NIS2 Directive
Avoid noncompliance and mitigate the risk of cyberthreats
The European Union has introduced the NIS2 Directive, an update to its cybersecurity strategy aimed at protecting critical services and networks.
For businesses that operate in the EU, regardless of headquarter location, complying with this directive is required for a variety of industries classified as Essential and Important, spanning organizations in energy, banking, healthcare, digital infrastructure, and more. Meeting the directive is critical as failure to comply will result in financial penalties.
