Directive (EU) 2022/2555 establishes a framework for enhancing the cybersecurity posture across the European Union. This directive aims to create a high common level of cybersecurity to protect networks, information systems, and the data they handle, from cyber threats and incidents. This is crucial given the rising scale and sophistication of cyber-attacks and the increasing dependency on digital technologies in critical sectors.
The directive updates and expands upon previous EU cybersecurity legislation, reflecting the need for an updated and more robust approach due to technological advances and evolving cyber threats. It aims to harmonise cybersecurity measures across the EU, ensuring that all member states have strong preventive and responsive strategies in place to manage cybersecurity risks and incidents effectively.
Directive (EU) 2022/2555 is a cornerstone in the EU's strategy to strengthen cybersecurity defences across the union. By establishing a common framework and increasing cooperation among member states, the directive aims to make the digital single market safer for all stakeholders, enhancing the resilience of essential services against cyber threats.
