Navigating the NIS2 Landscape: Join Our Upcoming Webinar

As the digital landscape evolves, so too do the regulations that govern it. One of the most significant developments in recent years is the introduction of the NIS2 Directive, which aims to enhance cybersecurity across the European Union. To help organizations understand and prepare for these changes, our founder Simon Moffatt will host an insightful webinar panel later this month. This article will delve into what NIS2 is, its implications for identity and security controls, and the pragmatic steps organizations can take to ensure compliance.

What is NIS2?

The NIS2 Directive is an update to the original NIS (Network and Information Systems) Directive, which was established to bolster the cybersecurity resilience of essential services across the EU. NIS2 expands the scope of its predecessor, encompassing a broader range of sectors and organizations, including medium and large enterprises in critical infrastructure, digital services, and more. This expansion means that many organizations that were previously outside the regulatory framework will now need to comply with stringent cybersecurity measures.

The Impact on Identity and Security Controls

One of the key areas that NIS2 will affect is Identity and Access Management (IAM). A recent poll indicated that 62% of respondents believe NIS2 will significantly impact IAM strategies and spending by 2025. With the directive’s emphasis on incident reporting and risk management, organizations will need to reassess their IAM frameworks to ensure they can effectively manage access controls and monitor who has access to sensitive information.

The changes to incident reporting processes will also necessitate a shift in how organizations analyze and report on their security functions. This includes a thorough examination of access rights and the implementation of robust monitoring systems to detect and respond to potential breaches swiftly.
