A little less than a month ago, we heard inspiring testimonials of cyberattacks from 3 manufacturing companies at a EDIH-WalHub cybersecurity event, organized by Agoria and Sirris | Innovation forward. A key takeaway was the critical need to train staff in cybersecurity. This necessity is becoming even more essential with the implementation of the #NIS2 directive into Belgian law next October. To support this crucial initiative, we want to highlight the efforts of CyberActive. They offer free 2-hour training sessions specifically focused on cybersecurity for the #manufacturing sector through their webinars. Is your staff trained? Check out their upcoming training sessions: https://lnkd.in/epxTb-ss CyberActive is an initiative funded by FOD Economie / SPF Economie / FPS Economy and the European Commission. #cybersecurity #cyberresilience #manufacturing #production #CyberActive #NIS2 SABCA, Knauf Insulation, Sprimoglass
