Cybersecurity in the EU – Why we need NIS2 and what changes does it mean for the tech sector?
Cybersecurity is one of the European Commission's top priorities and a cornerstone of the digital and connected Europe. An increase of cyber attacks during the COVID crisis has shown how important it is to protect hospitals, research centres and other critical infrastructure. According to the Commission, the review of the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2) is an essential step towards a more resilient Europe, ensuring state-of-the-art risk management of current and emerging cyber threats to vital sectors of the EU economy and society.
