Today’s Cyber Cookie was recorded live on June 6th at the Castleknock Hotel, in front of over 50 IT leaders hungry for knowledge in the area of Goverance, Compliance, and Risk (GRC). The energy in the room was electric, reflecting the high demand for information and clarity on today’s critical topic.  CommSec’s very own founder, David McNamara, is back on the show to help us demystify NIS2. This EU directive is shaking things up for over 4,000 critical service organisations and their supply chains, and we’re here to break it down for you.
