NISG 2026 und NISV 2026: Die neuen Cybersicherheitspflichten für Unternehmen in Österreich
Seit 1. Oktober 2026 gilt in Österreich das Netz- und Informationssystemsicherheitsgesetz 2026 (NISG 2026), mit dem die europäische NIS-2-Richtlinie umgesetzt wird. Es verpflichtet Einrichtungen in zahlreichen Branchen, ihre IT-Systeme wirksam zu schützen und erhebliche Cybervorfälle rasch zu melden. Ergänzend ist am 2. Oktober 2026 die Netz- und Informationssystemsicherheits-Verordnung (NISV 2026) in Kraft getreten. Sie legt fest, welche Schutzmaßnahmen im Einzelnen erforderlich sind und ab wann ein Vorfall als so schwerwiegend gilt, dass er gemeldet werden muss. Die neuen Pflichten gelten ohne Übergangsfrist – erste Verpflichtungen sind daher bereits zu beachten.

When even icons fall: design lessons from the Crocs saga
The Crocs clog is one of the most recognisable shoe designs in the world. The Design Museum London even included it in its publication Fifty Shoes That Changed the World. Yet, on 22 April 2026, the General Court of the EU (GC) declared the corresponding Registered EU Design invalid for a second time (T-228/25). The message is clear: no design is untouchable, regardless of how famous, commercially successful or culturally significant it may be.
