Having worked with leading rail companies (read how we worked with Northern Rail to protect 10 million passenger journeys) over the last 5 years, we have learnt a lot about helping them meet challenges with cyber security frameworks including the NIS Directive, NIST Cyber Security Framework and ...

Ahead of our upcoming rolling stock cyber security webinar with Cyber Senate on the 28th August, we would like to explore some of the attack vectors that are affecting rolling stock today, and how you may not have considered them. One key element that many operators do not consider with rolling ...

When I started RazorSecure, I had two initial goals, to reduce the amount of time it takes to detect a cyber security breach, and to reduce the number of false positives that cyber security software generates. When looking at these two problems, I came to a conclusion that would set the tone for ...

“We’ll just keep it secret, they can’t hack what they don’t understand” It sounds like a pretty compelling argument does it? You’ve just finished designing a system, it uses some proprietary software that has been developed in house and the designs are marked as confidential internally. How could ...

Every organisation faces cyber security threats. Although most organisations are focused on preventing data breaches, the railway industry faces a more unique threat landscape. Protection of data is only part of the challenge for rail operators, they face a more significant threat in attacks ...

Today’s cyber threats can target all types of systems, networks and devices, especially those that make up critical infrastructure. Every industry and organisation is unique, and has its own challenges and parameters for security. The modern network architecture on rolling-stock is no different, as ...

At a time of increasing volumes of data flowing across on-board operational networks and growing cyber security concerns targeting the railway industry, complete network visibility is a must for train operators. To protect your network and have a comprehensive understanding of your cyber risk, you ...

Video Surveillance cameras are often discussed when we review cyber risks present on rolling-stock networks with Train Operators. A typical train may have up to 8 cameras per car, so total numbers in the 1000s for a large fleet is not uncommon, potentially making them the most widespread network ...

When we discuss security with many train operators, they often jump straight to deep packet inspection and firewalls. It is a well understood technology but we find that when we dig a bit deeper into their requirements, that actually they don’t need DPI at all, or what they think they get from DPI ...
