NIS2 Introduction
This training introduces the key points of the EU’s NIS2 directive, which sets cybersecurity requirements for organisations delivering ‘essential’ and ‘important’ services across the EU. You will learn who the directive applies to, how organisations are classified, and how to find out if your organisation falls within its scope.
You will also gain a clear understanding of the core security requirements NIS2 demands, including risk assessments, supplier security, access control, and employee training.
Finally, the training explains what the directive expects from top management and the consequences of non-compliance, including heavy fines and personal liability.
Course Topics
Lesson 1) Who does NIS2 apply to?
NIS2 is a set of rules regarding the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure within the EU. It aims to strengthen the supply of essential goods and services in the EU against cyber threats.
The directive aims to protect these organisations by raising the minimum cybersecurity standards in their sectors.
Lesson 2) NIS2 Minimum Requirements
NIS2 requires your organisation to adequately address all IT security risks that could threaten the delivery of your goods and services to the end user.
Regardless of these specific risks, NIS2 requires all organisations to implement a set of mandatory security measures.
Lesson 3) NIS2 Management Obligations
A distinctive aspect of NIS2 is its emphasis on requiring top management to take greater responsibility for cybersecurity. This includes strategic leaders like the CEO, CTO, and Board members.
