The expert opinion piece by Frédéric Breussin, founder and CEO of AIoTrust, focusing on the challenges of industrial cyber resilience in light of the NIS2 Directive, can be found on Informatique News.
In this presentation, Frédéric discusses several major developments in cybersecurity for industrial environments:
- why the most dangerous attacks today are those that tamper with data rather than those that abruptly halt production;
- the limitations of traditional monitoring approaches when the data reported by the PLCs is no longer reliable;
- the importance of having an independent source of truth based on raw electrical signals and field data;
- the role of a true “industrial black box” to detect anomalies, accurately classify incidents, and ensure business continuity.
Excerpt:
“With the NIS2 Directive, industrial cybersecurity can no longer rely solely on building digital walls. In the face of attacks capable of distorting the reality of operations, true resilience now lies in organizations’ ability to ensure the integrity of their field data. A return to physical infrastructure is essential for maintaining trust and business continuity.”
For years, industrial cybersecurity has been built around a single obsession: preventing intrusion. But in OT environments, no protection is foolproof. Environments are becoming more connected, digital dependencies are increasing, and the number of attacks targeting industrial systems is growing exponentially.”
