As the NIS2 Directive comes into force, heralding a new era of cybersecurity regulation, businesses across the European Union are evaluating their risk management practices. The directive’s focus on risk management is not just a compliance mandate but a strategic imperative to bolster the resilience of essential services against the increasing cyber threats. In this installment of our NIS2 series, we explore how SecDesk’s services are perfectly poised to help businesses meet and exceed these new risk management requirements.

Understanding NIS2’s Risk Management Mandates

NIS2 introduces a stringent framework for risk management that encompasses identification, analysis, evaluation, and mitigation of cybersecurity risks. It demands a proactive approach, ensuring that organizations not only defend against current threats but also anticipate and prepare for future vulnerabilities. This holistic approach to risk management is critical in an era where cyber threats are both sophisticated and ever-evolving.
