ISHG Highlights Importance of Deployment in Industrial Cybersecurity
The ISHG emphasizes that cybersecurity in industrial communication depends not only on protocols but also on their deployment and management. This perspective aligns with regulatory expectations, such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

The Industrial Security Harmonisation Group (ISHG) has outlined that secure industrial communication is influenced by deployment practices rather than protocols alone. Key points include the context-dependency of security, the inadequacy of built-in features without proper implementation, and the necessity for compensating controls like network segmentation and physical safeguards.
This approach aligns with emerging regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2, which focus on operational security for hardware and software. The ISHG shared these insights at Hannover Messe 2026, guiding industry stakeholders on enhancing security for industrial communication systems.
