NIS2 Cybersecurity Trainings

NIS2 (Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems) requires organizations to implement robust measures to protect the continuity and security of essential services, including the cybersecurity of their networks and systems.

Organizations must provide regular training to employees on cybersecurity practices, ensure management oversight, accountability and support for security policies, and conduct ongoing risk assessments and audits to maintain compliance with NIS2. To ensure compliance is auditable and sustainable, cybersecurity training should be seen as an ongoing effort, not just a one-time activity.

NIS2 Cybersecurity Specifics

The NIS2 directive has established 4 core pillars that are the foundation of the directive and provide input for the further minimum security measures:

Risk Management

NIS2 sets risk management as a general requirement for organizations, including incident management, supply chain security, network security, access control and encryption. Although several of the areas can be managed and mitigated with technical controls, the human element remains a strong factor in general organizational security and requires consistent training.

Corporate Accountability

NIS2 requires corporate management to oversee, approve, and be trained on the entity’s cybersecurity measures and to address cyber risks. Non-compliance can include fines, legal repercussions and even temporary bans from management roles. Therefore, leadership requires an additional level of cybersecurity trainings to stay aware of the threats and risks as well as be informed in making critical business decisions related to security.

Reporting Obligations

NIS2 requires all organizations to establish reporting procedures to notify authorities of possible incidents, for example through a 24-hour “early warning” notification. To ensure timely and adequate communication, information sharing procedures need to be trained to provide insightful information whilst protecting the organization itself.

Business Continuity

NIS2 mandates organizations to plan for business continuity both during and after cyber incidents, to ensure the provision of the service. Creating and managing such plans requires training and play-through of different threat scenarios to raise awareness amongst key members and stay up to date with any changes in organizational procedures.
