Presenters:
John O'Brien, Senior Research Analyst, Uptime Institute
Antonio Ramos, Executive Director, LEET Security, an Uptime Institute Company

Summary:

European cybersecurity regulations have become effective and will have a major impact on both critical infrastructures and their cybersecurity management. This webinar will discuss the NIS2 Directive, the European Union’s updated cybersecurity framework, which replaced the original NIS Directive and expands the original scope. NIS2 also has a direct influence on data centers and DORA, which has been mandatory since the beginning of 2025, and is specific for financial sector entities and their suppliers, CRA (Cybersecurity Resilience Act) and the European regulation on cybersecurity of critical infrastructures.

This discussion will address the impact of these regulations on existing and future digital infrastructures, and how to address both the required compliance and its use as an improvement opportunity.
