NIS 2 Directive and NIS2UmsuCG

Legal realignment in IT

This training is held in German.
The NIS2 directive, a further development of the first EU directive on network and information security (NIS), aims to ensure a high common level of security for networks and information systems in the European Union. The core of the NIS2 requirements is that thousands of German companies must introduce IT security risk management measures in future and comply with specific reporting and notification obligations. For operators of critical infrastructures (KRITIS), a company's membership of the organizations covered by the NIS2 directive will continue to be determined by certain threshold values, while for companies of special or fundamental importance, the sector, turnover figures and number of employees are the main decisive factors. This training provides a comprehensive introduction to the NIS2 Directive and also to the latest draft of the German legislator's "Act on the Implementation of the NIS-2 Directive and the Regulation of Essential Principles of Information Security Management in the Federal Administration (NIS-2 Implementation and Cybersecurity Strengthening Act - NIS2UmsuCG)". The training focuses on the compact analysis and discussion of the current draft versions of the German implementation law (NIS2UmsuCG).
