As October rolls on, the implementation of the NIS2 Directive in Ireland is poised to introduce substantial regulatory changes, expand its scope to include more industries and impose stricter cybersecurity measures, incident reporting and accountability for management bodies. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines, aiming to enhance cybersecurity resilience across the EU. With the Head of Ireland’s National Cyber Security Centre highlighting a “far greater” risk of significant cyberattacks in the next two years, organisations are now looking to their trusted partners for support/
As a complete cybersecurity solutions partner to organisations throughout Ireland, Viatel’s team of experts have been supporting our customers on their journey to navigating NIS2 and creating a robust cybersecurity strategy that protects their business. In order to establish a robust cybersecurity roadmap, understanding regulatory requirements and establishing a cyber-aware culture are paramount for success.
The Regulatory Landscape
The threat landscape is constantly evolving, with cybercriminals becoming more sophisticated in their tactics. With the introduction of NIS2, the regulatory environment is becoming even more stringent.
NIS2 aims to improve the cybersecurity resilience of critical infrastructure and essential services across the EU. For businesses in Ireland, this means increased scrutiny and higher penalties for non-compliance. The directive will affect every business, either directly or through their supply chains. This is a significant shift, and organisations need to be prepared.
