Achieving NIS 2 Compliance with DDI and Advanced DNS Security

This white paper delves into how DDI solutions and advanced DNS Security play a pivotal role in meeting key NIS 2 requirements for risk management, incident handling, business continuity, and reporting, to help organizations prepare and achieving NIS 2 compliance.

The NIS 2 Directive enhances Europe’s cybersecurity framework by expanding the scope of the original NIS Directive and enforcing stricter security measures. Key requirements of NIS 2 include risk management, incident handling, business continuity, and transparent reporting. In order to avoid substantial fines for non-compliance, organizations must significantly increase their cyber resilience. 

DDI solutions, along with advanced DNS Security, are crucial for meeting the above NIS 2 requirements, by ensuring service availability, data integrity, and effective incident response. These solutions protect users, data, and networks against the growing number of cyber attacks, helping organizations achieve NIS 2 compliance.

Key Takeaways from the White Paper

Innovative DDI solutions, together with advanced DNS Security, offer a robust framework for network and information system security to increase cyber resilience and protect digital infrastructure. They are critical to meeting key NIS 2 requirements:

1. Ensuring Risk Management:  DDI solutions with advanced DNS Security improve risk management with comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date asset inventory and advanced analytics, providing deep visibility.
2. Effective Incident Handling: Smart DNS Security solutions prevent, detect, and respond to incidents quickly and effectively. Security teams can identify and counteract threats like cache poisoning, DNS tunneling, malware, zero-day DNS attacks, data exfiltration, and C&C.
3. Maintaining Business Continuity: DNS Security incorporating adaptive countermeasures helps minimize business impacts of cyber incidents, and ensures critical services and apps can continue to function.
4. Achieving Transparent Reporting: DDI and DNS Security delivering insightful DNS intelligence, metrics, and analytics provide the detailed reporting required by NIS 2. Data sharing with other security components ensures comprehensive threat visibility and efficient incident reporting.
