🚨 NIS2 is Here! Are You Ready? 🚨 Today marks the official enforcement of the NIS2 Directive—ushering in new cybersecurity requirements - and more - across the EU for companies selling into the EU. IT Service Providers and Channel Partners, this is your chance to get ahead and consult your clients on at least the cybersecurity regulations — more if you want to make sure your customers are not talking to someone else (your competitor?) about the other parts of the Directive that they need to comply with and will most likely need help with. Better you than your competitor or a big Consulting Firm. Wondering where to start? Reach out to us if you need help to align your Services to these new standards and unlock your growth potential. Are you prepared? Have you already started this with your customers? #NIS2

15.000! Well, today is the day. Microsoft channel partners... If you haven't taken the opportunity to help your customers yet. Today is the day. And the same opportunity is there for all other Microsoft channel partners. Why? The NIS2 Directive deadline is - tomorrow! 17 October 2024. By that date, the requirements of NIS2 must be implemented into law by each EU member state. I know, Germany has been given/taken an extension until March - and good thing too. This is a great opportunity to help customers selling into the EU to be compliant. Here is the news.... The Computer Emergency Response Team for Federal Agencies (CERT-Bund) has issued a warning about several vulnerabilities on over 15,000 Exchange servers that have been publicly available for months. Administrators should update their servers as soon as possible. (Link below) So, let's make the EU a safer place to conduct online business. Let's not let the cyber criminals win. Let's make customers NIS2 compliant and fix these vulnerabilities. And there is a lot more IT, Process, Governance and Legal consultancy to do around NIS2 and cyber security. If you package your Offer right, channel partners, you can fix this and.... ...discuss it thoroughly with your customer CEOs ...make sure a competitor is not having this discussion with your customers, and ...create a more profitable recurring revenue stream for yourself If you haven't identified your opportunity, or, you do not have your offer yet, or, you want /need to do this but do not know how... Call us. We can help.

As of October 17th, the NIS2 Directive will be officially in place, bringing a new level of cybersecurity regulations across the EU. Are you aware that there are many other elements of the compliancy you can consult your clients on? Have you put the right offer in place to address this? NIS2 is no longer on the horizon—it’s here. Ensure you and your clients are prepared.   Reach out to us if you need guidance!

🚨 Attention Channel Partners! 🚨 Have you already read NIS2 Readiness Report from IDC, released at the end of July? It couldn’t have come at a better time with the October 2024 compliance deadline fast approaching. Here are some insights from the report:    1️⃣ In Austria, 97% are considering GenAI to automate and improve the efficiency of security operations while 36% rely on their organization’s security provider for information and guidance on NIS2.     2️⃣ In Belgium, 82% are considering GenAI to automate and improve security efficiency, 68% do not currently have or are only planning to develop a strategy to secure sensitive data when using GenAI for cryptography and encryption while 41% rely on their organization’s security technology providers for information and guidance on NIS2.     3️⃣ In Ireland, 87% are considering GenAI to automate and improve security efficiency, 63% do not currently have or are only planning to develop a strategy to secure sensitive data and 20% rely on their organization’s security technology provider for information and guidance about NIS2.    💡 The opportunity is clear: Most companies don’t see their security provider as a trusted advisor on NIS2. This leaves the door open for others to step in. Use this chance to have those AI and cybersecurity conversations - get in front of your CEOs too! Don’t miss out! 👉 Need the report or help building your package? Reach out to our team—we’re here to support you.
