DORA & NIS2 compliance: Strengthening cybersecurity in 2025

In response to evolving cyber threats, the European Union has introduced the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) to enhance cybersecurity across various sectors, including finance, energy, and healthcare. These regulations aim to establish comprehensive standards for compliance, risk management, and incident reporting, with DORA focusing on digital resilience in the financial sector and NIS2 expanding requirements to other critical infrastructures. Sysdig, a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform, offers out-of-the-box compliance policies to help organizations meet these regulations by providing extensive security controls for cloud environments, identity management, and ICT risk management. The regulations demand timely incident reporting, with DORA requiring financial entities to report major incidents within four hours and NIS2 mandating breach reports within 24 hours. Sysdig supports compliance by implementing numerous security controls, facilitating organizations to maintain robust cybersecurity measures and adapt to the regulatory landscape efficiently.
