Course Details

With NIS2 coming into force in October 2024 and DORA in January 2025, companies that are in scope for these regulations will have to implement more robust cyber security and business resiliency measures. They will also expect that those businesses that support them, like your practice, will have similar measures in place.

 

NIS2, is the updated Network and Information Security directive, which is bringing several different sectors into scope, where they have more than 50 employees. These sectors are Energy; Transport; Banking; Financial Market Infrastructure; Health; Drinking Water; Waste Water; Digital Infrastructure; IT Service Management; Space; Postal/Courier Services; Waste Management; Chemicals; Food; Manufacturing; Digital Providers; Research.

 

DORA is the Digital Operational Resilience Act and it applies to a wide range of financial entities regulated by the Central Bank.

L2 Cyber Security Solutions

Liam Lynch

Liam has over 35 years of experience in IT. He started out as a programmer in the 1980s - yes, he's one of the people who fixed the Y2K bug - before moving into networking, infrastructure and security in the 90s. Having worked with people at every level, he has a knack for explaining scary technical topics and boring legal subjects in language that anyone can relate to and understand.

In 2016, Liam founded L2 Cyber Security Solutions, whose maxim is #SecuritySimplified — reflecting his mission to bring easy-to-understand cyber security awareness to everyone. He specialises in helping micro, small and medium businesses and charities, which usually don't have the in-house IT or cyber security support that larger corporates enjoy.

Through L2 Cyber, Liam delivers up-to-date, fun and easy-to-follow training in cyber security awareness and Data Protection/GDPR. Since the HSE ransomware attack in May 2021, his cyber security assessment service has been in high demand, giving businesses an independent view of the strengths and weaknesses in their IT infrastructure, with prioritised recommendations for fixing any gaps. He also helps organisations plan for the worst through incident response and business resiliency planning.
