NIS Directive (Network and Information Systems Directive)

The NIS Directive is a European law that aims to strengthen the cybersecurity of essential services like energy, transportation, banking, and healthcare. It sets standards for organizations to prevent and manage cyber threats, requiring them to identify risks, implement security measures, and report major incidents. The goal is to improve overall resilience against cyber attacks, protect vital infrastructure, and ensure the digital ecosystem functions smoothly and securely across EU member states.
