Cybersecurity for Trains

Who’d wish for a hacker having a train’s controls at their fingertips? Nobody – except for that hacker and other like-minded bad actors. What makes such a nightmare scenario possible is, of course, digitalization. As it transforms our lives, it is also a key part of today´s railways, and it makes it safer, more efficient, and convenient for both passengers and train operators. At the same time, digital systems expose railways to cybersecurity risks, so we need to take care that they are minimized as much as possible. Not an easy task: They are as versatile and dynamic as the whole digital world we live in. But luckily, that hacker up to no good has a counterpart, a team of cybersecurity experts that are attuned to this challenge – and meet it every day.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It sure isn’t easy. Everything is getting more connected. And with that the risk of successful cyberattacks increases daily. Whether if companies, organizations or the society – we all have to protect it all: sensitive data, infrastructures, products, and most importantly, our people. No small task to do it right – and hard to wrap your head around it all. In our Siemens Cybersecurity Podcast Siemens’ Chief Cybersecurity Officer Natalia Oropeza and Cybersecurity expert Mirko Ross talk about all these challenges – and what to do about them.
