EU Cybersecurity Package 2026: Cybersecurity Act 2 and targeted NIS2 amendments

On 20 January 2026, the European Commission unveiled a new ‘Cybersecurity Package’ comprising a draft Regulation, styled ‘Cybersecurity Act 2’ or the ‘Revised EU Cybersecurity Act’, set to replace Regulation (EU) 2019/881, the current EU Cybersecurity Act (CSA), together with a draft Directive to amend Directive (EU) 2022/2555, the EU NIS 2 Directive (NIS 2).
