The scope of NIS2 has been expanded to cover more entities and sectors, effectively obliging them to take measures that will increase the level of cybersecurity in Europe in the longer term. NIS2 extends the scope of NIS by adding new sectors, such as telecom, social media platforms, and public administration (i.e., entities of central and provincial governments). Entities falling within NIS2’s scope will be classified into two categories: operators of essential services and important entities.
