The Implications of the NIS Directive
Delivery: classroom // Duration: 1 day
The EU directive on the security of Networks and Information Systems (known as the NIS Directive) is having a major impact on working practices.

Their reliability and security are essential to everyday activities. There is therefore a need to improve the security of network and information systems across the EU, with a focus on essential services which if disrupted, could potentially cause significant damage to the economy, society and individuals' welfare.

Through the day you will have expert guidance and help from y cyber security expert who will be on hand to facilitate.
