Cyber security in the chemical industry
As part of the critical infrastructure (KRITIS) and in the context of the new NIS2 directive, the chemical industry is a particular focus of cyber attacks. The challenges for companies in this sector are manifold.
Three central problems that chemical companies frequently encounter are
Risk of attack due to outdated OT systems (operational technology)
Production facilities in the chemical industry are often based on older technologies that are difficult to integrate with modern cyber security measures. These systems rarely have regular security updates and offer a large attack surface.
Compliance with NIS2 and other regulatory requirements
The chemical industry must meet increasingly comprehensive requirements, including the NIS2 DirectiveISO 27001, and industry-specific security standards. Implementation requires a clear structure and effective management, which poses major challenges for many companies.
Protection against insider threats
Whether through human error or deliberate misconduct, insider threats are a risk factor that should not be underestimated. Without targeted training and clear security guidelines, security gaps and data loss can occur.
