Ask The Expert: Julie Austin Discusses NIS2 in The Irish Times

Julie Austin, partner in our market-leading Privacy & Data Security team, was recently featured in the Ask The Expert series of The Irish Times.

Julie provides valuable insights on the new National Cyber Security Bill 2024, which is set to reshape how organisations approach digital security. The Bill will give effect to the EU’s NIS2 Directive, which builds on the existing Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive.

Julie highlights the key aspects of the new legislation, including:

• The expanded scope of sectors covered by the NIS2 Directive
• New cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting requirements
• Potential fines for non-compliance

She also highlights the results of our recent survey, which found that four in ten Irish businesses are not ready for the new regime.
