This directive forces the EU\u2019s member states to publish national cybersecurity strategies and boost the protection of critical infrastructure in sectors ranging from energy and transport to search and cloud. <\/p>\n<p>Member nations were all supposed to have national legislation implementing the directive in place by mid-October 2024. Very few did, though most got their laws in order by January of this year, when the commission told ISMG that just seven of the bloc\u2019s member states had failed to notify any measures for transposing the directive (see: European States Spin Wheels on Cybersecurity Directive).<\/p>\n<p>Of those seven, Bulgaria, Sweden and Luxembourg all introduced the necessary laws in the first half of this year. That leaves the four that the commission just referred up to the Court of Justice,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/european-patience-cybersecurity-laggards-snaps-a-32190\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Patience With Cybersecurity Laggards Snaps https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/european-patience-cybersecurity-laggards-snaps-a-32190 Publish Date: 2026-07-09 16:53:00 Source Domain: www.bankinfosecurity.com Geo-Specific&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":287769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/ismg-cdn.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/articles\/european-patience-cybersecurity-laggards-snaps-image_large-5-a-32190.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-287768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287768"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287768"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":287770,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287768\/revisions\/287770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
