Why should I be aware of the NIS Directive?
The Network & Information Systems Directive for Security (NIS Directive) is an EU directive regarding our critical infrastructures in Europe, including:
Electricity
Water: including treatment and waste
Oil & Gas
Health
Transportation
Digital Infrastructure: including cloud storage, online market places and search engines
It not only impacts providers and operators of these services and infrastructures, but the whole of European society. It came into law in all EU countries in May 2018, and sets out particular requirements regarding:
Managing security risk
Protecting against cyber attacks
Detecting cyber security events
Minimising the impact of cyber incidents
This includes policy requirements for the Information Technology (IT) systems of critical infrastructure providers and operators of essential services (OES), and also the Operations Technology (OT) systems including industrial control systems such as SCADA and IIoT.
