Congratulations on implementing the European NIS2 directive in Belgium! This law protects our critical infrastructure from current risks. It may seem like a burden now, but it will boost your cyber resilience. Remember, if any of your customers are involved with critical infrastructure, NIS2 might apply to you too.

🚀 Major step-up for (cyber)security in Belgium: adoption of the NIS2 law by the Parliament. Here are the 26 pages of the Bill in French and Dutch 📖 : https://shorturl.at/egnqP #Security #Cybersecurity #Resilience

🔒 News Alert! 🚀 The NIS2 law, focusing on cybersecurity of networks and information systems, has been adopted by the House of Representatives of the Federal Parliament in a plenary session (with zero votes against it!). This landmark legislation aligns with EU Directive 2022/2555 to strengthen cybersecurity across the Union. 💻🔐 The NIS2 law, which was coordinated by the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) and the Prime Minister's Cabinet, is an important step towards making Belgium one of the least cyber-vulnerable countries in the world. It will be complemented in the future by a royal decree, which is expected to be adopted in the coming weeks. https://lnkd.in/eWg5zsng #NIS2 #AdoptedinBelgium #Cybersecurity

Belgium's move to strengthen cybersecurity with the NIS2 law was a significant milestone last week. The unanimous approval by the House of Representatives aligns with EU Directive 2022/2555, setting the stage for enhanced cybersecurity across the Union. Find out how this impacts the digital landscape. 🔒🌐 #Cybersecurity #NIS2 #SecurityCompliance

The belgian NIS2 law has been adopted ! Next (very important) step: the royal decree. Hoping for more details (such as more precise thresholds for notifying CERT)

I hardly dare to say it and I’m actually a little bit ashamed (but don't blame me....). It’s not always the case, but now Belgium is indeed faster (and smarter) than the Netherlands!

On the 27th of March the Belgium Parliaments Commission on Interior Affairs approved a draft law for NIS 2 (EU 2022/ 2055). The bill aims to fully replace the EU NIS 1 Directive in Belgium and forms part of Belgium's Cybersecurity strategy 2.0. The NIS 2 draft will be voted on in April and published om the Belgian Official Journal ahead of the October 2024 transposition deadline and January 2025 implementation date. It is step in the direction of increasing the scope of the original NIS 1 and the focus of on cybersecurity risk management and bringing possible corporate and individual actions on the management committees for covered Critical National Infrastructure providers.

Germany's Federal Ministry of the Interior has introduced the "NIS-2 Implementation and Cybersecurity Strengthening Act" to fortify cybersecurity nationwide. This draft bill extends regulatory coverage to 29,500 entities, imposes stricter reporting requirements, and designates the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) as the supervisory authority. #NIS2 #cybersecurity #cybersecurityregulations

NIS2 Directive: Safeguarding Europe’s Digital Landscape Cybersecurity has become a cornerstone for ensuring the resilience and reliability of strategic sectors. In response to the evolving cyber threat landscape, the European Union has introduced the NIS2 Directive, a comprehensive regulatory framework aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity posture of its member states. The NIS2 Directive, formally known as the Directive (EU) 2022/2555, represents a significant leap forward from its predecessor, the NIS1 Directive. It addresses the limitations of the former legislation by increasing its scope to cover a wider range of sectors and digital services deemed essential for social and economic well-being. The NIS2 Directive sets a new standard for cybersecurity and requires a collective effort from all stakeholders. It is not just a regulatory requirement, but a commitment to building a safer digital environment for all. One of the key aspects of the NIS2 Directive is its comprehensive approach. It goes beyond large enterprises to include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are an integral part of the EU's internal market. This ensures that all organizations, regardless of size, are equipped to manage cyber risks effectively and maintain a high level of security for their networks and information systems. The Directive categorizes entities as either 'essential' or 'important' based on the criticality of their sector, size or the nature of the service they provide. This classification is crucial as it determines the level of obligations and regulatory scrutiny each entity will face. Entities covered by the NIS2 Directive must adhere to strict security requirements, incident reporting protocols and risk management strategies to protect against cyber threats. For organizations previously covered by the NIS Directive, the transition to NIS2 will require a thorough review of the new provisions and an assessment of how they apply in the context of each EU Member State's regulations. The Directive entered into force on 27 of December 2022, and the Member States have until 17 of October 2024 to transpose it into national law. For more details on the NIS2 Directive, please visit
