Monday, 10 June 2024   Webinar    4pm-4:45pm GMT    

Does your company have over 50 employees or an annual turnover of €10 million? If so, you may be one of the numerous companies affected by the NIS2 Directive, the European Union’s latest compliance regulation. NIS2 comes into effect in October, and the challenge is that it applies to any organisation providing critical services within EU countries, even if your business isn’t physically located in the EU.

Join our webinar on the 10 June at 4pm Irish time where NIS2 specialists will talk you through what NIS2 is, how to implement NIS2-compliant tools and how to avoid heavy fines and penalties.  Among other expert inputs, we’ll be joined by Richard Browne, the Director of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the government agency leading  on interpreting the NIS2 legislation.

This webinar will be recorded. Even if you cannot attend the live session, register for the event to receive access to the playback.
