Presentation
Cyber Resilience in Automation: Upcoming EU Regulations and what Manufacturers and Operators should do now!

Current surveys show: The threat situation in cyberspace is more serious than ever. The EU is responding with new regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS-2 to make IT Security and Cyber Resilience an industry standard. The two regulations have far-reaching consequences for manufacturers as well as operators of automation solutions, and time is running out: Fulfillment is due by the end of 2027 and in some areas as early as September 2026.

The talk provides an overview of the upcoming key requirements for manufacturers and operators of automation solutions and offers practical tips on how to start preparing for them.
