overview

Key Learning Objectives

  • What is Railway Cyber Security? (putting it into the context of railway and transportation).
  • Identify the threats and vulnerabilities (such as cyber security, safety and availability).
  • Develop mitigation actions for threats and vulnerabilities and recovery from potential consequences.
  • Cyber Security – What standards are available for dealing with threats.
  • An understanding of how TS50701 and IEC62443 can improve cyber security across the entire railway.
  • How to manage IT and OT cyber security as a business.

Background

The railway sector is facing a new challenge: the Network Information Security (NIS) regulations. According to a 2020 survey by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), only 33% of rail operators of essential services (OES) have fully implemented defensive measures against cyber-attacks, as recommended by NIS regulations.

This places their software under serious threat – not to mention their compliance with regulations. When security breaches occur the ripple effect throughout an organisation can be vast, with implications that are both financial and personal. There may also be implications concerning system safety and resilience.

About the Course

This 2-day course is designed for engineers, managers and other rail decision makers to learn about the TS50701/IEC62443 standards for OT. This course will help attendees expand their knowledge and make better decisions around the standards and their application in the area of railway cyber security and conduct discussions as an educated client should.

This course is based upon the new railway cyber security specific CENELEC specification TS50701 and best practice from other OT and IT cyber security standards such as IEC62443.

The training provides a complete overview of the important standards, with well-structured presentations and discussion sessions ensuring that attendees get the most from participating.

Who Will Benefit

This course is for railway business leaders, managers, railway inspectors, railway legislators, safety professionals, planners, Information Technology (IT) professionals, resilience specialists and railway engineers tasked with making decisions that could impact the cyber resilience of technical and organisational systems.
