failure to comply may result in personal penalties and suspension.
Cybersecurity is now a core legal and business risk, not just a technical concern.
