NIS2 Directive
What is NIS2?
The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is a European law that focuses on cybersecurity and the resilience of critical infrastructures and digital service providers.
Its introduction was motivated by the increase in cyber threats and the growing dependence on digital technologies in all critical sectors.
The NIS2 Directive is an important step towards more regulation of cyber security across the European Union and will have to be transposed into national law by Member States.
The obligations will become fully applicable from the day following the date set for the transposition of the Directive by the Member States, set for 17 October 2024.
