Workshop: CySec in Public Transport

In collaboration with our partner Compass Security, we are pleased to offer you a workshop in which we enable you to implement security policies through an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and understand their impact on operations and processes. In addition, we provide the necessary domain knowledge to implement cybersecurity measures in the areas of systems, networks and applications.
Note: The workshop will be held in German.

Cybersecurity in public transport – need for action and possible solutions

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important in public transport. The integrity and availability of data are crucial for smooth operations. Railway companies and infrastructure managers must therefore take measures to protect facilities, systems and vehicles containing information technology systems from unauthorised access and to meet today’s requirements. This requires a clear allocation of responsibilities in the area of cyber security, regular security audits and risk-based measures to ensure adequate information security.
