eMudhra Urges Strong Authentication for EU Cybersecurity Compliance

eMudhra Limited has issued a press release highlighting the critical role of strong authentication and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in aiding organizations to comply with Europe's new cybersecurity regulations, specifically the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). These regulations impose significantly expanded cybersecurity obligations on entities operating within or serving the European Union, demanding enhanced identity verification, robust supply chain security, stringent risk management, and improved incident reporting mechanisms. The company emphasized that identity-based attacks, including compromised credentials and weak authentication, remain a primary vulnerability for enterprises. eMudhra advocates for cryptographic identity, certificate-based authentication, and comprehensive digital credential lifecycle management as foundational controls for securing enterprise attack surfaces and bolstering zero-trust architectures. Carmine Auletta, Managing Director of eMudhra Europe, stated that strong authentication and verifiable digital identity are evolving from optional controls to core requirements for operational resilience and digital trust, with regulators shifting accountability to executive leadership. eMudhra's trust infrastructure is designed to support these evolving regulatory frameworks with features like certificate lifecycle management, identity assurance, secure device authentication, and post-quantum readiness.
