Forum IT: Cybersecurity Austria

The Forum IT: Cybersecurity Austria will be held from 9 - 10 September 2025 focusing on new threats, current legal frameworks, AI potential, and security strategies. 

Schoenherr expert Christopher Drolz will be part of a panel discussion themed: "The big NIS (2) talk – innovations and challenges that will challenge our security departments". It will shed light on the following points: 

• New definitions: Exceptions that the NIS 2 Directive does (and does not) contain & the scope it covers
• Legal subtleties: Where there is room for interpretation & where NIS 2 is uncompromising
• Collaboration makes sense: What successful interaction and networking between authorities and companies can look like in practice
• NIS 2 use cases in different industries: Different approaches & what we can learn from each other
• Liability issues: Risks & consequences of non-compliance with NIS 2 provisions
• Outlook: When will NIS 3 be needed?
