Navigating NIS2: Accelerating IT/OT Security in Manufacturing

The enforcement of the NIS2 Directive marks a turning point for manufacturers balancing regulatory compliance with increasing connectivity demands. As Industry 5.0 accelerates digital transformation, organizations must address the challenge of maintaining security while enabling operational growth and resilience.

A practical approach to IT and OT security is explored through modernization strategies and integrated frameworks. Topics include replacing siloed systems, adopting cloud-based architectures aligned with compliance requirements, and securing factory-floor assets as a foundational step. The discussion also covers improving visibility across environments and using unified data insights to support risk reduction, auditing, and informed decision-making in line with evolving regulatory expectations.
