The NIS 2 Directive, formally known as Directive (EU) 2022/2555, represents a significant advancement in the European Union’s approach to cybersecurity. Building on the foundations of the original NIS Directive, NIS 2 expands its scope to cover a broader range of sectors and entities, ensuring that critical infrastructure across the EU is better protected against cyber threats. The directive introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements, including enhanced measures for securing supply chains and streamlined reporting obligations. 

In this three-part video series, our Technology and Innovation Group delves into what to expect from NIS2, highlighting the new requirements and guidelines.
