NIS2 Directive – Safeguard Your Company Against Cyberattacks With Us
NIS2, short for the Network and Information Systems Directive, is a set of cybersecurity regulations established by the European Union (EU). Its primary aim is to safeguard essential services and digital infrastructure from cyber threats.
NIS2 Objectives – Strengthen Your Company's Security Posture
NIS2 introduces new measures to ensure that organizations operating in or with the European Union (EU) have a high common level of network and infrastructure security.
The “directive” outlines the goals all EU member states must achieve; each country must implement it in their own law with room for some national specifics to reach these goals by October 2024. Directives are binding in terms of minimal requirements for what should be implemented.
NIS2 is the new European cybersecurity directive that will replace the existing NIS Directive starting October 2024.
It is the most comprehensive EU cybersecurity legislation to date, covering 18 sectors.
Its purpose is to establish a baseline of security measures for digital service providers and operators of essential services, to mitigate the risk of cyber attacks and to improve the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU.
