The clock has ticked past the NIS2 Directive compliance deadline, organizations across the EU are preparing to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements. At CTERA, we recognize the critical importance of this directive and are committed to helping businesses navigate their compliance journey with robust solutions. 

Understanding NIS2 and Its Impact 

The NIS2 Directive is a significant update aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity posture of critical infrastructure and essential services within the EU. Unlike its predecessor, NIS2 extends compliance requirements across the entire third-party supply chain and introduces personal liability for corporate management in cases of non-compliance. This directive underscores the importance of cybersecurity as a core component of national security. 

CTERA’s Role in NIS2 Compliance 

CTERA offers a suite of solutions designed to support organizations in achieving NIS2 compliance. Our platform provides comprehensive data protection, secure backup, and efficient data management capabilities, all crucial for meeting the directive’s requirements. 

  • WORM (Write Once Read Many) Compliance: CTERA Vault’s WORM feature ensures that data is stored in a tamper-proof format, preventing unauthorized modifications. This is essential for maintaining data integrity and meeting compliance standards. Administrators can manage compliance settings for cloud folders, ensuring that data retention policies are adhered to and that critical information remains secure over time. 
  • Data Security and Recovery: With CTERA, businesses can achieve multi-layered data protection and fast, reliable recovery. Our platform includes built-in malware protection, with honeypot-based traps to detect data exfiltration. CTERA also offers Ransom Protect, AI-based ransomware protection with end-to-end incident management covering prevention and recovery, as well as secure, automated orchestration, ensuring that organizations can quickly bounce back from cyber incidents. 
  • Robust Risk Management: By utilizing cloud and instant recoveries, CTERA allows unparalleled business continuity in case of any disaster. Our solutions enable organizations to implement effective risk management strategies, covering prevention, recovery, and access control. These measures are vital for minimizing cyber risks and ensuring business continuity. 
  • Duty to Report: CTERA facilitates the establishment of processes for promptly reporting significant security incidents, for example, by providing detailed forensic reports for incidents, highly granular audit logs, and CTERA Insight data analytics tools allowing analysis of security incidents from both insiders and external threat actors. This aligns with NIS2’s emphasis on corporate accountability and transparency. 

With the NIS2 compliance deadline behind us, we stand ready to assist organizations in strengthening their cybersecurity frameworks. By leveraging our advanced data protection and management solutions, businesses can confidently meet the directive’s requirements and safeguard their operations against evolving cyber threats.
