Espionagem: Mito ou Realidade
Atualmente, todas as empresas têm de lidar com a segurança dos dados, independentemente de serem grandes ou pequenas organizações. E, por isso, este jogo constante do “gato e do rato” é um tema pertinente que as empresas devem ter em consideração e atualizar permanentemente. A questão é saber quais das coisas que se ouvem são de facto verdadeiras na prática, quais são meros mitos e que medidas de proteção podem e devem ser tomadas. A especialista do SIS (Serviço de Informações de Segurança) responderá a esta questão na noite no jantar de networking que se segue à Assembleia Geral.

Oradora: Dra. Cláudia Cunha SIS, Programa de Proteção do Conhecimento Serviço de Informações de Segurança

Webinar: Building Practical AI Agents for Every Company
2026-02-24 15:00 - 16:00 | Pêro Pinheiro
The CCISP continues its journey to support the companies in the field of AI.
In our last event at Aubay Portugal on 28/01/2026, we have learned, among other things, that instead of rushing to implement AI tools, we must analyse problems and processes first, and only on that basis we shall look out for new tools. Because the problem may be solved in a different way instead of using a fancy AI tool.
