The German BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) and TÜV-Verband conducted a survey among German companies to assess the status of cybersecurity in the private sector. Some worrying results from my point of view are: 🌐 Link to the study: BSI – Presse – TÜV-Studie zur Cybersicherheit der deutschen Wirtschaft: Bedrohungslage steigt, Unternehmen wiegen sich…
Critical infrastructure faces a growing number of security threats.. Critical infrastructure typically relies on Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and other non-IT components, often referred to as “Operational Technology.” To effectively assess cybersecurity risks within operational technology (OT) systems, adhering to the internationally recognized IEC 62443 standard is best practice. IEC 62443-3-2, part of…
Railway safety is a critical aspect of transportation that ensures the protection of passengers, staff, and infrastructure. Adhering to established safety norms is essential for minimizing risks and enhancing the reliability of railway systems. This blog post will explore key European railway safety standards EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. Safety measures are essential…
Today I attended the CNA e.V. railway technology forum 2024 in Nuremberg for ICS GmbH. The title of the conference was “Unlocking the opportunities of railtech”, which is both necessary and possible with the help of digital systems such as ETCS, ATO and CTMS – if it’s done in the right way. Cybersecurity plays a vital role in…
