ZIUR holds a workshop with AFM Cluster
ZIUR has held a workshop with AFM Cluster to train industrial companies in cybersecurity and help these organisations to correctly apply the new NIS2 directive. The director of the Foundation, María Penilla, and her colleague Iñaki Torrecilla have reviewed the cybersecurity map of Gipuzkoa and have insisted that a higher level of security is necessary.
In this regard, they have stated that there is still little awareness in the field of cybersecurity, as well as a lack of documentation, so we must be willing to change the work methodology in order to be able to give a correct response to cyber incidents.
A large part of the webinar has been taken up by the new European regulations, especially NIS2. The two ZIUR experts have explained to industrial companies who is affected by this directive, how it should be applied and what benefits it entails. They also recalled that ZIUR has a new tool based on Artificial Intelligence, a Virtual Assistant, to resolve any doubts about this regulation.
Furthermore, Penilla and Torrecilla have detailed the OT vulnerabilities, have discussed the exposure generated by insecure connectivity and have offered data such as that by 2028 the number of attacks in OT, using remote access, will grow to represent 15% of the attack vectors”, according to Gartner. The ICS Mytra audit project on the study of the situation of industrial companies in the Basque Country, according to the IEC 62443 standard, has also been presented.
