S2 Grupo | Cybersecurity in the railway sector

The implementation of digital technologies in the railway sector has achieved a significant increase in efficiency in all areas, whether in business processes or their management. But has it been accompanied by adequate protection?
As a result of integration, the security perimeter to be protected has been extended beyond the physical perimeters and has put its OT systems at the center of the cybercriminals' target, since their commitment can interrupt operations, affecting the continuity of an essential service such as transportation. What can we do about it?

The best way to start protecting yourself is to be aware of the sector's weaknesses in terms of cybersecurity:

- Limited application of security criteria in systems design
- Concept of 'security by obscurity'
- Lack of awareness of the risks inherent to industrial environments.
- Over-reliance on physical access control.
- And that's not all!
