Established by the European Union in 2016, the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive was developed in response to several high-profile and damaging cyberattacks. NIS2 aims to strengthen security requirements, streamline reporting obligations, and enforce stricter supervisory measures.
The updated NIS2 Directive is designed to protect critical entities from supply chain vulnerabilities better, ransomware attacks, and other cyber threats. All the member states of the EU are required to incorporate the NIS2 Directive into their national regulations by October 2024.
The NIS2 Directive seeks to improve the security and resilience of network and information systems across the EU. The regulation emphasizes the need for comprehensive security frameworks, including the protection of privileged accounts and access, which are often targeted by cyber attackers.
Failure to comply with NIS2 can result in severe penalties, including substantial fines and reputational damage. With the directive mandating higher standards for cybersecurity and incident response, the stakes have never been higher.
