The training was very useful and can be recommended. The information we gained from the training will help us a lot with the practical implementation of security measures in our company’s information systems, both internal and those we develop for our clients.
At the same time, the training made us aware of the differences between the previously valid ZoKB or VoKB and the new NIS2 directive.
