Read the Solution Overview Document to achieve NIS 2 Compliance with DDI. The NIS 2 Directive enhances Europe’s cybersecurity framework by expanding the scope of the original NIS Directive and enforcing stricter security measures. In order to avoid substantial fines for non-compliance, organizations must significantly increase cyber resilience.

DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI), along with advanced DNS Security, are critical to provide comprehensive visibility and control across hybrid multicloud environments and protect users, data, and networks against cyber threats, ensuring service availability and data integrity. This aligns with key NIS 2 requirements for risk management, incident handling, business continuity, and transparent reporting, helping organizations achieve NIS 2 compliance.

NIS 2 Context and Overview

In an ever-growing cybersecurity threat landscape, the rapid evolution of digitization has heightened the need for robust cybersecurity measures. According to the latest IDC DNS Threat Report, 90% of organizations have suffered DNS attacks in 2023, with the average cost of a DNS attack estimated at $1.1 million. In this threatening context, the NIS 2 Directive aims to enhance cybersecurity resilience across the European Union (EU) by broadening the scope of cybersecurity requirements, covering a wide range of entities and sectors, and enforcing top management accountability. Businesses must comply with the directive to avoid substantial fines, up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover for essential entities.
