W4CFI x 2NS: From Regulation to Real-World: Navigating NIS2 and Mobile Security

This event will be held in English.

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.

Please note that we can accommodate dietary restrictions for those who get a spot before 18.09.2025. However, due to some constraints, we may not be able to make special food arrangements for those who get a spot after this date. We appreciate your understanding.

There are a few parking places in the yard; the metro is the easiest way to arrive.
