The NIS2 directive is here, bringing strict new cybersecurity requirements for critical
infrastructure, manufacturing, and operational technology. If you are relying on
legacy VNC with shared passwords or exposing your entire network via a VPN, you 
are at risk of non-compliance.

In this short explainer, we break down how to secure your legacy factory screens
and Human Machine Interfaces without ripping and replacing your existing architecture.
Learn how Agilicus AnyX applies zero trust to legacy protocols, delivering multi-
factor authentication and end-to-end encryption seamlessly through your web browser.
