What the NIS2 Directive means for application security
This Dynatrace white paper explains the implications of the NIS2 Directive for application security. Effective October 2024, NIS2 mandates stricter cybersecurity risk management and faster incident reporting for essential and important entities in the EU. Incidents must be reported in three stages: early warning (24h), incident notification (72h), and final report (1 month). Organizations must enhance risk management, ensure corporate accountability, and adopt zero-trust and real-time monitoring practices. Dynatrace supports compliance with AI-driven observability, automated vulnerability detection, and security analytics to reduce risk and improve response times.
