Join our free webinar, which we have prepared for you as part of Digital Czech Republic Week. The webinar is intended for anyone interested in cybersecurity—from industry professionals and security specialists to students of technical and legal fields, as well as the general public who want to understand current challenges in the field of digital security. Tereza Šamanová, the main coordinator of the EDIH Cybersecurity Innovation Hub project, will guide you through the webinar.
The introductory part of the webinar will provide an overview of current legislation—in particular the new Cybersecurity Act (ZKB), which will take effect in November 2025, and the related NIS2 Directive. We will focus on what these changes specifically mean for organizations in practice.

Part 1 of the webinar:
The New Cybersecurity Act and NIS2
The new Cybersecurity Act (ZKB) was published in early August, marking the start of a new era of cybersecurity regulation in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the webinar, we will focus on key changes, particularly regarding the expansion of the scope of obligated entities, new obligations under NIS2, the implementation timeline, and practical implications for security management and risk management.
From a legal perspective, we’ll explain what’s changing compared to the current situation and how to prepare. We’ll also show you how we can help—whether technically or organizationally.
The following will explain the legislation to you:
Mgr. Václav Stupka, Ph.D.

Part 2 of the webinar:
CyberRangeCZ: Practice your defense skills in a safe environment
In the second part of the webinar, we will introduce you to the CyberRangeCZ expert group, which aims to improve the preparedness of cybersecurity professionals. Their freely available CyberRangeCZ Platform allows participants to test real-world cyberattack scenarios—in real time and in a secure environment. The exercises help improve team coordination and communication and explain technical, procedural, and legal processes. We’ll show you how the exercises work and which organizations they’ve already helped.
