Enhancing Cybersecurity In the EU: An In-Depth Look at the NIS2 Directive and Its Impact On M&A/D
The updated EU cybersecurity directive, known as NIS2, is set to be implemented by October 17, 2024, building on the original NIS Directive from 2016. NIS2 expands its scope to include digital service providers alongside operators of essential services, affecting 15 industry sectors. It mandates stricter cybersecurity requirements, including enhanced risk management, supply chain security, and incident reporting, with more severe penalties for non-compliance. The directive aims to strengthen cybersecurity across the EU by requiring organizations to implement robust measures and hold corporate management accountable for cybersecurity oversight.
