Due to the increasing threats and the growing number of IT security incidents, the European Union published the second EU Directive on Network and Information Security (known as the NIS-2 Directive) in December 2022. This directive came into force on January 16, 2023, and must be implemented into national law by the EU member states by October 17, 2024. The goal of the NIS-2 Directive is to establish a high common level of cybersecurity across the EU, tighten the requirements of the previous NIS-1 Directive, and extend them to new sectors. Previously, in Germany, only Critical Infrastructures (KRITIS) were subject to binding regulations. With the implementation of NIS-2, large areas of the private sector, which were previously not legally required to act, will now be regulated for the first time.
