[Advertorial] In the face of increasing cyber threats, the EU has strengthened cyber legislation to protect critical and important infrastructure and sensitive data with the NIS2 Directive, the successor to NIS1. And time is of the essence, because NIS2 will come into force in October. NIS2 no longer just applies to the organization itself, but also extends to its digital service providers and the supply chain. It therefore also applies to physical security, such as perimeter security, building access control, visitor registration and natural disaster management.

In many cases, cybersecurity and physical security are already more closely linked than ever before to ensure organizational security and global security. In many cases, to comply with NIS2, IT and physical security specialists must work even more closely together. As physical security systems include and integrate more and more technical components (smart cameras, electronic locks, sensors of all kinds, etc.), they are also increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks and can represent a vulnerability if security is not up to date.

These risks can be mitigated by implementing cybersecurity best practices that also strengthen the infrastructure of physical security solutions at all levels. With the right solutions, your team can be lightened and a modern layered software security model can help you be NIS2 compliant and limit risk.
