Greetings from Technische Universität Dresden! Today and tomorrow I am attending a conference regarding Control Command and Signalling (CCS) systems. We discuss the most recent technological, political and strategical developments, such as: – Digitalisation of railway– Advanced Protection System (APS)– European Train Control System (ETCS)– Automatic train operation (ATO)– …and many more topics.
This morning I’m on the way to Frankfurt for ICS – Informatik Consulting Systems participating at a DKE security working group meeting regarding standardisation of railway security.
The Polish Press Agency (PAP) reports a cyber attack on the Polish rail network in the north-west of the country in Szczecin. A BBC article reports: “Hackers broke into railway frequencies to disrupt traffic in the north-west of the country overnight, the Polish Press Agency (PAP) reported on Saturday.The signals were interspersed with recording of…
Step 1: Plan Security Management: This is the first step in the process, indicating the importance of planning and managing security measures effectively. Step 2: Security Risk Analysis (IEC 62443-3-2): The second step involves conducting a security risk analysis in accordance with the IEC 62443-3-2 standard. This step is crucial for identifying potential security risks…
As with any new technology, the “other side” is trying to figure out how to use it to their advantage.
