The NIS2 Directive is a set of rules and regulations aimed at improving the security of network and information systems. It aims to strengthen the resilience of essential service providers and digital service providers against cyber threats.
It imposes specific requirements on organizations that provide essential services, such as energy companies, transportation companies, financial institutions and health care providers. It also applies to digital service providers such as online marketplaces, cloud providers and search engines.
These rules require organizations to take appropriate measures to reduce the risks of cyber attacks. They must report incidents to the appropriate authorities and continually work to improve their security systems and practices.
The ultimate goal of the NIS2 directive is to ensure that essential service providers and digital service providers are better prepared for and able to respond to cyber attacks. This helps reduce the impact of such attacks and ensure the reliability and security of our networks and information systems.
NIS1 was the first version of the Network and Information Security Directive aimed at improving the security of critical infrastructures. NIS2 is the successor to NIS1 and is more broadly applicable. It has more stringent requirements and targets both essential service providers and digital service providers. The goal of NIS2 is to increase resilience to cyber threats.
