Law averted
A Californian law was supposed to oblige internet companies to pay levies to regional media companies.
Instead, there are now voluntary payments of millions from Google – and the state.
Defined cybersecurity measures
The new version of the EU NIS Directive not only increases the minimum requirements for cyber security, it also affects significantly more companies than before.
What measures should companies take now?
Comment
The digitalization of industry has made critical infrastructures a popular target for cyber attacks.
The potentially devastating damage to both companies and society makes the topic of cyber security increasingly relevant for legislators.
Four important lessons for compliance
Two new EU regulations are currently keeping companies busy: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which came into force in January 2024 and regulates the areas of cyber security, IT risks and resilience in the financial sector, and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), which was passed in March.
EU Directive
The field of “information security” is currently dealing with a new technical term – “NIS 2.0”. Interested experts are realizing that the new EU Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS 2.0) is also being incorporated into national legislation.
WP.29, NIS-2, EU Cyber Resilience Act
Introduction of AI and WP.29 shows that many companies are probably not prepared for the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the EU Supply Chain Directive.
Feasible or not?
Cloud providers based and operated in the EU could certainly contribute to solving problems related to data transfer and responsibility for stored data.
Study
A new study by Zscaler examines the current state of implementation of NIS 2. The results of a survey of 875 IT executives in Europe show a discrepancy between the confidence of European organizations to achieve compliance with the regulations and the understanding of the requirements.
EU push
At a time when cyber threats are bigger and more sophisticated than ever, the European Union (EU) has taken an important step towards strengthening its digital defenses with the introduction of the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2).
