The European Commission has officially adopted its first set of implementing rules under the NIS2 Directive, marking a significant step in enhancing the cybersecurity of critical entities and networks across the European Union.<\/h2>\n

The NIS2 Directive, aimed at achieving a high standard of cybersecurity throughout the Union, outlines specific measures for managing cybersecurity risks.<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, it sets out clear criteria for identifying and reporting significant cyber incidents to national authorities, strengthening Europe’s cyber resilience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for Europe Fit for the Digital Age, commented: “Cybersecurity is one of the main building blocks for the protection of our citizens and our infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“In today’s cybersecurity landscape, stepping up our capabilities, security requirements, and rapid information sharing with up-to-date rules is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n

“I urge the remaining Member States to implement these rules at a national level as fast as possible to ensure that the services which are critical for our societies and economies are cyber secure.”<\/p>\n

New rules apply to key digital service providers<\/h3>\n

The new cybersecurity regulations target essential categories of companies that provide vital digital services, such as cloud computing, data centres, online marketplaces, search engines, and social networking platforms.<\/p>\n

The implementing act also provides a framework to determine when a cyber incident should be deemed ‘significant.’ Companies in these sectors must report such incidents to national authorities, enabling swift action to mitigate any potential harm.<\/p>\n

The NIS2 Directive will be crucial in fortifying the cyber defences of these digital infrastructure providers, which play a critical role in the functioning of Europe’s digital economy.<\/p>\n

The regulation will ensure that these companies implement adequate risk management measures to safeguard their systems and the sensitive data they handle.<\/p>\n

NIS2 Directive to be enforced across all EU Member States<\/h3>\n

The adoption of these regulations coincides with the deadline for EU Member States to transpose the NIS2 Directive into their national laws.<\/p>\n

As of 18 October 2024, all Member States are required to apply the cybersecurity measures outlined in the directive. This includes stringent supervisory and enforcement measures to ensure compliance, marking a new era in EU-wide cybersecurity governance.<\/p>\n

Building on previous policy<\/h3>\n

The NIS2 Directive, which replaced the original 2016 NIS Directive, represents a key element in the EU’s strategy to secure its digital future.<\/p>\n

With the official rules published soon, the implementing regulation will take effect 20 days after publication, providing a more robust legal framework to tackle cyber threats.<\/p>\n

By strengthening security requirements, enhancing information sharing, and harmonising sanctions across Member States, the NIS2 Directive aims to create a safer digital landscape for the entire Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
