Europe's Cybersecurity Standards Give Local Providers Competitive Edge

European cybersecurity providers are gaining a competitive edge thanks to robust security standards and norms. While regulations like the CRA and RED set the legal stage, it's these security standards that make practical application possible.

In our increasingly interconnected world, safeguarding against cyber attacks and system failures is paramount. This is where security standards and norms step in as the central tool for implementing regulatory requirements.

Key European norms and guidelines include the EU Cybersecurity Act, the NIS-2 Directive, and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). These initiatives, driven by the European Commission and supported by EU agencies like ENISA, create a harmonized framework for cybersecurity certification, risk management, and IT security requirements. They cover a broad range, from ICT products and services to critical and key sectors, and even the financial industry.

By fostering uniform requirements and reducing double burdens, these security standards and norms strengthen European providers' competitiveness in cybersecurity. They facilitate market access and ensure a robust defense against evolving cyber threats.
