Leave the room as fast as you can if anyone ever pitches this to you.
IT security is mostly a risk assessment exercise at most companies. Likelihood of an incident*impact compared to cost. That's reasonable but I think both the likelihood and the impact are really hard to estimate well.

It is important to set up systems so that hackers if (and when) they do breech, are found ASAP, and only get access to compartments and not the entire company. There are also Israelis that I know of who have a good reputation in cybersecurity.
