Preventive security is of great importance, especially with regard to the NIS2 directive and protection against cyber attacks.
The NIS2 directive was developed to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures and create uniform standards for reporting and managing cyber attacks. Companies must now take appropriate technical and organisational measures to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and minimise their impact.
Preventive security includes proactive measures to prevent cyber attacks before they can cause damage. This includes identifying, analysing, assessing and addressing cyber risks. Companies need to recognise the vulnerabilities of their systems, understand the activities of attackers, consider industry trends and meet regulatory requirements. Given the increasing frequency, sophistication and destructive power of cyber attacks, a paradigm shift towards prevention is essential.
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) products play an important role here. These software products enable companies to monitor, analyse and improve their security situation. SIEM products collect data from various sources and enable real-time or historical detection, investigation and remediation of anomalies, vulnerabilities, attacks and incidents. They improve visibility of the security posture, enable early detection of attacks, facilitate response and response to cyber-attacks and support compliance with security standards and regulations.
With regard to the NIS2 directive, SIEM products can help companies fulfil the requirements and reduce their cyber risks. They provide a centralised and consolidated view of relevant security data, improve visibility of the security situation, enable early detection of anomalies and attacks, facilitate the response to and combating of cyber attacks and offer audit and reporting functions for documenting security measures.
Overall, preventive security measures and SIEM products are crucial to protect organisations from cyberattacks, strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures and meet the requirements of the NIS2 directive. By using preventive security measures and SIEM products, organisations can improve their security performance and increase stakeholder confidence.
