NIS 2: Security in the Digital World

What is NIS 2?

 

Network and Information Systems Directive 2 is the European Union’s new cybersecurity directive, aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure and improving network and information security. The regulation applies to critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, healthcare, transportation, finance, and digital service providers. Appmore is committed to providing innovative solutions and secure applications, so let’s explore what NIS 2 entails and how it impacts the digital landscape.

 

 

When and Why Does It Come Into Effect?

 

It will come into effect in October 2024 to address growing cybersecurity challenges, particularly by safeguarding critical infrastructure and enhancing the digital ecosystem. The goal is to prevent cyberattacks, standardize cybersecurity measures in the EU, and enhance consumer protection. NIS 2 establishes a robust cybersecurity strategy to secure the digital society.

 

 

How Does IAM Relate to NIS 2?

 

The directive emphasizes strong authentication and rights management, with IAM systems playing a pivotal role in this development. IAM is integral to NIS 2 compliance, providing robust authentication, rights management, and swift response to security events. It underscores these principles to fortify digital security and mandates strict auditing and reporting functions, supported by IAM systems.

The implementation of the directive marks a significant step towards enhanced cybersecurity in Europe.
