AmCham Bulgaria, in partnership with ARS Bulgaria team, invite you to the exclusive event “Cyber Risk- Business Risk #1”, taking place on 17 September 2026, from 9:00 AM, at Hilton Sofia, Cherni Vrah Hall.

Cyber risk is no longer merely a technology issue. New regulatory requirements, growing financial exposure, and management accountability have firmly placed it
on the agenda of senior executives and business leaders. During the Event*, together with leading experts and business representatives, we will focus on NIS 2, the financial dimensions of cyber risk, and management accountability. We will explore the topic beyond technical security through the lens of corporate governance, financial resilience, and organizations’ real-world preparedness.

We will discuss what the new requirements mean for businesses, the potential true cost of a cyber incident, and when insufficient preparedness can translate into
personal management risk for directors and executives. Our closing discussion will address one key question: Is your organisation ready not only technically, but also from a management and financial perspective?

We look forward to welcoming you to an exclusive business gathering dedicated to expert insights, practical guidance, and strategic discussion on risks that have become an integral part of managing a modern business.
