DEAR READERS, How secure will our energy systems be in the future? How can we ensure the reliability of machines powering our industries? And what role does cybersecurity play in safeguarding critical infrastructure? These are just some of the vital questions the latest issue of OMICRON Magazine addresses. As digitalization and connectivity continue to shape our world, our challenges are becoming more complex. We want to help you navigate this evolving landscape by sharing cutting-edge insights, solutions, and expert knowledge. Our cover story and lead article focus on NIS2, the European directive redefining cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure. With deadlines approaching and requirements becoming stricter, understanding the impact of these regulations is essential for all businesses operating in the energy sector. Our in-depth analysis explores what NIS2 means for companies, how it compares to international cybersecurity strategies, and the steps required for organizations to stay ahead of potential threats. However, cybersecurity isn’t just about policies and regulations – it’s about practical solutions. The CMC 500 is the world’s first protection relay test set to deliver cybersecurity by design. As cyberattacks on critical infrastructure become more sophisticated, integrating cybersecurity directly into testing equipment is no longer optional – it’s essential. Learn how this innovative approach sets new security benchmarks for protection testing and helps close previously overlooked attack vectors.
