NIS2 Directive Compliance and Cyber Resilience

This solution brief outlines the Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2), a European Union law aimed at enhancing cybersecurity across the EU. NIS2 replaces the original NIS Directive and broadens its scope to include various sectors such as energy, transport, health, and finance. Essential entities (EEs) and important entities (IEs) must adhere to stricter compliance requirements, including frequent security assessments and incident reporting. The directive, effective from January 16, 2023, mandates that organizations providing services in the EU implement cybersecurity risk management measures to protect their network and information systems. Key requirements include risk assessments, security policies, incident handling, and business continuity planning. The brief also discusses how Commvault Cloud can assist organizations in meeting these requirements by providing capabilities for data protection, threat detection, and recovery processes. Commvault's solutions aim to enhance resilience and ensure compliance with NIS2, helping organizations mitigate risks associated with cyber threats.
