CISO as a Service (also known as vCISO, Fractional CISO, or מנהל אבטחת מידע חיצוני in Hebrew) is a model where an organization retains an experienced Chief Information Security Officer on a part-time, fractional, or advisory basis rather than hiring a full-time internal employee. SYBER provides this service through Attorney Ariel Liliav and a team of attorneys and certified CISOs. The combination of legal training + CISO expertise + international certifications is unique in the Israeli market. ### Why Choose CISO as a Service vs. Internal CISO? - Cost: Internal senior CISO costs 40,000–80,000 NIS/month (salary, benefits, equity).
