Comment
Welcome to the December 2022 issue of yourComputing Security Newsletter.
The UK government has confirmed that the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018 are to be strengthened to protect essential and digital services against cyber-attacks. The changes bring providers of outsourced IT and managed service providers into scope of the NIS Regulations. The NIS Regulations came into forceto improve the cybersecurity of companies providing critical services, such as energy, healthcare, transport and water.
In January 2022, the UK government launched a public consultation on proposals to amend the NIS Regulations, in order to improve the UK’s cyber resilience. The proposals included seven policy measures to address the cybersecurity threats facing UK companies.
The move comes as no surprise – and indeed is highly necessary at a time when threats are not only escalating at an alarming rate, but also showing ever-increasing levels of sophistication.
