Specops Software guides organizations on NIS2 password and MFA compliance

The NIS2 Directive now mandates stronger identity and access controls, making weak passwords and poor authentication a significant compliance risk for many organizations. Organizations in 18 critical sectors with 50+ employees or over €10 million in revenue must comply with NIS2, facing substantial fines for non-compliance. NIS2 emphasizes password length over complexity and recommends against mandatory password rotation, instead focusing on breach monitoring and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication.
