Problem
Regulation and downtime cost drive this at the same time.
Two independent reasons to act now.
160,000+ companies in the EU fall under NIS2, roughly 29,500 of them
in Germany.
On top of that come the CRA, the EU Machinery Regulation and the AI Act, which apply from 2027. All of them demand the same thing: demonstrable transparency and demonstrable effectiveness.
€100,000 to €1m In industrial OT an hour of downtime costs €100,000 to €1m.
€178bn cyber damage in Germany in 2024.
The obligation comes from the legislator, the pressure from the balance sheet. Both point the same way.
