The first European Union-wide rules on cybersecurity have been adopted by the European Parliament. Approved on July 6, 2016, the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems(NIS Directive) creates new risk management and incident reporting obligations for both digital service providers and operators of essential services such as banking or transportation. It also aims to improve national cybersecurity capabilities within EU Member States and to increase cybersecurity cooperation across the EU.
