Dutch podcast on research in the approach European IT Security professionals take towards cybersecurity incidents and the upcoming EU legislation, which generates new cybersecurity regulations for organizations. 

Researching Dutch organizations, the results indicate that Dutch IT Security professionals experience tension when faced with reporting cyber incidents to their senior management. 36 % of the respondents believe that conversations with senior management are most awkward when the incident is caused by human failure. 

These tensions may disturb a healthy collaboration between both parties, and raise the concern for decreased mutual transparency, which importance is not irrelevant taking the upcoming EU legislation into consideration. The new legislation requires a State-of-the-Art approach to cyber security and increased visibility and transparency in which the dialogue between IT professionals and their senior management plays a key part. 

Dharminder Debisarun, Product Marketing Manager EMEA, provides key findings from the research and explains how to improve conversations with your senior management in this Dutch spoken podcast.
