What is NIS?
NIS stands for Network Information Service and provides distributed service to simplify administration work in a networked computing environment. It plays a vital role in the economy and wider society and aims to address the threats posed to network and information systems from a range of areas, most notably cyber-attackers, therefore improving the functioning of the digital economy.

NIS ensures the security of critical network and information systems in order to keep businesses, citizens and public services protected.
