In this episode of "Decrypted," Skadden's cybersecurity and data privacy co-leads David Simon and William Ridgway sit down with Nicola Kerr-Shaw in London and Susanne Werry in Frankfurt for a frontline look at NIS2 — the EU directive redefining how organizations must prepare for and report cyber incidents across Europe and beyond. After a quick survey of recent U.S. cyber and AI policy developments, the team dives into what happens when an incident strikes under NIS2 — from the directive's dramatically expanded scope and strict notification deadlines to registration pitfalls, board-level personal liability and the challenge of preserving legal privilege under pressure.The episode wraps with practical takeaways on tabletop exercises, incident response planning and key U.K. developments, including the proposed Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill.
