Network and Information Security (NIS 2) Directive
NIS 2 is the EU's second directive to improve cybersecurity across its member states. It requires EU-designated Essential and Important entities (like energy providers, transportation services, and waste management) to take stricter measures to protect themselves from cyberattacks. This includes having a solid plan for managing security risks, reporting incidents quickly, and ensuring that suppliers are secure.
Essentials for Navigating NIS 2
Utilize a Security Framework
Leveraging a security framework (e.g., ISO27001, CIS Controls) aligns with NIS 2 by structuring a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. This framework guides risk management, fortifies controls, and enhances endpoint protection & vulnerability patching. It facilitates reporting & threat detection, ultimately strengthening an organization's security posture.
Fuel Faster Responses with Threat Correlation
NIS 2 demands a swift response to cyberattacks. WatchGuard's ThreatSync+ Network Detection and Response (NDR) correlates data across your network, identifying hidden threats and prioritizing incidents. This empowers faster response times, minimizing damage and ensuring compliance with reporting regulations.
Demonstrate Deep Visibility and Complete Control
Reporting and visibility are central to NIS 2. WatchGuard Cloud centralizes logs and security data, while the Advanced Reporting Tool delivers in-depth insights. Analyze application usage, identify vulnerabilities, track bandwidth consumption, and monitor endpoint health – all crucial for NIS 2 compliance. Gain real-time visibility and generate reports to meet regulatory requirements with ease.
Embrace a Layered Defense
A strong barrier against cyber threats requires multiple defenses, and WatchGuard's Endpoint Security suite delivers. Critical for meeting NIS 2 mandates, it blocks threats, automates patching, encrypts data for ultimate protection, and controls data to prevent unauthorized access. This comprehensive approach empowers you to meet compliance requirements and safeguard your valuable data confidently.
