NIS2 introduces stringent cybersecurity requirements for a wide range of organizations in the EU. By understanding the key provisions and partnering with trusted providers like Salvador Technologies, businesses can ensure compliance and protect their critical infrastructure from cyberattacks.
A New Era of Cybersecurity Compliance
The Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS) was a groundbreaking piece of EU legislation that aimed to bolster cybersecurity across the continent.
NIS2 is a more stringent and comprehensive cybersecurity regulation that applies to a wider range of organizations than its predecessor. It mandates a higher level of security measures and introduces new requirements for incident reporting and cooperation. The directive is designed to improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and protect essential services from cyberattacks.
Key provisions related to response and recovery under NIS2 include:
Incident response plans:Â Organizations must develop and maintain detailed incident response plans that outline the steps to be taken in the event of a cyberattack. These plans should cover everything from detection and containment to recovery and lessons learned.
Recovery capabilities:Â Organizations must have the necessary resources, processes, and technologies in place to ensure a timely and effective recovery from cyber incidents. This includes having backup and recovery systems, contingency plans, and the ability to restore critical services.
Cooperation and information sharing:Â NIS2 promotes cooperation between member states and organizations to improve incident response and recovery capabilities. This includes sharing information about threats, vulnerabilities, and best practices.
The importance of response and recovery
The ability to respond effectively to cyberattacks and recover quickly is essential for protecting critical infrastructure and ensuring business continuity. A well-prepared organization can minimize the impact of incidents, reduce financial losses, and maintain customer trust.
