Stay NIS2 compliant with Zabbix

The Network and Information Security (NIS2) directive is a continuation and expansion of NIS, the previous EU cybersecurity directive. It was introduced in 2020 and went into effect on January 16, 2023.

NIS2 expands the scope of NIS and introduces new requirements to help guard against cyber threats. Take a look at a few of the key NIS2 requirements and how Zabbix can help organizations comply with them.
