NIS2 is the European Union's directive on cybersecurity. Member states have until October 17, 2024, to implement it. But what changes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Acronym for Network and Information Security 2, the NIS2 <\/strong>is the directive issued by the European Union, with the aim of strengthen cybersecurity and the resilience of critical infrastructures in all Member States.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy, EU's black sheep for cyber attacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Trend Micro, Italy is the leading country in Europe for malware attacks<\/strong> and the fourth in the world, after Japan, the United States, and India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU is also struggling on this front, with approximately 2,799 serious incidents in 2023 (Clusit data).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also to reduce the number of these attacks that the European Union has introduced new legislation<\/strong>, which replaces NIS1, issued in 2016. The Member states have until October 17 of this year to transpose the directive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the main innovations it introduces?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Expand the areas of application<\/strong>: the NIS2 extends security obligations to sectors such as telecommunications, energy, transport, financial services, and public administration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Introduce new categories<\/strong> of stakeholders in the regulation, dividing them into \"essential\" and \"important\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Obliges companies to develop new security policies <\/strong>informatics, such as risk analysis and security assessment of the supply chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Reduces the time for incident notification<\/strong>, which must be reported promptly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. It foresees hefty fines<\/strong>, up to 10 million euros, for significant entities in case of violations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
