The Critical Entities Resilience Directive (CER Directive) and the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2 Directive) were established by the European Union at the end of 2022. These directives aim to strengthen the physical, digital, and economic resilience of European member states. What is the difference between these directives? The CER Directive focuses on protecting organizations against physical threats, such as the consequences of (terrorist) crimes, sabotage, and natural disasters. In contrast, the NIS2 Directive focuses on digital (cyber) risks for network and information systems, such as the internet and payment traffic. Both directives impose a duty of care on organizations to take security measures and a reporting obligation to report incidents. In this blog, we will delve into how you can prepare for the CER Directive.
