Members of the EU Parliament, Commission and Council agreed last night to EU-wide cybersecurity rules that would impact industries such as energy, transportation, banking, health, but also some major service providers such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay and others.
The rules will define the new Network and Information Security directive, which will apply to all 28 EU countries, but each country can implement its own laws and regulations to correspond with the directive. For instance, the countries themselves will be the ones to decide which organizations they deem to be operating “essential services,” where the strictest cybersecurity rules will apply.
These organizations will need to ensure that their data is “cyberattack-proof.” Although nothing truly is hacking proof, it should give them enough incentive to always strive for the best security money can buy.
