Dear members and friends of AmCham Austria,

we are pleased to invite you to an AmCham Breakfast Lecture hosted by Spirity!

Topic 1

“Bleeding Compliance: How Regulation Can Kill Your Company (If You Let It)”

European Lessons in Turning NIS2 & DORA from Burden to Competitive Advantage

Description:
NIS2 and DORA are shaking up cybersecurity compliance across Europe — and many companies are struggling to keep up. With audits looming, last-minute fixes and minimum-effort compliance are putting businesses at serious risk. This session highlights European best practices, including gap analyses, regulatory differences across countries, and the crucial role of CISOs and vCISOs. We’ll share case studies of companies who turned compliance into a strategic advantage. If you’re a multinational, these common traps and fixes are a must-know. Don’t just aim to pass — aim to lead.

Topic 2

“One Click to Collapse: How a Vendor Breach Can Bring Down Your Company”

Cybercrime, Brand Damage & Supply Chain Failure – Why Prevention Starts Beyond Your Perimeter

Description:
Studies show that the average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million in 2024 (source: IBM – “Cost of a Data Breach Report”), marking a 10% increase from the previous year. Yet, the true cost often begins with someone else’s mistake. A single supplier breach can halt your operations within hours. This session delves into real-life examples of supply chain attacks and how businesses are fortifying third-party defenses and brand protection. Discover why early detection, digital risk monitoring, and proactive vendor assessments are now essential. Once a breach occurs, it’s already too late—prevention must extend beyond your own firewall.
