Security solutions for critical infrastructures
Protect your critical infrastructure
Operators of critical infrastructure make a hugely important contribution to the security of supply in Germany. Accordingly, it is all the more important that their systems, areas and buildings, as well as their employees, are protected by state-of-the-art security solutions against attacks and sabotage.
Interflex solutions for access control support implementing legal requirements and obligations imposed by supervisory authorities across industries.
The goal: a high level of physical and digital security.
Industries and sectors with critical infrastructure
Operators of infrastructures count among CRITIS companies. Since 2021, 10 industries or sectors are included in this category. It is their task to guarantee the security of supply of important services in Germany.
The reliable physical protection of facilities and sensitive company areas is therefore crucial. They are obligated by law to guarantee the reliable operation of their facilities and to regularly give account about their security concept to supervisory authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
The implementation of the EU Directive NIS2 and the CRITIS Umbrella Act (EU RCE Directive)fundamentally changes the sectors and operator logic in Germany as of 10/2024. In addition to the previous operators of critical facilities (CRITIS), medium-sized companies and large corporations are now included.
Security is not an option: This is what is important for CRITIS companies
Cyber criminals are increasingly focusing on critical infrastructure companies, which become victims of sabotage and digital espionage. It is high time to review and renew their security concept. Because resulting from the current legal regulations, such as the German Security Act 2.0, many operators of facilities now also count among the critical infrastructures.
They are requested to implement the high security standards. This also includes concepts for access control. On the other hand, more than a few affected companies still rely on partly outdated systems. Unpatched software and vulnerabilities additionally increase the risk. This doesn’t have to be that way.
Protect yourself with the integrated solutions from Interflex for access control that will prepare you optimally for these current challenges and requirements.
Digital as well as physical attacks to critical facilities, but also unintentional malfunctions result in failures. These deeply damage the trust in the security of supply.
The most important tasks of security officers therefore include:
In the long term, it is vital to protect company values and maintain the integrity of the company grounds and secure the fail-safety of the infrastructure.
Guiding principles of CRITIS: High security requirements
Operators of critical infrastructures are requested to regularly check the security of their infrastructures, furnish evidence of security standards and keep measures taken up to date. The guiding principles with extensive obligations and requirements have been defined by legal regulations for years. The implementation of EU Directives NIS2 and RCE/CER into national laws will change the CRITIS regulation in the coming years.
CRITIS is regulated by the following laws:
