The transition from NIS1 to NIS2 marks a significant evolution in the EU's approach to cybersecurity.

NIS1 laid the groundwork for network and information systems security, focusing primarily on essential service providers, while NIS2 expanded this framework, incorporating a wider range of sectors and entities, and emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity practices.
