about this training
The rise of digitalization has led to more interconnected rail systems. While this has propelled our trains and metros forward at some seriously high speed, it has also dramatically expanded the threat landscape.
During this training, you will encounter with the private world of railroad systems and technologies. You will learn about the essential functions of a modern railroad network and network architecture considerations. From there, we will wear our red hat and look at that from the attacker’s point of view: attack vectors, low-hanging fruits, attractive targets, and possible damage. In the end, you will understand the railroad cybersecurity risks along with the perspective of the railroad operations’ unusual challenges.
Our world is adopting new railroad technologies and services to offer a better, faster, easier, and more connected transport experience. It is our duty to keep those services and infrastructure safe and secure for all the passengers, but also keep those available for a stable economy and proper way of life.
