What is NIS2? Discover the new EU Cybersecurity Directive

The NIS2 Directive is an updated version of the EU’s Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive from 2016. It was introduced to address the increasing cyber threats and to improve the security of digital infrastructures across critical sectors in the EU. NIS2 significantly broadens the scope of its predecessor and imposes tougher security obligations on businesses, particularly those that provide essential services or are part of critical infrastructure. As part of these obligations, NIS2 Cyber Hygiene practices, including secure password management, phishing prevention, and safe data handling, are essential for organizations to maintain compliance and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture.

Why NIS2 Compliance is important for businesses and professionals

NIS2 compliance is vital for businesses and professionals to meet EU cybersecurity requirements—and NIS2 Directive training is the key to achieving it. As the directive enforces stricter security, reporting, and governance standards, training helps employees understand their responsibilities, reduce cyber risks, and support organizational compliance. For professionals, NIS2 certification enhances credibility, prepares them for regulatory audits, and contributes to a stronger security culture across all sectors.
