Presentation title:
Be effective in protecting against the cybercrime
Summary:
Although Railway equipment cannot be classified as ICT systems, they use ICT equipment and/or software components, so they inherit the Cyber Security concerns of ICT. What happens if a cyber-attack involves a critical infrastructure as railway signaling? The most likely event it’s a denial of service resulting in train stops with loss of money and trust, but a safety iss
ue cannot be excluded too. All these threats are increasing as the recent cyber attack to government institutions, banks and service company are demonstrating.
If we focus the attention on railway signalling, we obtain that systems like ERTMS/ETCS are very complex and composed of several sub system (trackside equipment, on-board equipment, processing systems, network connections and radio links) interconnected. Each subsystem requires a deep security analyses, for instance a radio link can be jammed with consequent on capacity reduction or messages integrity. Complex systems as ERTMS/ETCS also require a holistic approach to ensure a higher level of protection.
