The Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive (EU) 2022/2557 represents a significant step forward in strengthening the resilience of essential services across the European Union. Recognizing the growing impact of natural hazards, cyber incidents, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and other emerging threats, the Directive aims to ensure that organizations providing critical services can prevent, withstand, respond to, and recover from disruptive events.
The CER Directive aims to strengthen the resilience across key sectors, including energy, transport, banking and financial market infrastructures, health, drinking water, wastewater, digital infrastructure, public administration, and space. The Directive replaces and modernizes earlier critical infrastructure rules, shifting the focus from asset protection to service continuity and organizational resilience.
