Recognizing shortcomings in NIS1, NIS2 focuses on improving cyberresilience and risk management across essential service providers, streamline cyberresilience through stricter security requirements and penalties for violations, and improve the EU’s preparedness to deal with cyberattacks.With the aim to increase efficiency to managing large-scale cybersecurity crises across the EU, member states are mandated to designate national authorities for cybercrisismanagement and companies are obliged to address a core set of minimum requirements in their cybersecurity policies.
The implementation of NIS2 revolutionizes cybersecurity standards by streamlining incident reporting and mandating a multi-stage approach for organizations. Companies are now required to adhere to specific timelines, submitting an early warning within 24 hours, an incident notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month. Muninn, with its ability to capture intricate packet data, facilitates efficient incident reporting through its Chain of Events and Muninn Report features, enabling swift and detailed documentation.
In line with NIS2's emphasis on an all-hazards approach to cybersecurity, Muninn contributes by offering ongoing visibility into insecure encryption key usage and monitoring expired certificates, aligning with the directive's focus on incident management, robust supply chain security, enhanced network security, improved access control, and encryption measures.
Moreover, the directive compels organizations to strategize for business continuity during cyberincidents, necessitating recovery systems, emergency protocols, and incident response teams. Muninn AI Prevent complements this directive by swiftly isolating attackers, affording crucial response time, and preventing further damage. Its capacity for detailed network traffic data simplifies reporting, enabling organizations to maintain operational efficiency amidst cyber threats.
