“Member States shall ensure that the members of the management bodies of essential and important entities are required to follow training“ (Article 20, clause 2).
The EU Directive 2022/2555 expressly addresses the management level of the companies and organisations concerned. It requires demonstrated competencies and capabilities in cybersecurity. In addition, steering and management of additional training for subsidiary management levels is required.
The seminar conveys the required knowledge in condensed format, specifically addressing senior management levels. A formal university certificate will be awarded as proof of participation and success.
