As railway systems become more digital and connected, cyber threats endanger operations, passenger safety, and railroad networks.
Railway penetration testing detects vulnerabilities in signaling, control, and communication systems, ensuring compliance and protection against cyberattacks.
The Challenges of Railway Security
Railway systems combine legacy infrastructure with modern technology, creating a complex attack surface. Vulnerabilities in signaling, train control, and communication systems can cause disruptions, unauthorized access, and safety risks.
Meeting IEC 62443, CENELEC EN 50129, and NIS 2 standards requires rigorous testing, monitoring, and risk assessment to ensure security and compliance. Want to enhance railway cybersecurity?
