ISACA Athens Chapter Conference 2025

It is evident that there is immense potential for synergies between ISACA Athens Chapter and IIA Greece, paving the way for future collaborations that can elevate both institutes to new heights.
Together, we can drive innovation, best practices, and professional growth for our members.

ISACA Europe Conference 2024

Εxcited for our Chapter's participation to the ISACA Europe Conference 2024 in Dublin, where the buzz around AI, DORA, and NIS2 was intense! All the sessions definitely provided valuable insights and what a fantastic opportunity to connect with other ISACA Chapter Leaders.

A couple of key insights worth to highlight:

🚫 AI is not your silver bullet: If bad data goes in, you’re not just getting bad results—you’re running a full-scale garbage production line! 🏭

🔗 Supply Chains: The Weak Link – In a globally connected world, a breach in your supply chain can ripple across the entire network. It’s not just about securing your own systems anymore—your partners’ cybersecurity practices are equally critical.

🇪🇺 Regulation is Catching Up – With new laws like NIS2 and DORA, Europe is stepping up its cybersecurity game. Compliance is no longer optional, and it’s time to prepare for stricter regulations that will shape how we secure our digital borders.

🛠️ OT Security ≠ IT Security – Auditing SCADA and OT systems requires a different mindset. The critical infrastructures are more vulnerable to attacks, and traditional IT audit practices don’t fully address the unique risks that come with operational technology.

Happy 55th anniversary ISACA.
