NIS2.

The NIS2 Directive

The NIS2 Directive represents a significant evolution in EU cybersecurity legislation, expanding upon its predecessor, NIS1, to strengthen digital resilience across more sectors and organizations.

This comprehensive framework introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements, broader reporting obligations, and enhanced supervision measures for essential and important entities throughout the European Union.

Organizations must adapt their security measures, risk management processes, and incident reporting procedures to ensure compliance with these new regulations.

Netadmin and NIS2

The Netadmin NIS2 Project is a key component of our broader Security Journey roadmap. While NIS2 is one aspect of our security strategy, we recognize that cybersecurity is increasingly critical, and Netadmin must stay ahead of emerging threats.

When using Netadmin, our customers must comply with NIS2 regulations, particularly regarding logging and traceability, encryption, and authentication and authorization. We are now looking into the following topics:

• Logging & Traceability: Ensure extensive logging and real-time analysis support to detect malicious behavior, breaches and other security issues. We investigate which events need to be detected, what information should be recorded, and how we can effectively search through this data to detect relevant incidents.

• Encryption: Ensuring encryption in transit and encryption at rest. What is the most efficient and appropriate encryption mechanism to recommend? For example, should at rest encryption be implemented at the database, container or OS level?

• Authentication/Authorization: Ensure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and strong password security mechanisms in all interfaces and systems, with appropriate ACL (Access Control List) and auditing support throughout the solution.

Summary

The NIS2 Project at Netadmin enhances our cybersecurity measures to meet the EU's updated NIS2 Directive's stricter digital resilience and security requirements. We focus on three key areas: comprehensive logging and traceability systems, encryption mechanisms, authentication, and authorization measures—all designed to help our customers meet their regulatory obligations.
