overview
In this breakfast session, our expert course instructor Howard Parkinson will discuss how railway regulators, operators, and OEMs deal with national critical infrastructure. 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 regulations.
This places their safety critical software under serious threat – not to mention the mandatory 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 will also be implications concerning system safety and resilience.
Key Discussion Points:
- 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.
The breakfast session will be interactive and engaging, providing attendees with valuable insights and actionable takeaways to enhance their skills in a rapidly changing world. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences, and exchange ideas.
