The Act amending the Act on the National Cybersecurity System aims to implement Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 (NIS Directive 2) and the partial application of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1366 of 11 March 2024 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The amendment to the KSC Act significantly expands the scope of the regulations and introduces new obligations in the field of cybersecurity management. The changes include, among other things, the implementation of risk management systems and expanded incident reporting requirements. The new regulations also strengthen the powers of supervisory authorities and significantly increase the maximum amount of financial penalties. It also introduces liability for the management staff (manager) of an entity. In practice, this requires certain entities to take steps to comply with the new regulations.
– the first edition of a new nationwide event dedicated to the defence, security and resilience of the state
On June 19-20, 2026, representatives of our law firm will participate in the Warsaw Defense Trade Fair (WTO 2026), which will be held at the EXPO XXI Exhibition Center in Warsaw. This is the first edition of a completely new trade fair and conference event, created in response to the growing importance of the defense sector, national security, and technologies supporting Poland’s institutional, economic, and social resilience. The fair is held under the honorary patronage of the Ministry of Interior and Administration and the Minister of National Defense. The event is informally referred to as a “mini-MSPO in Warsaw” – a capital city-based, intimate alternative to the September International Defense Industry Fair in Kielce, open not only to professionals but also – on the second day – to the general public.
