Amid all the recent buzz about NIS2 over the past weeks (or even months), one could easily overlook that a new version of the ISO 27019 standard has just been released. This standard is not only highly relevant for information security certifications.

Without network access control (NAC), anyone can plug into the Ethernet switches of critical control networks in substations, power plants, or control centers and send commands to the devices.

Today, October 17, 2024, is the deadline for EU Member States to transpose the NIS2 Directive (2022/2555) into national law. It was adopted in December 2022 and requires that national laws on cybersecurity be published by today and enter into force.
