NIS2 is Coming to OT Are you Ready?

The Network and Information Systems Directive-2 (NIS2) is the latest legislation that provides guidance and legal measures to boost cybersecurity and resilience within organizations of the European Union. The new Directive expands the scope of its predecessor (NISD) to include EU-based organizations involved in a wide assortment of critical products and services, as well as others doing business in the EU. Compliance requirements have been fortified and penalties for non- compliance have been made much more severe.

With NIS2 going into effect in October 2024, OT organizations have less than a year to get their cybersecurity house in order, obtaining top management buy-in, allocating budgets and resources, instituting processes and programs, and acquiring mandated cyber solutions and services. There isn’t a moment to waste.

Impacted OT organizations need to start getting ready NOW!

Compliance with NIS2’s rigorous requirements on Cybersecurity and Risk Management, and stringent Incident Reporting Obligations require a significant investment. The alternative can lead to:

•  Non-monetary remedies (compliance orders, binding instructions, security audit implementation orders, and threat notification orders to customers)
• Significant administrative fines in the millions of euros
•  Criminal sanctions (making compliance violations public. making public statements that identify the natural and legal persons responsible for a violation. and banning individuals from holding management positions)

Non-compliance is not an option!
