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.
