Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned experts in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. Today we consider the NIS2 Directive, which is the EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity. It provides legal measures to boost the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU.
Cybersecurity regulations are reshaping the landscape, demanding swift action and accountability from organizations and individuals. The NIS2 Directive tightens reporting deadlines, putting pressure on organizations to comply with cybersecurity incidents. This means that organizations need to be prepared to act quickly and efficiently in the event of a cyber incident to avoid penalties and maintain trust with their stakeholders. Management faces increased personal liability under the NIS 2 Directive, highlighting the need for proactive cybersecurity measures. This emphasizes the importance of implementing strong cybersecurity protocols and staying ahead of potential threats to protect both the organization and individual leaders from legal and financial repercussions.
Regulatory bodies advocate for a shift towards prevention in cybersecurity to combat rising cyber threats. This shift in focus underscores the importance of investing in proactive cybersecurity measures rather than simply reacting to incidents after they occur, ultimately leading to a more secure and resilient digital environment.
