Strengthening European Cybersecurity: Stormshield as a Trusted Solution

In an era where cyber threats are increasing and becoming more sophisticated, collaboration and knowledge-sharing among cybersecurity experts are essential to protecting critical infrastructures. Stormshield, a leading European provider of security solutions, contributes to this mission through a strategic partnership with Kappa Data to strengthen cybersecurity in Europe, as outlined in this blog.

Stormshield and the NIS 2 Directive: A Collective Response to Cyber Threats

The NIS 2 Directive (Network and Information Security 2 Directive) aims to enhance the resilience of IT systems across the European Union. By partnering with Kappa Data, Stormshield provides expertise and solutions to help businesses comply with this directive, which imposes stricter security requirements and promotes closer cooperation between member states.

This collaboration plays a crucial role in the future of European cybersecurity, as it pools resources and knowledge to combat cyberattacks more effectively. Stormshield’s solutions, known for their robustness and reliability, offer advanced protection against threats while facilitating compliance with NIS 2 regulations.

Insights from ANSSI: A Roadmap for Security

ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information) recently published a report titled Vulnerabilities in Security Equipment: Lessons from CERT-FR, providing valuable insights gained from various cyberattacks. This report highlights the importance of anticipation, rapid detection, and effective incident response.

Key recommendations from ANSSI include:

• The use of secure solutions certified under the Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau (CSPN) or Common Criteria, such as Stormshield.
• The importance of regular updates: unpatched vulnerabilities remain a major entry point for cyberattacks.
• The necessity of continuous monitoring: early detection of anomalies helps minimize damage.

Integrating Best Practices

Stormshield integrates these insights into its solutions and services, emphasizing a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Its intrusion detection and prevention systems (IPS/IDS), for example, are designed to identify and neutralize threats in real time, significantly reducing the risk of compromise.

Additionally, Stormshield, in collaboration with Kappa Data, offers training and awareness programs to help businesses strengthen their security posture. By combining ANSSI’s recommendations with its own innovations, Stormshield contributes to a safer digital environment for businesses and public institutions.

Conclusion

The partnership between Stormshield and Kappa Data, aligned with the NIS 2 Directive and ANSSI’s insights, forms a powerful synergy to enhance cybersecurity in Europe. By joining forces, these cybersecurity experts provide comprehensive and robust solutions to protect critical infrastructures from increasingly sophisticated threats. Implementing best practices and fostering international cooperation remain essential pillars for ensuring a secure digital future.
