About this listen

Cybersecurity training isn’t just an IT concern anymore—it’s a leadership responsibility. Under NIS2, board members and executives must ensure that cybersecurity awareness is embedded into the company culture, with structured training programs for employees, IT teams, and leadership itself.

In this episode, we break down:

  • Why cybersecurity training is now mandatory for all employees—and how often it should happen.
  • The advanced training IT and security teams need to stay ahead of emerging threats.
  • Why executives must receive specialized training on risk, governance, and their personal liability.
  • The serious consequences of non-compliance, including massive fines and personal legal risk.
  • How access control and the principle of least privilege play a crucial role in compliance.

Executives can no longer say, “I didn’t know.” NIS2 holds leadership personally accountable for cybersecurity preparedness. Tune in to learn how to turn compliance into a competitive advantage and build a security-first culture from the top down.
