The #human aspects of #cybersecurity are really poorly adressed in most security #frameworks. Neither #ISO27002, #NIST CSF, #PCI-DSS, #DORA, nor our Belgian NIS2 framework #cyfun, go further than making #securityawareness and cybersecurity #trainings mandatory. Ok, it is not bad, it is just not enough. If you stick to this only, it won't change your risk posture as we need to change behaviours to reduce risks. The only standard that seems to really grasp the importance of human risk management and how to make a positive impact on it is the #ECB (European Central Bank) "Cyber resilience oversight expectations for financial market infrastructures" (#CROE). That is, up to my current knowledge (and I would be glad to discover other ones), the only regulatory requirement in Europe that address cybersecurity #culture and #behaviour: Just one example - Requirement 36 of the Role of the Board and senior management: "Senior management should validate the effectiveness of its cyber resilience training programme (e.g. social engineering or phishing tests) and assess whether training and awareness programmes positively influence behaviour. Based on the lessons learned from its training programme, the FMI should improve the employee awareness programmes." Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium, it would be great if you could include some of their wisdom in the next version of your fabulous CyFun. It would confirm again Belgium as leader in Cybersecurity.

Have you ever discussed the possibilities of an app at your strategy meetings? 📱 Many webshops have. Just to conclude that an app is way to expensive and time consuming to focus on right now. And then moved it to the big pile of “ideas for the future” 📚💡 It's a shame, because now, more than ever, is the time to stay on top of all the digital trends and threats webshops are facing. We get the hassle, and we know how expensive and time consuming an app can be. That's one of the reasons why we build starti.app. But even though it's both a lot cheaper and faster to build an app with starti.app, you still need to commit to a new channel that needs attention to succeed. And the question is: Is the new channel worth the money? 💰 Why not test it? For DKK 15,000 you can get a test version of your own app build with starti.app for 3 months. Then you can get the look and feel of your app, see how easy it is to update and maintain and maybe even test it on some customers. If you like what you see, we can build you the full version of your app, and you can finally get started on your app adventure 📱 If not, you can simply archive that app card from “ideas for the future”. 👉 Wanna know more? PS. What's the most crazy idea in your big pile of ideas for the future? 👀 (we'll go first in the comment section)

Did you know that for being presumed #NIS2 compliant in Belgium through #ISO27001:2022 certification, the certification authority must be authorized by the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium? At Vinçotte we recently received this authorization. Who should certify? 1️⃣ mandatory in all cases described on the CCB NIS2 website 2️⃣ voluntary if you want your customers to trust your company ⏰ TIP: If you still have to go through certification, don't underestimate the effort and make sure to start in time. 👉 Questions about ISO27001 or CyFun certification?

Dear network, Quote- Euro News Updated cyber rules come into play this month, but just two, of the 27 member states have so far notified the European Commission about their implementing laws! Only Belgium and Croatia have officially notified the European Commission about their updated EU cybersecurity rules, a week before the deadline. The Commission proposed the overhaul of NIS1 – aimed at beefing up the resilience of network and information systems across Europe against cybersecurity risks – with the aim to keep up with increased digitisation and an evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. The French joint parliamentary committee for digital and postal affairs said in a report published last Thursday that while NIS1 concerned nearly 600 entities, NIS2 will change the scale to nearly 15,000 entities in scope. In case of non-compliance, companies face fines up to €10 million fines, or 2% of worldwide revenue, whichever is higher. Interesting update, and full article below. Thanks, Jon #NIS #Cyber #Resilience #Belgium

43% of Belgian SMEs are exposed to cyberattacks, and without the right protection, your company could be next. The first line of defense? Multifactor Authentication (MFA), and OneSpan offers the solution you need. Without MFA, you’re leaving your business wide open for cybercriminals to strike. Stef Vermeulen from CyberContract puts it bluntly: “It’s a moral obligation for businesses to implement MFA”. Why? Because cybercriminals are using automated tools to launch attacks that can cost you hundreds of thousands of euro, or even bankrupt your business. 🔒 Why You NEED MFA NOW: OneSpan's MFA secures your accounts from identity theft and phishing. It helps prevent devastating financial losses (up to €1.5 million for larger businesses). Cyberattacks happen all the time—don’t wait for the worst-case scenario. Don’t let your business be the next victim. Start protecting it with OneSpan's MFA solution before it’s too late. Contact sales@kappadata.be for more info.

The train has left the station! 🚆 Today the Belgian 🇧🇪 Parliament transposed the European 🇪🇺 Directive NIS2 into Belgian law. The NIS2 Directive brings a more rigorous regulatory framework that impacts how information security is managed. By extending the scope and depth of mandatory security measures, it ensures that organizations, including Enabel, are better equipped to handle cybersecurity risks. Now, as someone not necessarily being as enthusiastic about Information Security as I am, you might ask: "What does this have to do with me?". Well for me, and I know a lot of people in this domain think the same, Information security is not just a compliance requirement; it's a catalyst for better governance. By strengthening our cybersecurity posture, we not only protect our data and systems but also enhance the support for our colleagues who do the "actual work". Effective information security practices streamline operations and enable our teams to work more efficiently, focusing on delivering their important objectives while setbacks of digital threats are being kept at a minimum. https://lnkd.in/gp_BwHwn

🚗 Yesterday, I started listening to the ENTER podcast by the National Cyber Security Centre during my car ride. Every 5 episodes, they dive deeper into current cybersecurity topics. This time, the focus is on the NIS2 directive from the EU, known in the Netherlands as the Cybersecurity Act/ Cyberbeveiligingswet (CBW). Whether you work in IT, legal, or compliance, this episode offers valuable insights into what NIS2 entails and how organizations can prepare for it. The hosts clearly explain the key requirements of the directive and provide practical tips to meet the new obligations. Unfortunately, for English speakers, the podcast is only available in Dutch. 🎧 #cybersecurity #NIS2 #compliance #regulation #podcast

Did you know delaware BeLux is not only an early adopter of Microsoft co-pilot but that we are also one of the current biggest users within Belgium? I've had the opportunity to work with co-pilot over the past few weeks and months and these are 4 key take aways for me personally: 1/ We always claim that AI or in this case co-pilot will make my life easier and more efficient. After using it for some time I really see the benefits and how it made things easier. I have to look up quite some information internally or write emails, introductions, ... Now co-pilot is by my side to assist me and really speed up my work 2/ Sometimes co-pilot is not top of mind... Even the most ridiculous or complex task can be asked to co-pilot. For example, I had to make an introduction of the team in a slide deck. I started looking up the different names and roles, after a while I realized co-pilot could do this for me in less then 2 minutes. And the result was surprisingly good! 3/ Obviously proof read everything. Co-pilot can give a great assist, but the human touch that comes after it remains important in my role 4/ Co-pilot is a great assistant, but when I want to write content is still comes down to the input that I give. Without my input, co-pilot can bring a high level story and not the details that are important -> want to learn more about co-pilot or hesitating on how this works? We can assist you from a readiness scan all the way to a full roadmap, training and implementation. Or I can get you in contact with one of our experts like Sven Arnauts or Elyne Gilles
