How well prepared is the railway industry for cybersecurity? 

Digitalisation in the rail sector is progressing rapidly and the challenges in cybersecurity are growing with it. Many companies are faced with the question: how can IT systems and infrastructures be effectively protected when existing standards only offer limited guidance? 

As part of a specialised cybersecurity awareness workshop, PROSE shed light on current challenges and proven solutions. Together with the participants, we analysed the status quo, compared security strategies with current standards and developed concrete next steps. 

We focussed in particular on three key questions: 

• How can companies prepare for new specifications such as NIS-2 or IEC 62443? 
• Are the roles and responsibilities in projects clearly defined or does this unintentionally create security gaps? 
• How can cybersecurity be ensured across the entire value chain? 

With targeted analyses and practical recommendations, we support our customers in anchoring cybersecurity as an integral part of their digital strategy. Threats are constantly evolving – it’s high time we did the same.
