As digital security becomes more complex, many companies face significant challenges in keeping up with new regulatory requirements. Two major frameworks—the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2)—present organizations with substantial challenges that require a comprehensive approach to compliance and operational resilience.
The Challenge: Navigate the Complexity
The rapidly evolving regulatory landscape in digital security poses significant hurdles for companies. DORA and NIS2, enforce new requirements across a wide range of industries, demanding that organizations strengthen their security strategies while maintaining operational efficiency and resilience.
The main challenge is to help businesses understand, interpret, and successfully implement the complex provisions of these regulations into their existing operational structures.
The Approach: Provide a Platform for Exchange
To address these challenges, USU launched the USU Digital Breakfast, an interactive digital event designed to provide expert guidance on the latest developments in digital security and compliance. The goal of this event was to offer actionable insights and best practices for implementing security measures that align with DORA and NIS2.
In collaboration with KuppingerCole Analysts AG, USU brought together top industry experts, including Bert Kondruß, Director of Development at USU, Charlene Spasic, Senior Advisor at KuppingerCole, and Tobias Hüttner, CEO of Cloud Incubator GmbH and a specialist in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Together, they provided a comprehensive overview of these cybersecurity regulations and directives, while sharing practical advice on how businesses could effectively implement compliant strategies.
The Solution: Empowering Compliance Readiness
During the event, participants gained a deeper understanding of the importance and impact of DORA and NIS2. The experts provided tailored recommendations on how organizations can meet these new regulatory requirements while minimizing disruptions to their operations.
A key feature of the event was its interactive format, where participants could engage directly with the experts through live Q&A sessions. This allowed for real-time discussions of specific concerns, providing valuable, context-specific solutions for companies navigating the new regulations.
The Results: Delivering Insights and Benefit from Practical Advice
