As critical national infrastructure (CNI) operators increasingly rely on digitalised services to improve operations and meet the increasing expectations of customers, the attack surface increases and with it, the prospect of potentially life-threatening disruption, regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
As a leading integrator of network and security services to enterprises around the globe, Verizon is uniquely positioned to help industry respond to the growing threats. Our extensive expertise in securing and managing networks and systems, threat monitoring and rapid response helps our customers thwart attacks, and reduce the impact should an attack be successful.
A recent study1 of U.K. CNI organisations found that the vast majority (86%) had detected a cyberattack on their operational technology (OT) or industrial control systems (ICS) in the previous 12 months. And almost all (93%) of those admitted that at least one attack had been successful.
Read about the threats, the actors behind them and what practical steps you can take to help mitigate the risk.
New legislation, COVID disruption and escalating cybersecurity threats have highlighted how vital critical infrastructure is to how we live, work and play.
One example of new legislation, the Directive (EU) 2022/2555, known as NIS2, came into force on 16 January 2023.* It replaced Directive (EU) 2016/1148, updated the minimum cybersecurity standards expected of the operators of essential services and took over the cybersecurity requirements of the telecoms regulatory framework (EECC).
It extends the definition of what organisations count as CNI and introduces tougher reporting requirements.
*EU Member states have until October 2024 to enact NIS2 in national legislation.
