Manufacturing organizations face a stark reality: achieve NIS2 compliance within months while managing decades-old machinery running Windows NT and DOS systems that cannot support modern security tools.

Compliance requires more than technical fixes. It demands cross-functional steering groups involving production, HR, sales and management, each understanding their responsibility in a framework as integrated as workplace safety. Organizations must map processes from acquisitions to development, assess risks across supply chains they don't fully control, and train personnel with tailored programs beyond generic email awareness campaigns.

This session, led by Andreas Östrin, group CIO at LSAB Sverige, will cover:

• Establishing cross-functional steering groups with clear responsibilities and regular management reporting;
• Conducting business mapping and risk assessment across production, development, maintenance and supply chain processes;
• Implementing compensating controls - network isolation, offline backups, spare parts planning - when modern security tools aren't viable.
