Navigating New Cybersecurity Regulations: Insights from Secure State Cyber AB
This year, a new cybersecurity law is set to take effect in Sweden, aimed at aligning with the EU's NIS2 directive. Alongside this, sectors like finance will witness the introduction of specific regulations such as DORA, which demand an elevated standard of cybersecurity. This evolving landscape emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to managing cybersecurity protocols within organizations.
"To manage risks effectively and implement security measures, companies need to adopt a proactive stance," says Jan Karlsson, a senior cybersecurity specialist at Secure State Cyber. He underscores the importance of addressing these issues head-on to mitigate potential threats.
Choosing the right cybersecurity partner becomes paramount in this context. Companies must not only work collaboratively on internal cybersecurity protocols but also extend their scrutiny to suppliers. Ulrika Nilsson, CEO of Secure State Cyber AB, emphasizes that management should actively identify risks and take steps to minimize them. By adopting established frameworks, organizations can assess their current security measures and ensure they are effective.
"It's essential to seek external assistance for these complex issues. When choosing a cybersecurity partner, companies should check for a certified management system for information security, such as ISO 27001," Nilsson advises. Additionally, evaluating the experience and competencies of the cybersecurity specialists involved is crucial to bolster an organization’s defenses.
From a strategic standpoint, Ulrika Nilsson highlights that cybersecurity has evolved into a critical issue for management and boards. Public organizations and authorities are called upon to stay ahead of new regulations and adapt to an ever-changing threat landscape. By fostering increased awareness and implementing proactive measures, companies can contribute to a more resilient business environment and society at large.
