Aligning with the NIS2 Directive: Cybersecurity Guidelines for Europe’s Telecom Operators

The EU’s NIS2 Directive introduces substantial changes in the way all organizations that are defined as ‘Essential Entities’ are required to manage their cybersecurity posture. Cybersecurity in the telecom sector is generally more advanced than many other critical sectors but NIS2 nevertheless imposes important new requirements for telcos to align with.

A focus on traditional compliance must be set aside in favour of a risk management approach. There are detailed requirements relating to the detection and mitigation of cybersecurity incidents as well as requirements relating to who incidents are reported to and when. There are also new requirements on trans-border cyber threat intelligence sharing with peers in other EU member states and a new regime of penalties for non-compliance.

This webinar will discuss implications for telecom operators and guidelines for aligning with the new requirements which member states must implement in national law by October 2024.
