NIS2 Impact Study

The Cybersecurity landscape is ever changing and evolving. The speed with which the field is moving was obvious from the reform of the 2016 Network and Information Security Directive, which took place only a few years after the NIS1 was transposed to national legislation of the Member States. Changes in cybersecurity law are geared by the development of technologies, the growing reliance and dependence on information and security networks, and the new ways attackers exploit vulnerabilities and launch their cyber-attacks, and the effectiveness of the existing legislation. After a two-year legislative process, political agreement on NIS2 took place in May 2022.

The question that remains is: what impact is the new NIS Directive expected to have on the CSIRT tasks and responsibilities of the NCSC?
