As cyber risk concerns are becoming increasingly prominent in the risk profiles of organizations, members of senior management bodies are required to understand these risks and make informed decisions for the organization that consider these risks and their impact, not just on the organization itself, but also on the ultimate recipients of their products and services.
The Network and Information Systems Directive released in 2022 (NIS2 Directive) emphasizes the importance of this understanding and involvement by these members of the organization’s management bodies by requiring them to actively involve themselves in cybersecurity risk management and the implementation of measures to make these risks justifiably acceptable.
Navigating NIS2: Bridging the Cybersecurity GAP takes you on tour through the NIS2 Directive. It is a tour for these members of the organization’s management bodies, whether they are the Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Executive Officers, or any other member of the management team. This course is unique because it understands that, especially for these members, time is a precious commodity. Hence, this course walks you through the overall Directive in the first day and takes you through a NIS2 assessment of your own organization on the second day. As attendee, you will not only complete the tour with an understanding of what the NIS2 means, but specifically what it means to you and what you should do to become compliant.
Certification definition
The CNIS2 certification validates a candidate’s understanding of the Directive including the measures that it prescribes. The certification also verifies the candidate’s knowledge about basic information security concepts that enable the candidate to discuss the cybersecurity risk management measures with those that are charged to implement and maintain them.
