Once the risks and challenges are identified, especially those around sensitive data, it is important to
control access and comply with security policies, especially on restricted and confidential networks.

This has made NDR a core of successful strategies, integrated with a comprehensive cybersecurity
ecosystem. The goal here is proactive research; easy, rapid qualification and remediation of incidents by
experts.

Compliance, an ongoing journey

Today, compliance must be a strategic opportunity for companies, not an additional constraint or tick box
exercise to merely meet new regulatory standards.

We need to take a long-term view. Achieving compliance is not only reactive, enabling a business to
establish a comprehensive, up-to-date response to compliance needs, but also to anticipate future
regulatory developments.

Beyond compliance, NDR enables organisations to raise overall levels of cybersecurity and optimise
investments for the most effective detection of and response to threats. Building a cybersecurity strategy
with NDR as a cornerstone means choosing a long-term cyber path, with anticipation as the keystone.
For cyber-attackers and defenders alike, time is of the essence. The aim is to be able to respond
effectively to potential future threats, thanks to an adapted and responsive defence system.

Think of NIS 2 as a guide to identifying and prioritizing the risks and areas of weakness, as well as
cybersecurity strengths, to draw up a dynamic strategy to combat attacks. When approached
strategically, compliance transforms from a necessity into a real opportunity and competitive advantage.
