    Strengthen Your Cybersecurity: End-to-End Protection with Landis+Gyr Security Solutions

    The power grid is becoming increasingly complex due to the integration of municipal utilities, renewable energy resources, new substations and millions of smart grid edges like smart meters and EV-charging stations. The majority of this electric infrastructure is located far away from the central control room. Therefore, control is increasingly carried out digitally via remote access. To secure these peripheral systems, distribution and transmission system operators often rely exclusively on firewalls. These might reliably detect known malware. However, with several hundred of thousands of new malware variants each day, cybersecurity limited to identifying known signatures becomes highly unreliable.

    Three steps for electric utilities to get ahead of NIS2 in 60 days

    Hands down, by now there are probably a trillion articles offering advice on how to “get ready for NIS2” (just do a search in your search engine of choice). Some contain sensible tips, most simply re-list the requirements of the updated Network and Information Security directive and leave the reader in limbo. 

    Still, even just 1.5 months away from the EU's NIS2 directive turning into national law, many customers in the electrical sector we speak to have difficulties getting their heads around the full impact of NIS2. In particular, the extension of thorough cybersecurity to the OT networks of their grid infrastructure causes headaches. For many electric and multi-utilities this is still new territory with many blind spots and unknown challenges.
