Understanding NIS2 Directive
The NIS2 Directive sets a robust standard for cybersecurity across network and information systems, vital for critical infrastructure and essential service providers.
The NIS2 Directive enhances Europe’s ability to counter cyber threats by strengthening resilience and response capabilities in both public and private sectors. It addresses challenges faced during the implementation of the original NIS directive, aiming to eliminate divergences in cybersecurity requirements across EU member states.
Relevance:
It provides legal measures to boost the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU and ensures organisations are equipped to handle evolving digital threats and maintain resilience. The directive establishes minimum rules for a regulatory framework and facilitates effective cooperation among relevant authorities in each member state.
What’s New in comparison with NIS-D?
The NIS 2 directive broadens its scope, compelling additional industry verticals to enhance their cybersecurity risk and incident management measures. The revised directive introduces stricter supervisory measures for national authorities, harmonises sanctions regimes, and enhances information sharing and participation in cyber crisis management across the European Union member states.
Another crucial aspect of the new Directive is the aim to enhance cooperation among EU Member States concerning cyber incidents and threats. The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) will be tasked with creating a European Vulnerability Disclosure Database to facilitate knowledge sharing among the Member States.
Applicable sectors
The new Directive broadens its scope to include more sectors and emphasises guidelines to ensure consistent implementation across EU member states. Applicable sectors include:
- Energy (electricity, oil, gas, district heating, and hydrogen)
- Health
- Transport (air, rail, water, and road)
