MCS and Lyxion are entering into a strategic partnership to support organizations in making their IT and OT processes resilient and secure. This partnership marks a new step in strengthening and securing the industrial IoT ecosystem around NIS2 compliance. Within this ecosystem, MCS will become Lyxion's dedicated hardware partner and will also provide in-depth support for Lyxion customers' IoT challenges.
Lyxion is known for its multidisciplinary approach to IIoT portfolio management. They focus on compliance, security, and operational efficiency. The partnership with MCS enables Lyxion to offer its customers a reliable and standardized foundation for inventory management and device lifecycle management. These are two key pillars within the NIS2 domain.
Adding value in a complex IIoT landscape
The rise of IIoT offers unprecedented opportunities. But it also poses challenges in inventory management, security, firmware updates, and device traceability. Many organizations struggle with inconsistent labeling, missing documentation, and inadequate firmware and configuration tracking. Furthermore, European legislation and regulations, such as NIS2 and the EU Data Act, are increasingly being implemented. This increases the need for structure and standardization.
The foundation for this collaboration is a shared vision for NIS2, which has a significant impact on organizations and their supply chains. For Lyxion, this means an expanded network, enabling customers to benefit from rapid execution and access to advanced IIoT capabilities.
MCS provides more than just hardware within the Lyxion ecosystem. This partnership also allows them to actively advise their customers on NIS2 and compliance, change management, architecture, and innovation. This allows organizations to minimize risk and better anticipate device obsolescence or end-of-life.
Together you will go further
Jean-Philippe Aerts, Head of Product Management at MCS, about this collaboration: “We are thrilled with our new partnership with Lyxion. Awareness of digital resilience is crucial these days. This collaboration will allow us to further professionalize our IoT services, with cybersecurity as a central focus. As a Value Add Solution Provider, it's crucial for us to achieve ISO9001 and NIS2-QM20 compliance this year. This allows us to anticipate the future CRA regulations, which will take effect at the end of 2027. Lyxion has the expertise we, and our partners, need to roll out secure, future-proof industrial IoT applications.”
Kris Verhoeven, co-founder of Lyxion: “Our customers often work with dozens of IoT solutions, and many more will be added in the coming years. At the same time, new European regulations are tightening the playing field considerably: you have to maintain control from manufacturing to decommissioning. Together with MCS, we're tackling the challenge of standardizing both security-related and operational processes, relieving the burden on our customers and making the CISO happy.”
