Information Security Conference 2025 | BOUSSIAS | 18 February 2025 | SKEA National Insurance Conference Center, Leof. Andrea Siggrou 103, Athina 117 45, Greece

New threats, sophisticated cyberattacks, groundbreaking malware that is not detected by antiviruses, the imminent implementation of the NIS2 EU directive with the major challenges/requirements it poses, the perennial problem of a shortage of cybersecurity executives, geopolitical instability, the use of AI and the concerns it raises, as well as the increasing complexity of cloud protection, all require the design and implementation of effective security strategies, as well as the continuous review of protection technologies and systems, here and now.
