eMudhra issued a press release emphasizing the crucial role of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and strong authentication as European cybersecurity regulations, specifically NIS2 and DORA, expand enterprise obligations. The company notes that identity-based attacks remain a leading vulnerability. eMudhra advocates for cryptographic identity and certificate-based controls to meet new mandates requiring stronger identity verification and operational resilience across distributed digital environments.
eMudhra Addresses New EU Cybersecurity Requirements
On March 5, 2026, eMudhra issued a press release highlighting the urgent necessity for organizations to adopt strong authentication and leverage Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This is in response to Europe’s recently expanded cybersecurity regulations, notably the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
These new mandates significantly increase obligations for organizations operating within or serving the European Union. Requirements now mandate stronger identity verification, enhanced supply chain security, and stringent risk management protocols. Executive leadership faces increased accountability for ensuring operational resilience and mitigating cyber risk exposure.
The Foundation of Digital Trust
eMudhra pointed out that identity-based attacks continue to be one of the largest enterprise vulnerabilities, driven primarily by compromised credentials and weak authentication. The company stressed that cryptographic identity, certificate-based authentication, and robust lifecycle management of digital credentials form the foundational control layer for securing modern enterprise attack surfaces.
PKI-based authentication is critical for establishing trusted identities for all entities—users, devices, applications, and automated systems—ensuring only authorized access to vital infrastructure. This methodology strengthens zero trust architectures and improves visibility across complex, distributed digital environments.
“Strong authentication and verifiable digital identity are no longer optional controls. They are becoming a core requirement for operational resilience and digital trust,” stated Carmine Auletta, Managing Director, eMudhra Europe.
eMudhra’s Preparedness and Global Reach
eMudhra’s trust infrastructure is designed to support evolving regulatory frameworks globally, offering certificate lifecycle management, identity assurance, secure device authentication, and post-quantum readiness.
eMudhra operates as a global provider of digital identity, authentication, and trust services. Leveraging its strong foundation in PKI, the company enables secure digital transformation for enterprises and governments across more than 35+ countries, powering secure transactions and digital public infrastructure at population scale.
