NIS 2 DIRECTIVE
NIS2 is a European legal framework that emphasizes enhancing cybersecurity in organizations. For EU member states, it entails a commitment to adopt laws that obligate companies to protect their information and infrastructure from cyber threats. This includes implementing security measures, monitoring incidents, and cooperating with cybersecurity authorities. NIS2 is essential for maintaining digital security, making it crucial for companies to comply with its requirements.
Whether your organization falls under the NIS2 system depends on two factors. If both of these factors apply to your organization, you can assume that NIS2 regulations are relevant to you. Your organization must belong to an Essential or Important sector as defined by the NIS2 directive.
Your organization has more than 50 employees or an annual turnover of 10 million euros. The NIS2 directive does not apply to smaller organizations, with a few exceptions. For example, domain name registration service providers are classified as highly critical and fall under NIS2 regardless of their size.
Your company operates in sectors identified by NIS2 as essential to society. These include both Essential and Important entities. The same rules apply to both categories. The main difference between the categories lies in how regulatory authorities oversee the organization and the penalties that can be expected for non-compliance. A list of these sectors can be found on the image above..
The NIS2 Directive has 46 articles. Articles 20-24 contain information on specific cybersecurity measures that companies are required to take.
Article 23 – You are required to report cyber incidents.
Iron OT is the ideal partner to ensure compliance with the NIS2 directive, thanks to our deep expertise in cybersecurity and years of experience in implementing security measures in line with the strictest standards, such as IEC 62443.

Hacktivists attack U.S. water treatment plant

After gaining initial access to this system, it remains unclear how the attackers interacted with it to deface the HMI.
Also unclear is what else they may have done, such as changing PLC settings or process variables.
