CENELEC IEC63452 and TS50701 - Rail Cyber Security

This course is based upon the new railway cybersecurity-specific IEC63452 and TS50701 standards, and best practices from other OT and IT Cybersecurity standards such as ISO-27001, IEC624423 and the Australian Standard® AS 7770 Rail Cyber Security.

CENELEC IEC63452 and TS50701 – Rail Cyber Security Training

12 Self-Paced Modules + 3 Live Interactive Sessions

About the Course

The railway sector is facing a new challenge: the Network Information Security (NIS) regulations. According to a 2020 survey by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), only 33% of rail operators of essential services (OES) have fully implemented defensive measures against cyber attacks, as recommended by NIS regulations. This places their software under serious risk, not to mention their lack of compliance with the new regulations.

This CENELEC IEC63452 and TS50701 Rail Cyber Security training is an introduction to the major themes of cybersecurity and will start you on a journey to the creation of a secure rail operation. After taking this course, you will be able to communicate effectively, make informed trade-offs, assess risk, improve defences, and reduce vulnerabilities in your systems.

Who Will Benefit

This blended CENELEC IEC63452 and TS50701 rail cyber security online course is for railway business leaders, managers, railway inspectors, railway legislators, safety professionals, planners, information technology (IT) professionals, resilience specialists and railway engineers tasked with making decisions that could impact the cyber resilience of technical and organisational systems.

The course is focused more towards railway Operational technology (OT), although it also covers IT issues, particularly their security risks and strategies from ISO-27001. No prior knowledge of cybersecurity is required for this course.

Key Learning Objectives

  • What is Cybersecurity? Putting it into the context of railway and transportation
  • Identify the threats and vulnerabilities (such as cybersecurity, safety and availability)
  • Develop mitigation actions for threats and vulnerabilities and recovery from potential consequences
  • Cybersecurity: What standards are available for dealing with threats
  • An understanding of IEC63452 and TS50701 and how it can improve cybersecurity across the entire railway
