“The European Union has introduced the NIS Directive 2 to strengthen the protection of networks and digital infrastructures, i.e. the set of technologies, applications, data and processes adopted by public and private companies and organizations, generally operators of essential and important services. In a word, making organizations resilient to potential threats of various kinds, present and future, in the context of growing geopolitical uncertainty.
But how can we make the investments needed for compliance sustainable?
A principle that is effectively establishing itself is to link investments to the improvement of internal processes in order to mitigate cybersecurity risk also through a coherent and growing digitalization.
Digitalization, which in the OT world, can mean bringing to light and making visible safety events (in the time and manner required by the legislation), but also vulnerabilities and obsolescence, a very relevant problem in industrial plants” – Mario Testino.
