The launch of SecureHorizons targets a wide range of sectors affected by the NIS2 directive, from energy and transport to health and financial markets. Industries that are increasingly reliant on the resilience and security of their digital operations will find Atos’s application particularly beneficial. By fostering an environment of compliance through streamlined processes, Atos is not only assisting these sectors in meeting regulatory demands but also enhancing their overall cybersecurity posture.
