NIS2 in Practice: A European Blueprint for Cybersecurity Assurance in Cloud Operations

How can large-scale cloud environments practically align with Europe's toughest cybersecurity regulation? This session offers a real-world blueprint based on Huawei Cloud’s journey to prepare its Hungary office as the company's first, NIS2 compliant location. We share insights on implementing effective incident reporting frameworks, enforcing software bill of materials (SBOM) practices, and managing vendor risk in line with EU expectations. The talk also highlights key lessons on integrating local regulatory priorities with a global cloud security architecture. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies, tooling ideas, and governance structures to help their organisations meet increasing cybersecurity obligations across borders—while reinforcing trust in cloud infrastructure.
