NIS2 introduces a new level of accountability for CISOs, board members and executives in Europe. They are responsible for ensuring, approving and learning about the cybersecurity practices of their entities. NIS2 also imposes obligations and personal liability for the "management bodies" of the entities, which means they can face legal consequences for violating NIS2.
Therefore, CISOs, board members and executives should review their D&O liability insurance coverage to protect themselves from potential claims.
The US is ahead of the curve in cybersecurity, but CISOs face many challenges to safeguard their organizations from legal threats. Many CISOs are switching jobs frequently, citing personal legal protection as a reason.
