Cybersecurity Information Sharing

The Israel Antitrust Authority (IAA) released a Draft Opinion Paper for public comment concerning cybersecurity information-sharing between private entities.

Background

As threats to information security have increased, information-sharing between organizations has also grown as a means of strengthening resilience against cyber attacks. Israel has established a National Cyber Event Readiness Team (CERT) for dealing with cyber threats and a system for sharing information among government agencies. In anticipation of future private information-sharing initiatives, the IAA has released a Draft Opinion Paper presenting the agency's analysis of such private information sharing frameworks. The Draft Opinion is open for public comment until April 5, 2017.
