Challenges and Practical Application of the NIS2 Directive

Abstract

The NIS2 Directive aims to enhance the cybersecurity resilience of critical infrastructures in the European Union, strengthening organizations' preparedness against cybersecurity threats. The legislation establishes a unified European framework, which came into force in 2024. The presentation elaborates on the requirements set forth by Article 21, such as risk analysis, incident management, and awareness-building. Additionally, it highlights Hungary's pioneering role, which implemented one of the strictest adaptations of the European regulation. The summary seeks to underline the significance of the NIS2 Directive and the challenges arising in the European and Hungarian contexts. The successful application of the directive may not only ensure compliance but also lead to a higher level of cybersecurity across the continent.
