About Session
Technical Level: Beginner
Rail operational systems pose unique cybersecurity challenges due to their complex, distributed nature and reliance on legacy technologies. Unlike other OT environments, rail networks span both trackside and onboard systems, each with strict safety and real-time requirements. This session explores the technical and cultural barriers to implementing effective cybersecurity in the rail sector, including outdated components, proprietary protocols, and limited information sharing. Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of the rail-specific threat landscape and learn how tailored cybersecurity strategies can improve resilience across the industry.
