The latest report of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) aims to support policy makers in assessing the impact of the current EU cybersecurity framework, and particularly the NIS 2 Directive, on cybersecurity investments and the overall maturity of organisations in scope.

In this article, we’ll cover some common use cases and misconceptions of how people misuse
