Navigating the NIS 2 Directive

The NIS 2 Directive is crucial EU legislation designed to help enhance cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) systems in critical infrastructure, setting new standards across EU member states and promoting proactive measures to help improve business continuity and resilience against evolving cyber threats.

Governance

The NIS 2 Directive establishes a comprehensive framework to ensure that entities critical to cybersecurity maintain stringent governance standards, emphasizing accountability of management bodies, mandating their active involvement in approving and overseeing cybersecurity risk management measures.

Risk Management

Entities must establish robust risk management policies and practices, including preparedness exercises, business continuity plans, secure supply chains, and multifactor authentication and encryption to help protect OT systems.

Reporting Obligations

The Directive requires the formation of a cybersecurity incident response team (CSIRT) to handle and report significant cyber incidents to authorities quickly, ensuring effective and prompt incident management.

Incident Detection and Response

Entities must establish robust incident-handling protocols. Tabletop exercises can help test and enhance readiness through simulations of realistic cyber scenarios.
