European Union's NIS-2
(Network and Information Security)
What is the NIS-2 Directive?
The European Union’s NIS-2 (Network and Information Security) Directive represents a significant tightening of the existing NIS Regulation and aims to strengthen cyber security in essential sectors. This directive is relevant for companies operating in the areas of:
- Energy
- Water and Wastewater
- Health
- Transportation and Traffic
- Government
- Finance and Insurance
- Space
- Food
- Waste Management
- Post/Courier
- Manufacturing
- Digital Services
- Research
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
It sets out stricter requirements for the cyber security measures that companies must take to protect their networks from attacks.
What does it mean for your company
Companies that operate OT networks face the challenge of meeting the new requirements of the NIS-2 directive. These ‘ networks’, which are responsible for controlling and monitoring physical processes in critical infrastructures, are increasingly the target of cyber attacks. The NIS-2 directive requires not only the introduction of technical measures, but also the implementation of organizational and procedural security measures.
Why NIS-2 compliance is crucial for your company:
- Mandatory security measures: The NIS-2 directive requires companies to comprehensively rethink and adapt their cybersecurity strategies. This includes implementing security measures such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls and network access control to detect and defend against threats at an early stage.
- Increased liability and sanctions: Failure to comply with NIS-2 requirements can lead to significant legal consequences, including financial penalties and loss of reputation. Companies must therefore ensure that their security measures meet the latest standards.
- Protecting critical systems and data: Ensuring the continuity of your operational processes and protecting sensitive data are key elements of the NIS-2 directive. A successful attack could not only cause financial damage, but also jeopardize public safety.
