Key pillars of NIS2:
The NIS2 Directive signifies a shift in cybersecurity strategy, emphasizing a holistic approach for entities deemed essential and important. This strategy grounded in both policy and technology, focuses on governance, risk management, incident detection and response and reporting obligations.
The NIS 2 Directive is a comprehensive framework that requires critical entities to maintain stringent cybersecurity governance standards, emphasizing accountability of management bodies, mandating their active involvement in approving and overseeing cybersecurity risk management measures.
The Directive requires the formation of a cybersecurity incident response team (CSIRT) to handle and report significant cyber incidents to authorities quickly, creating effective and prompt incident management.
Entities must establish robust risk management policies and practices including preparedness exercises, business continuity plans, secure supply chains, and multifactor authentication and encryption to help protect OT systems.
