France and Germany have completed preparations for the European Union ’ s updated Network and Information Security Directive ( NIS2 ), despite just one year to go until its legislative deadline , according to new research from SailPoint , a leader in enterprise identity security .
With fines for non-compliance costing up to € 10 million , or 2 % of an organisation ’ s global annual revenue , taking the necessary steps to become compliant must be top of the agenda for businesses . milestones , respondents anticipate each will take five months on average to complete .
The NIS2 directive comes at a time when organisations of all sizes face a growing number of cyberthreats and aims to deliver a broad , comprehensive and holistic improvement of cybersecurity across the EU .
The research , which surveyed 1,500 IT decision-makers , found there is still a lot of preparation for organisations to complete , despite the clock ticking . For UK organisations , which must still comply with the directive if they operate in the EU , 80 % still need to properly secure their supply chains , while 76 % must assess the efficiency of existing cyber measures .
Three-quarters of organisations also need to add new risk management measures ( 74 %), implement HR security ( 76 %) as well as provide cybersecurity training to staff ( 72 %). Businesses can ’ t afford to be complacent – of these five
Tenable and Siemens Energy expand collaboration in OT cybersecurity
T enable has expanded its partnership with Siemens Energy to further secure Operational Technology ( OT ) environments in the energy sector .
Siemens Energy will integrate Tenable OT Security into its Omnivise T3000 control system as a network intrusion detection system ( NIDS ), in addition to already leveraging Tenable OT Security for asset discovery and vulnerability management .
Siemens Energy ’ s decision to bring Tenable into this flagship offering joins existing collaboration on their recently rebranded cybersecurity service offering , Omnivise OT Security , powered by Tenable .
“ Siemens Energy brings deep OT knowledge to cybersecurity challenges and has become a leader in securing energy work sites ,” said Marty Edwards , Deputy CTO for OT / IoT , Tenable .
“ We are particularly honoured that Siemens Energy has chosen Tenable OT Security as the right solution set not only for its expanded service offerings but to integrate into its industry-leading control systems .”
Leo Simonovich , Vice President and Global Head of Industrial Cyber and Digital Security , Siemens Energy , said : “ Tenable OT Security provides much-needed visibility into the cyber health of OT systems that sit at the heart of energy businesses . These capabilities strengthen our Omnivise T3000 cybersecurity and enable easier compliance with regulations that increasingly emphasise monitoring and detection .”
The integration of Tenable OT Security is expected to come in the next Omnivise T3000 service pack update for Release 9.2 .
Siemens Energy technicians are already helping Omnivise OT Security customers understand Tenable ’ s full capabilities and how to apply those capabilities to enhance cybersecurity across their worksites .
