Action description

The EU's NIS 2 Directive, published on December 27, 2022, represents an expanded version of the original 2016 NIS Directive. This new directive will be implemented by EU member states and affected organizations by autumn 2024 must, aims to strengthen cybersecurity in Europe and increase the resilience of critical and essential infrastructure to increasing cyber threats.

The NIS 2 directive primarily affects operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) and companies classified as “important” or “particularly important”. Critical infrastructures include organizations and institutions in the areas of energy supply, water, healthcare, transport and telecommunications that fulfill basic and sometimes vital functions for society. The directive also extends the scope to digital service providers and certain online platforms.
The NIS 2 Directive sets EU-wide standards and requirements for the security of KRITIS. It complements and expands the protective measures that were taken within the framework of the previous KRITIS legislation.
In Germany, the affected companies must meet both the requirements of the KRITIS legislation and the requirements of the NIS 2 directive. This requires comprehensive risk analyzes of networks and information systems as well as the implementation of appropriate security measures such as access controls, encryption technologies and incident response plans. Raising employees' awareness of cyber threats through appropriate training measures is also a central component of the NIS 2-compliant security concepts.One problem is the low awareness of the NIS 2 requirements in many German companies. Despite the significant damage caused by cyber attacks - the German economy loses over 200 billion euros annually - the threat is often underestimated. According to surveys, many employees consider a cyber attack on their own company to be unlikely, and only a few managers show exemplary behavior when it comes to IT security. This is in stark contrast to reality as the number of cybercrime cases continues to rise.
The implementation of the NIS 2 directive in German KRITIS companies is a complex process that can be supported by external cybersecurity service providers. Standards such as ISO27001, which already covers many of the NIS 2 requirements, provide helpful guidance.

Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) systems play a critical role in implementing NIS 2 requirements. They enable centralized management and control of endpoints, automatic deployment of security updates and patches, and real-time monitoring of compliance standards. These systems improve security incident responsiveness and help companies meet new security requirements.
Of particular note is Aagon's ACMP Suite, which is expanding with new features to support the implementation of the NIS 2 directive. This includes, among other things, multi-factor authentication for the ACMP Console as well as important functions for documentation and risk assessment. The suite combines various security tools and programs to counter threats in an automated, prioritized and efficient manner and to ensure that the software used is always provided with the latest security updates.

There is an urgent need for action for the companies affected. Around 30,000 companies in Germany must check whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the NIS 2 directive as suppliers and register with the BSI to avoid penalties. By using UEM solutions, these complex processes can be significantly simplified. ... read more
