NIS2: Next Step Forward on EU Security Requirements

NIS2 strengthens EU cybersecurity by expanding the scope of covered 'essential' and 'important' entities, imposing ten mandatory risk-management measures (including vulnerability handling and disclosure), requiring Member States to designate CSIRTs as CVD coordinators, and directing ENISA to maintain a European vulnerability database; the document summarizes the directive’s provisions, transposition timeline, recommended preparation steps for organizations (such as implementing a Vulnerability Disclosure Program), and notes available services to help meet compliance.
