Why Critical Infrastructures Depend on Cybersecurity

The threat situation for operators of critical infrastructures (KRITIS) has worsened significantly in recent years. It is worrying that three out of four cyberattacks specifically target KRITIS organizations. In the first quarter of 2024, a total of 181 security incidents were reported to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). On average, one in six KRITIS organizations was affected by a cyber incident. These figures underline the urgent need to continuously optimize IT security measures and adapt them to new threat scenarios.

 

For critical infrastructure operators, effective IT security is not only a protective shield, but also a decisive factor for their operational resilience. By implementing comprehensive IT security concepts, critical processes can be maintained and potential outages minimized. This contributes significantly to the stability of the infrastructure and ultimately ensures the reliable supply of vital services to the population.

Regulatory

Compliance Requirement: Cybersecurity at the Highest Level

The compliance requirements for digital systems and processes for operators of critical infrastructures are particularly extensive. A high level of expertise, reliable technologies and experienced partners are required to secure the IT systems of critical infrastructure facilities in accordance with the requirements of the IT Security Act, the CRITIS Regulation and, in particular, the NIS 2 Directive.

 

The NIS 2 Directive aims to ensure a high common level of cybersecurity in the EU and strengthen the resilience of critical sectors. It extends the scope to additional sectors, tightens security requirements and introduces stricter enforcement measures to improve cybersecurity across the EU.

Sanctions

Fines and Liability for Non-Compliance

Operators of critical infrastructure are subject to particularly strict regulations on data protection and IT security. Violations of these regulations can have serious consequences. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides for fines of up to 20 million euros or four percent of annual global turnover if critical infrastructure facilities violate the regulations.

 

The German Implementation Act for the NIS 2 Directive further tightens the sanctions. It provides for fines of up to 10 million euros or up to two percent of annual global turnover. These sanctions can be imposed for serious breaches of cybersecurity requirements.

 

Furthermore, NIS-2 explicitly obliges management levels to implement and maintain appropriate security measures. Failures in this area can result in personal liability risks for management bodies. The possible sanctions are not limited to financial aspects. There is also the possibility of criminal law consequences, which further increases the pressure on KRITIS operators and their management bodies to act. To minimize risks, critical infrastructure operators should establish robust security systems and continuously review their effectiveness.
