In the era of unprecedented digitization, where technology deeply penetrates into our society and organizations, software has become the driving force behind progress. No matter which industry, almost every organization is increasingly dependent on software applications. The goal? Optimizing business processes, providing seamless user experiences, and creating new opportunities. The crucial detail of this revolution: high-quality software is essential for the success and resilience of businesses and organizations.

However, this is the part where we encounter an interesting paradox: digitization is not only an enormous opportunity, also a threat. Cyber threats are evolving at an alarming rate. Attackers constantly seek vulnerabilities to infiltrate systems and steal sensitive data. Ensuring the security of software is no longer a choice, but an absolute necessity.

NIS2 is on the horizon, but what should you or your organization do? Which measures need to be taken? Unfortunately the exact guidelines are not known and leave us in a state of uncertainty. The Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security is working on translating NIS2 into the Cybersecurity Act, which will replace the current Network and Information Systems Security Act (Wbni). The new law was initially scheduled end of 2024 and required all companies and organizations to take steps to comply. The start date has been postponed to early 2025.
