Summit Overview 💡
Now in its 13th edition, the Rail Cybersecurity Summit 2027 is one of the rail sector’s longest-running forums dedicated to railway cybersecurity, operational resilience, and the protection of rail operational technology (OT) environments. The summit brings together rail operators, infrastructure managers, rolling stock manufacturers, OEMs, technology providers, regulators, and cybersecurity leaders to address the evolving cybersecurity and resilience challenges facing modern railway systems. As rail networks become increasingly connected and dependent on complex supplier ecosystems, railway organisations face growing pressure to strengthen operational resilience, secure operational technology environments, and align with emerging standards, regulatory expectations, and frameworks such as IEC 63452. The event provides a practical, operator-led forum for collaboration and discussion between operators, infrastructure owners, OEMs, suppliers, and government stakeholders working to improve cybersecurity and resilience across the railway sector.
