Managers Face Severe Penalties for Cybersecurity Failures Inês Antas de Barros is interviewed by Jornal de Negócios in a news article entitled ‘Managers Face Severe Penalties for Cybersecurity Failures’. The article addresses the implementation of the new Cybersecurity Legal Framework in Portugal, which transposes the European Union's NIS 2 Directive. This new regime holds administrators and managers directly responsible for cybersecurity failures, significantly increasing the penalties and expanding the range of organisations covered by the legislation. Inês Antas de Barros points out that NIS 2 represents a fundamental change by making administrators directly responsible for cybersecurity offences, thus encouraging the rigorous application of the necessary measures. ‘Until now, the sanctioning framework wasn't very heavy, which prevented organisations from putting cybersecurity at the top of their priorities, when what we want is for cybersecurity to be in the DNA of organisations,’ says Inês Antas de Barros. The VdA lawyer also discusses the impact of these changes on Portuguese companies, with special emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), many of which are in the early stages of adopting cybersecurity practices. Inês Antas de Barros suggests that the authorities should initially adopt an educational approach to help organisations adapt effectively to the new requirements. This new legal regime is an opportunity for companies to strengthen their cyber defences, but it will require a significant effort to adapt and invest, especially for those who are starting from scratch.

Vasco Vieira de Almeida distinguido com o prémio “Advocatus Lifetime Achievement” Vasco Vieira de Almeida foi distinguido com o prémio “Advocatus Lifetime Achievement”, atribuído pelo ECO/ADVOCATUS, em reconhecimento pelo seu inestimável contributo para a valorização do direito como pilar fundamental da sociedade e da economia. Durante a cerimónia de homenagem, a Ministra da Justiça, Rita Alarcão Júdice, destacou a visão de Vasco Vieira de Almeida sobre o papel do advogado, sublinhando palavras proferidas pelo homenageado em vários momentos da sua vida. “Recuso totalmente a visão de que um advogado é um prestador de serviços. Em primeiro lugar, todo o advogado tem de agir também como cidadão; se não o fizer não é um bom advogado. Não pode abdicar da sua função social, tem de bater-se por valores civilizacionais. Não pode ser neutro, porque isso é a degradação da sua função.” Na ocasião, o Presidente da República, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, partilhou um testemunho sobre Vasco Vieira de Almeida, enaltecendo a sua integridade, visão e contributo incontornável para a defesa dos valores democráticos. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa sublinhou ainda o papel inspirador de Vasco enquanto cidadão e advogado, cuja dedicação à justiça e ao bem comum deixou uma marca indelével na sociedade portuguesa. Veja aqui o vídeo (https://lnkd.in/d2qq3ebp) A entrega do prémio teve lugar dia 5 de dezembro, às 19h30, no Centro Cultural de Belém.
