Overview of the training course

The NIS2 Directive Lead Implementer training provides participants with the knowledge necessary to assist an organization in effectively planning, implementing, managing, monitoring and maintaining compliance with the NIS2 Directive.

WHAT IS THE NIS2 DIRECTIVE?​

The NIS 2 Directive (also known as Directive (EU) 2022/2555), which comes into force on January 16, 2023, aims to improve the security of network and information systems in the European Union. This directive specifically targets operators of critical infrastructure and providers of essential services and requires the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures and the immediate reporting of incidents to the competent authorities.

 

The scope of the NIS 2 Directive is broader, covering a wider range of organizations and sectors, while tightening security requirements, simplifying reporting obligations and imposing stricter measures and penalties. By complying with the requirements set out in the NIS 2 Directive, organizations can improve their cybersecurity measures, protect critical assets and actively contribute to building a secure digital environment in the European Union.

WHY THE NIS2 DIRECTIVE IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU?

In today’s rapidly evolving digital era, where organizations face many sophisticated cyber threats, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. The NIS 2 Directive is an important piece of legislation that provides a comprehensive framework for businesses in sectors such as energy, transport, banking, healthcare and digital services to strengthen their cyber security measures, mitigate risk and protect sensitive data. By complying with the requirements, companies can benefit from increased protection against cyber-attacks, improved incident response capabilities and an overall improved security posture.

 

Certified individuals who are NIS-2 certified demonstrate a thorough understanding of the directive’s requirements, implementation strategies and best practices for protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats. With this knowledge, they are able to lead organizations in effectively managing cyber threats and implementing appropriate controls while ensuring compliance with the NIS-2 Directive.

WHO CAN ATTEND?​

Managers or consultants involved and/or concerned with NIS2 compliance in an organization.

 

Project managers, consultants or experts who want to master the implementation of the requirements of the NIS2 directive; or persons who are responsible for compliance with the NIS2 requirements in an organization.
