In collaboration with Hans Koolen (CEO Atos Netherlands) our very own Quint Ketting discussed board room responsibility and accountability in relation to cyber resilience and compliance. Quint emphasized that this responsibility goes beyond just following rules and regulations like NIS2, DORA, and the Cyber Resilience Act. While compliance with these laws is essential, he pointed out that true accountability means actively working to make sure the company is prepared to handle cyber threats. It’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about building a strong, resilient organization that can withstand digital risks.
