In response to growing cyber threats in Europe, the European Union has introduced new cybersecurity regulations, known as the NIS2 Directive. These changes are intended to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure, including the transport and freight forwarding sector, against cyberattacks. As a transport and freight forwarding company, we are obligated to comply with these regulations to ensure safe and reliable operations.
What is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 (Network and Information Security) Directive was introduced in December 2022 and is an expansion of the previous NIS Directive. The new regulations expand the scope of sectors covered by the obligation to protect against digital threats, including the transport industry, and tighten cybersecurity requirements.
The NIS2 Directive requires companies to:
– Enhance the security of their networks and information systems.
– Regularly analyze risks and update their security strategies.
– Respond quickly to cyber incidents and report them to the relevant authorities within 24 hours.
– Maintaining security standards at the corporate management level, meaning management is responsible for compliance and cyber risk management.
What does this mean for the transportation industry?
Transport is one of the key sectors covered by the NIS2 Directive. Given the industry’s increasing reliance on digital systems – from fleet management and logistics to shipment monitoring – it is essential to strengthen protection against potential threats that could disrupt the supply chain. Cyberattacks can lead to serious consequences, such as delivery delays, data loss, or even the disruption of an entire company.
