10 notable critical infrastructure cybersecurity initiatives in 2023

Cybersecurity for critical national infrastructure (CNI) industries is a priority in 2023 due to increasing threats from global tensions, nation-state actors, and ransomware. This has led to several initiatives from vendors, governments, and industry bodies to boost cybersecurity in CNI. Examples include the UK’s introduction of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act, the EU’s establishment of the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), and the task force on resilience and critical infrastructure protection formed by NATO and the EU.
