What is NIS2?
The NIS2 directive is the instruction published by the European Commission in December 2022 to implement certain network security measures in national law by October 17, 2024. "NIS" stands for "Network and Information Security".
The NIS2 directive is an update to NIS1 from 2016 and includes EU-wide regulations for the establishment of national standards and institutions as well as international communication and cooperation, the aim being to increase the general level of cybersecurity in the EU.
Thereby, services that are essential for society and economy and, thus, have a "high criticality," as well as services whose disruption or failure would have critical consequences, will be better protected.
The directive therefore aims to strengthen the resilience of these critical infrastructures according to the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) with various requirements regarding the state of IT security, reporting obligations, regulatory audits, and much more.
