New European Union rules requiring businesses to bolster their cyber defenses are already off to a messy start. For daily news and analysis subscribe to the www.cybersecuritypeek.com newsletter. #CyberSecurity #Tech #DataProtection

"NIS 2 — or the Network and Information Security Directive 2 — is an EU directive that aims to increase the security of IT systems and networks across the bloc The directive applies to organizations that operate within the EU and provide essential services to consumers, including banks, energy suppliers, health care institutions, internet providers, transport firms, and waste processors. Businesses will have a “duty of care” to report and share information on cyber vulnerabilities and hacks with other companies under the new regulation — even if it means owning up to being a victim of a cyber breach. If a business falls victim to a cyber breach, they’ll have 24 hours to submit an early warning notification to authorities — a stricter timeline than the 72-hour window firms have to notify authorities about a data breach under the General Data Protection Regulation…" https://lnkd.in/emt5Yunb #cybersecurity

The Netherlands has closed its consultation phase on its implementation law for the NIS2 Directive (the "Cyberbeveiligingswet"). The next version will then be reviewed and (eventually) approved by the Dutch Parliament and the Senate. In this sense, the Netherlands is behind on meeting its deadline but we are far from alone in that respect. We're tracking the developments of this important act for our clients - particularly as while some elements of the Cyberbeveiligingswet are comprehensive others are missing entirely (I'm looking at you - 'personal liability for management' 🤔). More information about the scope, purposes and impact of this important Directive in the article below.

Today marks the deadline for EU Member States to implement the NIS2 directive into national law. NIS2, part of the EU’s Cybersecurity Strategy, expands its scope to include many new sectors and aims to address the shortcomings of its predecessor. Member States must now ensure compliance to improve their nation security frameworks.   Learn more about the directive and its current implementation status across the EU in the latest update by Rachel De Souza https://lnkd.in/ezMipuBC   #Cybersecurity #NIS2 #DataProtection #DLAPiperEUDD #EUDigitalDecade 

And it's here - NIS2 D-Day has arrived! Or at least today was meant to be the deadline for Member States to have their implementing laws in place. Yet with only 6 of the 26 EU Member States having fully enacted NIS2 into national law, are the EU's ambitions for a fully-harmonised cybersecurity landscape at threat? One thing is certain - it leaves organisations with cross-border operations with a real headache to work out where the new law applies and where it is pending, not to mention analyse the new local laws that have landed to spot any divergences from the Directive's core terms. As ever, at DLA Piper we're using our global presence and expert local counsel to do our best to unwind the NIS2 knots, and will keep on providing updates as national law implementations go live. #NIS2 #Cybersecurity #cyberlaw #dlapiper #EUDigitalDecade

New European Union regulations on cybersecurity are facing challenges as many member states have not yet adopted the rules to meet the enforcement deadline. Research indicates a slow start in implementing the directive. Businesses will have a “duty of care” to report and share information on cyber vulnerabilities and hacks with other companies under the new regulation — even if it means owning up to being a victim of a cyber breach. If a business falls victim to a cyber breach, they’ll have 24 hours to submit an early warning notification to authorities — a stricter timeline than the 72-hour window firms have to notify authorities about a data breach under the General Data Protection Regulation, a separate data privacy law in the EU. Firms will also have to vet their technology vendors one by one for cyber threats and vulnerabilities. #EU #Cybersecurity #Regulations

Yesterday, NIS2 should have been implemented by all Member States. As you can see in our blog, quite some countries are too late and are still in the progress of getting their legislation ready! Quite remarkable I would as say as cyber resilience is considered so important.

As the implementation date for the EU’s cybersecurity directive, NIS 2, nears, companies doing business in the EU, as well as those located there, need to assess whether they are subject to its heightened notification and other requirements.
