Meetup to Decode NIS2: A Cybersecurity Workshop

Meetup to Decode NIS2: A Cybersecurity Workshop
IDA supports the UN's world goals

IDA wants to make visible the link to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This event covers, among other things, the above development goals. Read more about the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

Discussions about NIS2, the EU's cybersecurity directive, discuss how to prepare for and mitigate cyberattacks. We discuss the legal requirements, social impact, and why compliance gives a strategic advantage in all its simple terms.
What is NIS2 and what are the implications. How does it prepare us for mitigating cyberattacks? How does penetration testing help with establishing protections against different attack vectors and what tools are available to us so that we can we do this in our everyday way of life - monitoring, testing and building resilience?

This meetup will be both informative and also a relaxed environment for sharing stories of how to take ownership of Cybersecurity. This will be done through presentations and break-out discussions after which the salient points are given as take aways.

This meet up is not designed to be an entire NIS2 course (of which there are many) but to be a people hub for sharing "know-how", tools and contacts in the domain of Cybersecurity, so that you are better equipped.

Agenda

Part 1: Understanding NIS2 & Its Impact

  • What is NIS2? 🛡️
    • Introduction to the NIS2 Directive and explain its purpose of strengthening cybersecurity across the EU. 
  • Who and what is Affected? 🏢
    • Detail the new scope of the directive, highlighting the "essential" and "important" sectors and entities it applies to.
  • Key Implications & Requirements 📝
    • Outline the core obligations of NIS2, including mandatory risk management, stricter reporting, and supply chain security. Why not just be an ostereich and bury your head in the sand? Marginal gains for the business. Reputation.

* Pause 20 minutter - pizza og sodavand *

Part 2: Identify your owner, your assets, and breaking down the risks 

  • Risk owner, establish your assets and processes in a "CIA" context. eg. gdpr leaks. 
  • Establishing when and how to create an incident and how to effectively mitigate it.
  • Making the write-ups for the root cause and sharing knowledge.

Part 3: Practical Application: Testing & Building Resilience (to be done in the next Meetups)

The Role of Penetration Testing 🔍

  • Discuss how penetration testing serves as a proactive defense mechanism to uncover vulnerabilities and test security controls. What other tools or mechanisms are available to us to build in resilience?
    • Tools & Practices for Personal Resilience 🛠️
  • Provide practical, accessible advice and tools for individuals to enhance their personal cybersecurity, such as password managers and good digital hygiene. 

* Networking og tak for i dag 10 minutter *
