Fulfillment of NIS2 detection requirements

The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is a key EU regulation designed to significantly raise cybersecurity standards for critical businesses. The regulation places particular emphasis on the ability of organizations to quickly identify cyber threats (detection) and respond appropriately (response). By using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, organizations can ensure compliance with these requirements and strengthen their security infrastructure.

Detection requirements for NIS2

Real Time Threat Detection

The NIS2 SIEM requirement obliges companies to continuously monitor their network and information systems in order to detect unusual activities or security incidents at an early stage. A SIEM system aggregates and analyzes log data from various sources to identify threats in real time.

Anomaly detection

SIEM solutions should be able to detect suspicious activities that could indicate possible security breaches. This includes the analysis of user behavior and the identification of deviations from normal patterns, so-called anomalies.

Threat Intelligence

The integration of threat databases into SIEM systems enables companies to quickly identify and respond to known threats. We provide you with comprehensive threat intelligence information from public and proprietary sources, consolidated and pre-qualified.

Incident correlation

By correlating events from different sources, SIEM systems can better detect complex attacks and issue alerts that indicate multiple related incidents. Only in this way can the detection requirements be implemented in a compliant manner.

Reaction requirements via NIS2

Rapid incident resolution

Companies must ensure that they have processes and technologies in place to respond quickly to detected threats. A well-implemented SIEM system supports automated alerting and can initiate pre-configured response scenarios.

Forensic analysis

After a security incident, a detailed forensic analysis is required to identify the cause and prevent future incidents. A SIEM analysis is usually no longer sufficient. With our expert knowledge, we carry out professional forensic analyses for you in the event of damage.

Incident Reports

DORA and NIS2 require organizations to report significant incidents to the relevant authorities in an expedited manner. SIEM systems support you in mapping these requirements by providing detailed reports.

Trainings

Preparing employees to respond to incidents is crucial. With our consulting services, we support you in raising awareness of IT security in your company and implementing the new regulatory requirements.

In addition to our detection and response services, we also offer IT forensics, security architecture consulting, red teaming, and training programs to raise security awareness. These additional services help you develop and implement a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
9What technologies are used for SIEM Security Analysis?
We use advanced technologies such as SIEM systems, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response), and Threat Intelligence platforms to ensure comprehensive and effective security monitoring.
10What specific NIS2 SIEM requirements are there?
NIS2 requires that companies implement advanced SIEM systems (Security Information and Event Management) that meet certain criteria.
11When should you expect NIS2 to come into effect?
NIS2 will become law in all EU countries on October 17, 2024. No transition period is provided.
