National Economic Forum: NIS2 – A New Era of Cybersecurity and Its Impact on Businesses and Institutions (by invitation only)

The new European directive NIS2, which will come into effect in July 2025, brings significant changes in the field of cybersecurity. This directive will apply to approximately 8,000 entities in the Czech Republic, including companies, state institutions, and other organizations. It emphasizes the mandatory implementation of strong cybersecurity measures, including employee training. However, NIS2 is not just a regulation – it is an opportunity to enhance trust and competitiveness in the digital world.

Cyberattacks affect reputation, economic stability, and data security, which is a challenge for businesses and institutions regardless of legislation. The NIS2 directive introduces new standards that can be seen as a wake-up call for improving overall resilience. The discussion will focus on the practical impacts of this directive, the need to prepare for its implementation, and the importance of cybersecurity education.

What changes does the NIS2 directive bring, and how can we prepare for them? How can companies and institutions approach employee training to meet the new requirements? What impact will NIS2 have on the trustworthiness and competitiveness of Czech entities? How can economists, lawyers, and cybersecurity experts assist in its implementation?
