The European Union Agency for Railways jointly organised with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) an online conference on Cybersecurity in Railways.
Over two days, more than 600 participants joined virtually to hear about Policy, Standardisation and Certification, Research & Innovation, and Information Sharing & Cooperation.
Detailed presentations shed light on how to improve the resilience of the railway system to cyber threats, with experts from the European Commission (DG CNCT & MOVE), the National Safety Authority (ESPF), CENELEC WG 26, Shift2Rail (TD 2.11 and 4SECURERAIL), UIC, ER-ISAC and UNIFE.
At the end of the conference, the participants were of the opinion that topics for future conferences could include, among others: new technologies; cyber risk management for railways; cyber threat landscape; the update of Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI); cyber skills and training and cyber incident response.
The success of this event demonstrates the advantages of the ERA-ENISA cooperation in the field of railway cybersecurity, and how railway stakeholders can benefit from the cross-fertilisation of both the cybersecurity and the railway regulatory framework.
