Innovation and change are coming to the rail industry. As infrastructure projects approach the end of lifecycles, a new era of rail travel is emerging that will be defined by digital technology, enabling improved services and better experiences. A digital rail network also brings security challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that the rail industry maintains its impressive safety record. Whilst security and safety are not inextricably linked, a security failure may have an adverse effect on rail industry safety, and this has resulted in a considerable amount of work to establish security standards and controls to improve cyber resilience.
