Title


NIS2 is a regulatory directive by the European Union to enhance the resilience, security, and integrity of network and information systems. Since the directive will be turned into national law by October 2024, the time to say goodbye to on-premise legacy solutions and meet the requirements with the help of the public cloud is now.
MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF SECURITY THREATS AND VULNERABILITIES

The Second Directive on Network and Information Security (NIS2) is a comprehensive update to the existing NIS Directive, which was passed in 2016. NIS2 introduces several new security measures and requirements for organizations, with a focus on regular risk management assessments, incident response plans, and security audits to detect and mitigate security threats and vulnerabilities.


To ensure that companies protect themselves adequately against cyber security threats and incidents that could disrupt their operation, the Directive covers a wider range of sectors and critical services. Among others, the sectors included are:

AVOID LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH APPROPRIATE MEASURES

Whether you are affected by the NIS2 Directive depends on the size of your organization. The distinction is made between Essential Entities and Important Entities – with some exceptions:


  • Essential Entities: Large organizations with over 250 employees, a turnover of more than 50 Mio. EUR and/or balance of more than 43 Mio. EUR

  • Important Entities: Medium-sized organizations with 50-249 employees, a turnover of less than 50 Mio. EUR and/or balance of less than 43 Mio. EUR


If your company falls into one of these two categories, you have to comply with the Directive by the time it is turned into national law in your country. Otherwise, the sanctions include fines of at least 10 Mio. EUR up to 2% of your turnover worldwide, while your management will be held legally responsible.


While the exact sanctions are due to be decided within the EU national laws, you can take most of the necessary security measures to avoid them now – in and with the public cloud.


HOW THE PUBLIC CLOUD SOLVES MOST OF YOUR NIS2 WORRIES

By design, the public cloud helps organizations comply with most of the NIS2 requirements. The cloud offers advanced tools for:

Being cloud native since 2012, Zoi accompanies you to protect your critical systems from cyber threats and solve your NIS2 worries along the way. This is how:

    GOOGLE WORKSPACE

        Google Workspace is a powerful platform that enhances productivity and enables seamless collaboration for teams regardless of their physical location. It unites various workplace necessities – such as chat, email, voice and video calling, document collaboration, task management, storage, security tools like IAM, and admin controls – and integrates Zero Trust into the core of the organization.


        Besides, it provides intelligent security insights, logging, and monitoring to identify potential issues before they become actual risks. Therefore, proactive protections ensure that users' sensitive data is safe, their loss is widely prevented, and the data is secure from emerging threats while users perform their work tasks because all transmitted data remains encrypted, even if intercepted by unauthorized third parties. At the same time, Google Workspace manages capacity and cloud storage effectively, ensuring users don’t exceed their data limits.


        With Zoi's end-to-end implementation of Google Workspace, you can expect enterprise-scale consulting, planning, and implementation to ensure smooth integration of this platform into your business operation.

        Zoi provides license optimization and procurement services for the efficient allocation of funds. Existing applications and tools can also integrate seamlessly with Google Workspace. We assist with process modernization and clean-up of legacy systems, incident management, and support.

        As part of the change management process, we ensure smooth user onboarding and employee acceptance.

    CLOUD SYSTEMS HARDENING

        Cloud hardening is a safeguard against cyber attacks. By enabling security services, following best practices, and implementing supporting processes and standards to minimize the attack surface, you enhance the overall security posture of your systems – making them more resistant to unauthorized access, data breaches, malware infections, and other cyber threats. It is an essential pillar of any cybersecurity strategy.


        Zoi conducts a cloud security configuration assessment to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize them based on their potential impact, in line with vendors and market best practices such as CIS. It is essential to ensure the necessary processes and procedures are implemented, and the stakeholders are informed.

        Moreover, we help you define and implement cloud security standards and monitor their compliance. This way, you can automatically alert the relevant personnel. We also collect and forward logs to central Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions.

        Monitoring vulnerabilities is a crucial aspect of cloud security. We enable the vendor's cloud native solutions to detect vulnerabilities and intrusions. With our support, you can have peace of mind that your cloud security is optimized and protected from potential cyber-attacks.

    DISASTER RECOVERY-AS-A-SERVICE

        Accidents happen. Files become corrupted, a physical disaster strikes, and servers become compromised by external attacks (e.g. ransomware). To make things worse, in certain cases, there is a legal obligation to inform when servers are down. This can have lasting and damaging effects on a company‘s image. Having a backup of databases and application servers and a system to restore them is critical for all companies. 


        Managing backups and establishing a reliable on-prem disaster recovery system comes with many challenges including being expensive, occupying significant and valuable server space, and requiring significant manual effort. Adopting a cloud-based, multi-regional disaster recovery strategy can help mitigate a lot of problems seen with traditional self-managed systems. 


        In our DRaaS workshop, we discuss disaster recovery concepts and strategies, the benefits of adopting a cloud-based approach, and your company’s current situation. We also outline different options relevant for you; taking cost-effective configurations into account. After the workshop, you will receive a summary of the different backup and DR options with advantages and disadvantages, a technical recommendation based on your company’s current situation, and an estimated cost and timeline for implementation.

    TRAINING: CYBER SECURITY IN TRANSITION

        The training »Cyber Security in transition« aims to sensitize the mostly dispersed contact persons to the topic of security and to take a broad view. This way, employees are empowered to actively and collaboratively shape and ensure the change in security.


        In two days, our training covers a brief but comprehensive overview of ISO 27001, which is a widely used standard for information security management systems.

        Apart from that, we discuss network and perimeter security, web security from an infrastructure perspective, and logs and alerting. We also delve into more specialized topics such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to help businesses effectively manage their IT systems.

        Additionally, the training focuses on container and Kubernetes security, zero trust concepts, and federated authentication, which are significant features in securing modern computing environments.
