Since the introduction of the NIS2 legislation last October, 2410 organizations from critical sectors have registered with the Center for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB). The largest ever cyber security operation in the country is currently underway. During this period, reports of cyber incidents increased by 80%.
Cybercrime is set to explode in the coming years. The new European Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) aims to improve the cybersecurity and resilience of essential and key services in well-defined sectors in the EU.
Belgium was the first European member state to fully implement the new NIS2 directive. Belgian organizations covered by the NIS2 legislation have until tomorrow to register on the website atwork.safeonweb.be on a mandatory basis and are currently taking the necessary security measures such as protection against cyber attacks and data breaches.
