5th ERA-ENISA Conference on Cybersecurity in Railways

Description

There we go for the 5th edition of the Cybersecurity in Railways conference, the annual event dedicated to exploring the latest advancements, best practices, and challenges in the field of cybersecurity in the railway sector. It is organised by the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), with the support of Estonian Railways.

This year, the location of the conference is moving away from the traditional Lille and Athens to get closer to the implementation of railway cybersecurity projects. The event takes place in Tallinn, Estonia, on 1-2 December. The support of Estonian Railways is the first step in supporting the cyber rail community with their local priorities. 

The 2025 edition brings together cybersecurity professionals, researchers, industry experts, government officials, and practitioners to exchange knowledge, insights, and experiences. 

The topics of this joint event, together with the strong support from the European Commission, cover:

• Opening with a focus on regional challenges/initiatives
• Cybersecurity policy updates: NIS2 directive, CRA regulation, European Commission request for TSI updates
• Capacity building and training for the railway sector
• Feedback from railway cybersecurity projects: national implementations, sector initiatives 

As every year, the conference keeps on providing networking opportunities, aiming at building a railway cybersecurity community. Speakers and participants share information on the latest developments and raise awareness among railway stakeholders about cybersecurity risks and mitigations.
