Successful NIS2 implementation in the development and production of complex electronic components
Digital security is becoming increasingly important – and with the new NIS2 directive, the EU is significantly tightening requirements for companies. Many organizations now need to take proactive steps to meet the new regulations. As a full-service provider for the development and production of complex electronic components, we at Kontron Austria are already well prepared and demonstrate how we are successfully implementing NIS2.
What is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security 2) is an EU-wide regulation that intensifies cybersecurity requirements for companies in critical and essential sectors. It is an advancement of the original NIS directive and introduces stricter security measures as well as higher penalties for violations. The goal is to improve companies’ resilience against cyber threats and strengthen the European IT security landscape.
A key point: Executives and responsible managers are personally liable for implementing cybersecurity measures. Furthermore, the directive affects not only primary companies but also their suppliers and partners throughout the entire supply chain.
Kontron Austria: NIS2-ready!
We began implementing the NIS2 requirements at an early stage and consistently adhere to the highest security standards:
Implementation of Veeam ONE: A monitoring and analysis solution for IT infrastructures to ensure maximum availability and security.
Expansion of cybersecurity training: Our employees receive regular training to detect threats early and respond appropriately.
Creation of emergency plans: We have established comprehensive processes for reporting and managing security incidents.
In addition, we are actively advancing the introduction of a risk management system to continuously review and optimize our security measures. Another focus is strengthening supply chain security, ensuring that our partners and suppliers are integrated into a holistic security strategy.
What Does This Mean for Our Customers?
Thanks to our early measures, our customers benefit from a highly secure IT and OT infrastructure. Compliance with legal requirements minimizes regulatory risks and protects against potential penalties. Moreover, our customers can rely on Kontron Austria as a trustworthy partner that prioritizes cybersecurity at the highest level.
Conclusion: Proactive, Not Reactive
The NIS2 directive is not some distant prospect – companies must act now. At Kontron Austria, we have already taken the key steps to offer our customers maximum security in an increasingly regulated IT world. Because cybersecurity is not just a legal obligation – it is a central part of our corporate strategy.
