Key takeaway: ENISA confirms NIS2 progress in critical infrastructures but warns of growing gaps in space and transport sectors.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) documents progress in cybersecurity for critical infrastructures through the NIS2 Directive in its latest report. At the same time, the agency warns of growing digital threats, especially in space and transport.
The ENISA report records measurable improvements in the cybersecurity posture of critical infrastructures based on the NIS2 Directive. The regulation drives investments in security measures and leads to increased awareness among operators of essential services.
However, ENISA identifies two sectors with significantly elevated risk: The space and transport industries are experiencing growing cyber threats with sometimes still insufficient risk preparation. These sectors lag behind other critical infrastructures in their compliance and technical maturity.
For CISOs, this presents both areas for action and opportunities. While NIS2 implementation in mature sectors sets benchmarks, continued focus on underinsured domains remains necessary. Particular attention is also required to bridging compliance gaps to operational effectiveness.
