UDS Enterprise ensures compliance with DORA and NIS2 regulations

In a context where cybersecurity and data protection have become fundamental pillars for the functioning of companies, Virtual Cable implements advanced security measures in its digital workplace solutions, designed to ensure both the integrity of corporate data and secure connections for employees and collaborators. These features not only protect against growing digital threats but also ensure that organizations comply with the latest European regulations on cybersecurity and technological risk management, such as DORA and NIS2.

Compliance with NIS2 regulation

The advent of these regulations introduces new challenges in digital security. The NIS2 (Network and Information Systems Directive) regulation extends the scope of the original NIS directive, which focused on strengthening cybersecurity for essential services and strategic sectors across Europe. The NIS2 directive will come into effect on October 17 of this year and affects a wide range of industries, from energy to telecommunications. It requires that each department head—marketing, technology, BDM, HR, etc.—take direct responsibility for the data security managed by their team. The UDS Enterprise solution family ensures strict access controls to workstations by applying a “zero trust” philosophy, ensuring that only authorized personnel access sensitive information. Additionally, role-specific access management facilitates personnel turnover without compromising security.

Compliance with DORA

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is one of the most recent regulations enacted by the European Union and focuses on ensuring that financial entities can withstand and recover from any technology or information systems-related incidents. By January 17, 2025, all organizations in the financial sector must comply with the requirements set out in this regulation. Virtual Cable’s digital workplace solutions enhance operational resilience, ensuring that companies can quickly recover from any threat. UDS Enterprise offers the ability to deploy non-persistent virtual desktops, which erase data and settings at the end of each session, keeping systems and desktops clean and secure.

Protection of critical data and secure connections with Virtual Cable

Virtual Cable, aware of the need for organizations to quickly adapt to this new regulatory framework, has implemented mechanisms in its workplace virtualization platform, UDS Enterprise, that not only reinforce data security but also help organizations comply with these regulations:

• Protection of critical data: Virtual Cable’s desktop virtualization, virtualized applications, and remote access solutions are designed to keep corporate data off local devices, securely storing it on remote servers. This ensures that, in the event of device loss or theft, sensitive information remains inaccessible, meeting the security and privacy requirements of DORA and NIS2.
• Secure connections: The company’s digital workplace solutions integrate advanced end-to-end encryption protocols and multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring that both employees and collaborators connect to the organization’s systems securely. These measures are essential to prevent unauthorized access, a key requirement of both regulations.
• Centralized management and auditing: UDS Enterprise enables centralized management of all connections and workstations, facilitating auditing and tracking of access to business systems. This is crucial for meeting the oversight and incident reporting standards required by both DORA and NIS2.
• Resilience against cyberattacks: Virtual Cable’s solution provides high availability and disaster recovery, ensuring that critical services can continue operating even in the face of cyberattacks or technological disruptions. This feature reinforces operational resilience, one of the pillars of the DORA regulation.

Compliance with DORA and NIS2 is not only a regulatory obligation but a necessity in an increasingly vulnerable environment to digital threats. With UDS Enterprise, a solution that combines desktop virtualization, virtualized applications, and remote access to physical devices, Virtual Cable provides organizations with a robust tool that ensures both data protection and regulatory compliance while offering employees and collaborators secure and efficient 24/7 access from any location and device.
