Join us for an engaging evening where we bridge the gap between cybersecurity regulation and real-world threats. You'll gain practical understanding of the NIS2 directive—why it matters, how to prepare, and how to align it with existing frameworks like ISO 27001.

We’ll also dive into mobile security with live demos of Android vulnerabilities, showing how they work in practice and how to defend against them.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just curious about cybersecurity, this event offers timely insights and actionable takeaways for everyone interested in staying ahead in the cyber landscape.
