The Secure Train: How to Build a Holistic Rolling Stock Cybersecurity Architecture

Event Summary

As railway vehicles become increasingly connected, cybersecurity has become a critical component of rolling stock design and operation. This webinar explores how to develop a holistic cybersecurity architecture that protects onboard systems while ensuring safe, reliable and resilient railway operations.

Industry experts from Westermo, RazorSecure, Siemens, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and CyberShield will discuss practical approaches to securing modern train communication networks and operational technology (OT) environments against evolving cyber threats.

Description

Digitalisation has transformed rolling stock into highly connected systems that integrate train control, passenger information, remote diagnostics, onboard networking and maintenance platforms. While these technologies improve operational efficiency and passenger experience, they also introduce new cybersecurity risks that must be managed throughout the asset lifecycle.

This webinar will examine how railway organisations can build a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy for rolling stock by combining secure network architectures, risk management practices and industry best practices.

Topics are expected to include:

• Cybersecurity challenges facing modern rolling stock
• Designing secure onboard communication networks
• Protecting operational technology (OT) systems
• Best practices for railway cybersecurity architecture
• Building cyber resilience across connected railway assets
• Lessons learned from railway operators and industry experts

The session brings together speakers from leading railway organisations and cybersecurity specialists to share practical insights into protecting next-generation railway fleets.
