Putting NIS2 Into Context

The Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2) is the European Union’s updated cybersecurity legislation, developed to strengthen cybersecurity across the EU with a focus on critical infrastructure and essential services. NIS2 replaces the previous NIS Directive, introduced in 2016, and modernises the legal framework to keep pace with increased digitisation and evolving cybersecurity threats.

This directive represents the EU’s most comprehensive cybersecurity legislation, partly through strengthening the security posture of European software development but also by introducing stronger reporting requirements and penalties for failing to comply.
