Andre Troskie , EMEA Field CISO at Veeam , said : “ NIS2 brings responsibility for cybersecurity beyond IT teams into the boardroom . While many businesses recognise the importance of this directive , the struggle to comply found in the survey highlights significant systemic issues . The combined pressures of other business priorities and IT challenges can explain the delays , but this does not lessen the urgency .
“ Given the rising frequency and severity of cyberthreats , the potential benefits of NIS2 in preventing critical incidents and bolstering data resilience can ’ t be overstated . Leadership teams must act swiftly to bridge these gaps and ensure compliance , not just for regulatory sake but to genuinely enhance organisational robustness and safeguard critical data .”
