Why This eBook Matters

NIS2 significantly raises cybersecurity expectations across Europe by requiring organizations to implement comprehensive technical, operational, and organizational security measures. Compliance is no longer limited to large operators of critical infrastructure—many medium-sized organizations and service providers are now included within the directive’s expanded scope.

Organizations must demonstrate effective cybersecurity governance, continuous risk management, incident response capabilities, business continuity planning, supply chain security, and ongoing monitoring of their IT environments.

For organizations running IBM i, implementing native security controls such as comprehensive auditing, privileged access management, multi-factor authentication, file integrity monitoring, encryption, ransomware protection, and real-time threat detection can help support many of the security objectives defined by NIS2 while improving operational resilience.
