Decoding NIS2: Europe's New Cybersecurity Playbook
In this episode of "Decrypted," Skadden's cybersecurity and data privacy team tackles the EU's Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2) — one of the most consequential cybersecurity regulations now reshaping how companies prepare for and respond to cyber incidents across Europe and beyond. Hosts William Ridgway and David Simon are joined by Nicola Kerr-Shaw from London and Susanne Werry from Frankfurt to walk through what happens in those critical first hours of an incident under NIS2, from navigating multijurisdictional notification obligations and registration pitfalls to managing board-level personal liability and preserving legal privilege under pressure. Drawing on real-world incident experience, the team shares hard-won lessons on tabletop exercises, escalation planning and the governance structures that separate readiness on paper from readiness in practice. They also cover key developments in the U.K., including the proposed Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill.
We’re pleased to present the launch of “Decrypted,” a podcast hosted by Skadden’s Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practice. Each episode will track how cyber, privacy and AI risks show up in real life — inside incident response calls, board discussions, regulator interactions and litigation strategies.
