SRC6SS- Cybersecurity Risk Assessment of Virtually Coupled Train Sets
Output type:
The increasing digitalisation and interconnectedness of railway systems have highlighted the need for strong cybersecurity measures, as demonstrated by incidents like the sabotage of trains in Poland. With evolving threats such as ransomware and DDoS attacks, continuous vigilance is essential. Regulatory efforts, including EU directives like the Cybersecurity Act and NIS 2, aim to strengthen cybersecurity in the transportation sector. This work focuses on assessing cybersecurity risks for the Virtually Coupled Train Set (VCTS) design within the R2DATO EU Rail project, using methodologies from the Shift2Rail initiative. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate risks, and ensure compliance with standards like IEC 62443 to enhance railway system security.
