Navigating NIS2 requirements with Microsoft Security solutions
If you're business is in healthcare, finance or energy, you should be getting ready for the Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2), an expansion of NIS1, the European Union (EU) cybersecurity directive that enforces cybersecurity risk management standards and reporting obligations. Read this Microsoft article to get an overview and links to other resources.
NIS2 is an updated European Union cybersecurity directive that expands upon the previous directive from 2016. It aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and reporting obligations across more sectors and critical organizations. The directive establishes a baseline of security measures for digital service providers and essential service operators to mitigate cyberthreats and improve overall cybersecurity in the EU.
What are the key requirements of NIS2?
NIS2 includes several key requirements such as conducting risk assessments, implementing multifactor authentication, establishing security procedures for employees with access to sensitive data, and ensuring supply chain security. It also emphasizes incident management and business recovery plans, with a focus on securing business continuity and imposing serious repercussions for non-compliance.
How can Microsoft Security solutions assist with NIS2 compliance?
Microsoft Security solutions align with the Zero Trust principles that support NIS2 compliance. Tools like Microsoft Sentinel provide visibility and threat management, while Microsoft XDR helps coordinate responses across assets. Additionally, Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence aids in identifying and mitigating modern threats, ensuring organizations can effectively navigate the new regulatory landscape.
