Joint Standards- NIS2 & CyberScope – CyberScope Helps with applying compliance at the critical edge!
The requirement for South African Finance and Insurance institutions to apply “The Joint Standards 2 of 2024 Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience” is approaching fast. See the standard HERE.
The similarity of this standard to the EU NIS2 is clear if you read the two side by side. Hence it is a good idea to understand how the CyberScope helps enterprises comply to both standards. The following post from NetAlly should be of interest.
CyberScope Addresses Three Critical NIS2 Measures at the Challenging Edge
Key EU Member Entities and Other Organisations Doing Business in the EU Must Now Demonstrate Compliance
- Right now, all EU member states must implement the measures necessary to comply with the NIS2 cybersecurity requirements, including supervisory and enforcement measures.
- Time is of the essence as once enforcement begins, “essential” and “important” EU entities within each member state must demonstrate compliance with the NIS2 directive measures.
- Non-EU companies must also fulfil these NIS2 measures if they offer services or operate infrastructure within the EU*.
To add insult to injury, the edge network is quickly emerging** as a major obstacle to an organization’s cybersecurity defenses, with many existing tools leaving gaps at the perimeter that can be exploited. This further complicates NIS2 measure compliance.
If you think plugging all the security gaps in your edge networks is Mission Impossible it’s time to reset your expectation – with CyberScope, it isn’t even ‘mission difficult’.
The handheld design provides a valuable “see the edge, from the edge” perspective, filling the gaps of other solutions and serving as the security team’s “feet on the street”. Rogue devices, undetected vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations can’t hide from CyberScope.
To find out more and understand where possible gaps in your edge security might be leaving you vulnerable, compromising your NIS2 efforts, read Brad Reinboldt’s new blog, Elimination of Edge Network Vulnerabilities—Mission Impossible?
