Cybersecurity moves to the heart of business strategy at Portugal Digital Cyber eXperience

The Portugal Digital Cyber eXperience is changing how organizations see cybersecurity, moving it from just a technical concern to a key strategic priority. The event happens just one month before the NIS2 directive starts in Portugal. It shows that digital security now plays a big role in how governments work, how investments are made, and how businesses stay strong and stable, not just in technology areas.

This event is made for people who make decisions about risk, investment, and company management. It has four main topics: Strategy and Governance, Regulation and Compliance, Resilience and Incident Response, and Disruptive Technologies. Each stage has talks, real examples, discussions, live shows, and practical activities, all meant to make cybersecurity talks more like real-world situations.

The program explains the new legal rules that will come into effect under NIS2 and DORA, especially for the financial industry. It gives advice from the National Cybersecurity Center on how to follow the rules, manage risks, and report cyber incidents.

The discussion on cybersecurity involves top business leaders like Rogério Henriques, Ferrari Careto, António Gameiro Marques, and Eduardo Penedes, ensuring that the conversation reaches the highest level of company decision-making.

The event also includes topics on new technologies, with talks from Instituto Superior Técnico looking at quantum computing, cryptography, and how blockchain can help organizations become more resilient. An international view is brought in through insights from the Institute of Cyber Technologies in Ukraine, showing how important cybersecurity is when things get really tough.

By bringing together smart talks, helpful rules, and real-life examples, the Portugal Digital Cyber eXperience becomes a place where companies can connect cybersecurity with top business decisions. It shows that being strong in digital safety is now very important for staying alive and winning in the market.
