In addition in the second day we had a high level awareness session about threats of cyberattack dedicated for the managers where we demonstrated a Live Cybersecurity Incident Simulation which will enable the managers to go through a simulation and assess in a very tangible way potential threats with regard to Cyber Attacks.
